Title: 

Taming Unreliable Variables in Systems Engineering

Abstract:  

Engineering does well when we deal with the core sciences of engineering disciplines; mass, physics, chemistry. But when we start to use the most common drivers of cost, schedule and risk it shifts from a question of correctness to a battle of wills between the business needs and the experience of the engineers. In this presentation Cameron walks through common methods to change that conversation back to data informed decision making to meet the needs of both.
