PM-SE Integration Workshop by Tonex
The PM-SE Integration Workshop by Tonex provides a focused training experience designed to bridge the gap between Project Management (PM) and Systems Engineering (SE) for complex programs. This course emphasizes the importance of integrated thinking, collaboration, and communication to ensure mission success. Participants will gain practical tools to align schedules, budgets, and technical requirements effectively. The course also explores how poor integration can introduce vulnerabilities, leading to cost overruns, project delays, and security gaps. Strengthening PM-SE integration is critical in today’s digital era, where cybersecurity concerns demand greater visibility, coordination, and risk-informed planning across project and engineering domains.
