About Sarah Sheard
From an early career engineering satellites and then air traffic control software, I have consulted with government and industry clients to establish or improve their capability to do systems engineering, particularly for software-based systems. I specify in adapting techniques to address truly complex systems, such as systems of systems- Identify and reduce complexity, and mitigate its effect on performance- Clarify the responsibility of systems engineering- Connect contributions of individual engineers to the company\'s systems engineering competency- Improve systems engineering strength with lean processes, competencies, and trained systems engineers- Allocate a minimized training budget most effectively across skills and employees to best improve the organization\'s systems engineering capability- Identify and repair communications and work breakage points among systems engineering, software engineering and program management.
