Two practitioners who have experience integrating program/project management and systems engineering conducted two workshops titled ‘Integrating Systems Engineering, Project Management, and Quality Management’ as an INCOSE Enchantment Chapter tutorial and at the 2018 International Symposium (IS18), respectively. The workshops included presentations by the researchers about their organization's integration implementations followed by small group discussion exercises on topics/issues to consider when making integration decisions. Discussion topics were drawn from Rebentisch (Ed., 2017) and included motivations to integrate, organizational environments that support or inhibit integration, influencers and influence, integration metrics, and success and failure contributors. Each exercise concluded with out‐briefs of the small groups' observations, analyses, and recommendations to the collective. A synthesis of these observations, analyses, and recommendations provide the bases for this paper.
