Abstract

Project management (PM) orchestrates multiple processes and resources while ensuring compliance with quality standards. But as projects become increasingly complex, lifecycle PM struggles to optimize risk mitigation strategies. Nevertheless, Systems Engineering (SE) may complement PM in managing complex projects and mitigating associated risks. Testing this hypothesis, this study assesses whether integrating SE into PM improves project execution. Our qualitative research and data analysis highlight the adaptability of SE in addressing intricate issues. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that incorporating SE into PM methodologies substantially improves the execution of complex projects.
