1 ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION For years the development of systems engineering has been led by industries and systems that can be characterized by single‐customer projects and large systems with long development life‐cycle. As market starts to be driven by other features (smaller systems and shorter projects, mass commercial products), it is necessary to examine how far current systems engineering practices support the new rules and whether these new rules affect established systems engineering practices. This is of course an ambitious and long‐term job but this article would like with other papers sharing the same concern and presented at INCOSE'99 to pave the way for this endeavor. We present herein the intermediate results of an experiment carried out by MGE UPS Systems, a world class provider of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and that investigates the interface between marketing and engineering to identify if better work in this area can improve time‐to‐market.
