Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking on large-scale engineering programs is one of the most difficult, risky, and, when done well, rewarding undertakings a government or company can attempt. It not only pushes the envelope of what is possible but also defines a new envelope. It generates capabilities, technologies, products, and systems that are unique, have never been available before, and generates massive societal benefits. This paper discusses the major challenges in large-scale engineering programs and how can they be countered. In doing so, it details how the Joint MIT-PMI-INCOSE Community of Practice on Lean in Program Management set out to close this gap and re-unite the expertise from these three fields: lean thinking, program management, and systems engineering. It then explores the applicability of lean enablers in programs. It also overviews the relationship to the INCOSE Lean Enablers for systems engineering.
