Throughout AT&T Federal Systems Advanced Technologies (FSAT), many systems engineering processes were used by the various organizations, making it difficult to compare measures of effectiveness for each project's process. About one year ago, FSAT management chartered a Process Management Team (PMT) to develop a standard Systems Engineering process for FSAT. After one year, the PMT issued a generic Systems Engineering process document that will be used by all projects within FSAT. The process can be tailored to either commercial or government contracts and conforms to MIL‐STD‐499B. The standard process has been modeled in a computer‐aided engineering tool and is available to new projects on a computer disc. To support the process, special courses were developed to teach process fundamentals and give projects a jump‐start . In addition, a metrics program has been established that monitors and provides feedback to all projects using the standard or tailored process.
