This paper describes a device to enable project teams to measure how well they are performing systems engineering with respect to both process maturity and effectiveness and to determine the most important process areas to improve. The development and rationale for the systems assessment device and its application at the Rockwell Collins Avionics & Communications Division is described. Key features used to implement the device and to report project findings are illustrated. Lessons learned from application to 27 projects are reported.
