In-Service Systems Working Group
The ISSWG Charter is
To provide improved advice on:
• The difficulties encountered in practice
in applying authoritative guidance on
SE, including the INCOSE SE
Handbook, to systems which are in
service. The Group should restrict itself
to difficulties which are related to the
fact that the systems are in the in
service phase of the lifecycle
• Best current practice in adapting SE
guidance to overcome these difficulties

Lean PM Chairs
- UNDER REVISION to align with long-term PMIINCOSE strategy Our goal is to apply lean thinking to improve the
integration between systems engineering and program
management on engineering programs. This will enable
programs to achieve cost, schedule and performance
goals while becoming more responsive to change at the
same time. To this end, we bring together systems
engineering, program management and lean
management expertise and operate as a joint working
group between INCOSE, PMI and MIT.

Lean Systems Engineering WG
Lean Systems Engineering WG
It is our goal to strengthen the practice of Systems
Engineering (SE) by exploring and capturing the synergy
between traditional SE and Lean. To do this, we will apply
the wisdom of Lean Thinking into SE practices integrating
people, processes, and tools for the most effective delivery
of value to program stakeholders; formulate the Body of
Knowledge of Lean SE; develop supplements to the
INCOSE SE Handbook (and other such manuals) with
Lean Enablers for SE; and develop and disseminate
training materials and publications on Lean SE within the
INCOSE community, industry, and academia
