Course Aim
The Simulation and Projects - Overview course provides attendees with an understanding of the underlying concepts and theory of simulation, and an introduction to the use of simulation for gaining insight/ supporting decision making in system acquisition. The course places simulation in the context of the other related disciplines involved in the delivery of technical projects and the system life cycle, particularly in the context of capability management, systems engineering, and Defence project and product management. The course also introduces the issues associated with acquiring simulation systems (as distinct from other system types). Issues related to simulation management and practical usage are identified.
Systems are typically delivered through the efforts of a project by an enterprise or business using the expertise of different specialist domains. The course is ideally suited to those expected to be involved in decision making over the life cycle of the system, particularly those relatively new to program, project and product management, from Defence, other government agencies, and defence industry.
