Overview
• Setting context - examples of complex system
projects spanning my career
• Roles played by standards, guides, and BOKs on
projects
• Why use PMI’s PMBOK and various PMI certification
programs
2

COMPLEX SYSTEMS – EARLY EXAMPLES
• NASA Geodynamics Project (JHU) – LANDSAT Data Analysis
• Gaseous Centrifuge Uranium Enrichment Plant, Martin
Marietta Corporation, Piketon, Ohio, with process control
computers and instrumentation (~$40M) (NQA
Compliance)
• Rockwell Telecommunication: Automatic Call Distributors
(ACD): Project management (some), evolving definition of
coding standards, testing/CM/QA (Telco Compliance)
• Fuel Cycle Facility, a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at
Idaho Falls, Idaho (NQA/Software Compliance)
• Advanced Photon Source, a national synchrotron-radiation
light source, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois
until 2001 (SE)

COMPLEX SYSTEMS – LATER EXAMPLES
• Compact Muon Solenoid Detector for the Large Hadron
Collider, the world's largest and most powerful particle
collider, built by the European Organization for Nuclear
Research (CERN),Geneva, Switzerland
• Tevatron particle collider and other particle accelerators
at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois
• Lattice Quantum Chromodynamic (LQCD) Distributed
Computing Facility, a set of large-scale computers,
purpose-built to perform lattice quantum chromo-dynamics
simulations with the project office at Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois

SOFTWARE QUALITY
•History of software quality (mostly used for compliance)
•2014: IEEE Std. 730 Software Quality Assurance Process
(WG)
•2004 - IEEE Guide Adoption of ISO/IEC 90003: 2004
Software Engineering—Guidelines for the Application of
ISO 9001:2000 to Computer Software
15
•1995: IEEE std. 730.1 IEEE Guide to Software Quality
Assurance
•1989: IEEE Std. 730.1 IEEE Software Quality Assurance
•Various versions of NQA-1

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
•SeBoK 2014 – A Guide to the Systems Engineering Body
of Knowledge
•2008 – ISO/IEC 15288 Systems and software engineering
-- System life cycle processes(WG aux.)
•2005 – IEEE 1220-2005 Systems Engineering Process
•2006 - OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML)
16
•Family of IEEE1175.x IEEE Standards for CASE Tool
Interconnections—Reference Model for Specifying System
Behavior (WG)

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING - SPECIALIZED
A selection of specialized engineering standards for Complex
Systems
• DOE 413.3 Program and Project Management for Acquisition
of Capital Assets
• DOE O 414.1D, Quality Assurance
• DO-178C/ED-12C, ‘Software Considerations in Airborne
Systems and Equipment Certification’
• NASA-STD-8739.8 w/Change 1 Software Assurance Standard,
2004
• MIL-STD-490A June 1966 (superseding MIL-STD490, 1968):
Specification Practices
17

PROJECT MANAGEMENT – A FRAMEWORK
•2013: PMI’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) – In 2013, the fifth edition was
issued. Also designated as ANSI/PMI 99-001-2008 and
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Std,
1490-2011 synchronized with multiple versions of PMBOK
•1998 - IEEE 1058 IEEE Standard for Software Project
18
Management Plans
Lesson learned:
•Need a set of standards and guides that can be synchronized,
modifiable for updates, and balanced.
•Need standards and BOKs that can be used for long-term
training

WHY CHOOSE PMP® & OTHER CERTIFICATIONS?
Why PMBOK and PMP certifications?
• Most useful when applied to systems construction projects
with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds
• Common process definitions and vocabulary - used at various
industries
• PMI’s (re-)certification process is popular and achievable
• Training programs for certifications are widely accessible
• Re-certification is not overwhelming; PMI makes getting
PDUs easy
• Training and on-boarding.
