The overall goals of systems engineering are to reduce risks, identify and correct defects as soon as possible, provide a common language between subject matter experts (SMEs) and system designers/technologists, and a system design that responds to needs and requirements instead of dictating needs and requirements
Other benefits of systems engineering include:
· better system documentation
· higher level of user engagement
· system functionality that meets user needs
· potential for shorter project cycles
· systems that can evolve with a minimum of redesign and cost
· higher level of system reuse
· more predictable outcomes from projects
