UdemyComplex products—software platforms, infrastructure, manufacturing systems—don't come together accidentally. This course maps how they're developed: from initial concept through design, development, production, deployment, sustainment, and eventual disposal. You'll learn how different components relate and contribute to the system's mission. The approach is structured yet flexible, fitting diverse organizational contexts. It aligns with ISO/IEC/IEEE standards and the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook—the canonical reference for how industry manages complexity. Systems engineering terminology, notoriously confusing to newcomers, gets explained clearly here. The course suits anyone touching product development: project managers steering timelines, engineers building components, QA professionals ensuring quality, operations teams sustaining systems post-launch. No background in systems engineering is assumed. Each video introduces a principle; depth comes from understanding how each piece influences the others. It's both a foundation and a reference for how serious products get built.
Product Development & Systems Engineering uses a structured yet flexible approach to provide a holistic, solid foundation to the successful development of complex products or systems.
This course will take you step by step through the product life cycle, from conception to design, development, production, deployment, sustainment and disposal. You will learn how the different components of a system interrelate, and how each contributes product accomplishing its missions. Systems engineering terminology, which can so often confuse the newcomer, is presented in an easily digestible form. Video lectures for individual topics will introduce key concepts. This course welcomes anyone who wants to find out how complex products or systems can be developed and implemented successfully. It is relevant to anyone in project management, engineering, quality assurance, product support, operations, management, maintenance and many other areas. No specific background is required, and we welcome learners with all levels of interest and experience.
The course aligns closely with ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 and 29148:2023 - the standards used by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). This course covers most of the material from the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook 5th edition - and more!
