Indeed, organizational processes are more or less specifically mentioned in systems engineering standards, but in practice, project managers tend to rely more on their own standards, which sometimes set forth practices that do not align with those of the systems engineering domain, hence the reported discrepancies that very often lead to project failure. Thus, we argue that, to improve the companies’ competitiveness when developing new products, cooperation between processes related to system development and project management is key to achieving performance and success. This article presents arguments that tend to support this assertion and introduces an ongoing project to develop both a method and tool that aim to integrate both domains.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LAAS Laboratory of the CNRS

Daniel Esteve is Emeritus Research Director at LAAS Laboratory of the CNRS (French National Center for Sciences and Research) in Toulouse, France. In 1968, he joined the LAAS-CNRS to participate in the development of microelectronics. In 1974, his research work took a new turn towards the management of different programs. In 1981, he was appointed Director of LAAS and later became Head of the Electronics and Computer Sciences Department at the French Ministry of Research and Technology. He is now Emeritus Research Director, and his investigations mainly concern the development of tools and processes needed in the design of complex systems and microsystems. Dr. Esteve has been awarded the CNRS medal of research (1969 and 1976) and the BLONDEL medal.</style></custom4><custom5><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">
Michel Malbert is an entrepreneur and consultant, and he holds a doctorate in Physics from the University of Toulouse. For more than thirty years, he was the CEO and founder of a company involved in applied mathematics. Its main activities were to model and simulate the interaction between elementary particles and matter, and to apply statistical methods to industrial problems. His interests include modelling, simulation, Monte Carlo methods, and others statistical methods.</style></custom5></record></records></xml>
