Education and Training Committee – 2013 Task Summary • Established a Joint Competency Working Group (JCWG) • Includes members from E&T Committee and INCOSE Competency WG • Main objective is to evolve to a globally accepted* and marketed standard competency framework, based on systems engineering effectiveness, that can be used to produce competency models tailored to the needs of the customer organizations. • Developed white paper and proposal to evolve current INCOSE UK Competencies Framework along four paths: • Evolve to an SE role-based competency framework that is extensible, scalable, and tailorable by the customer organization. • Evolve by adding the concept of classes. This is where the competencies achieve their interdependence with each other. • Evolve by including a Professional Class that covers leadership and soft skill competencies. • Evolve by adding a new level of proficiency called the Senior Practitioner to the existing four levels in the INCOSE UK Competencies Framework. * Approved for release as an INCOSE product.
Education and Training Committee - 2014 Task Plan • Proposed 2014 Tasks: • Develop crisp definitions of Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Behaviors and Experience. • Develop better definitions of the six classes. • Refine definition of the Senior Practitioner level. • Develop better definitions for each version (0.5, 0.75, and 1.0). • Explore how system complexity affects SE Roles. • Develop use cases. • Ensure consistency with INCOSE Certification program and SE Handbook. • Deliverables/Products • Competencies Framework V 0.5 • Competencies Framework V 0.75 • Competencies Framework V 1.0 • Conference Papers and Presentations • Final Report • Issues / Concerns: • Few outside UK use framework – Need to seek broader buy-in early and throughout development process and show how we can use evolved competencies framework to clarify what a SE is, what they do, and why they are important. • Project may face analysis paralysis – Need to set reasonable POA&M, stick with schedule, discuss, move forward, exhibit strong leadership along the way. • Schedule / Resources: • Two weeks before INCOSE IW 2014, send draft Version 0.5 to JCWG members. • Conduct working session at IW 2014 to finalize Version 0.5. • Conduct working session at IS 2014 to finalize Version 0.75 • Ultimate Goal: Produce Version 1.0 by IW 2015.
