> I'm actually surprised how little systems engineering methodology has penetrated the tech industry. Have CMMI and similar initiatives soured commercial enterprise on the idea?
I do not know. IMO, the CMMI-esque approach reeks of paperwork and micromanagement, and Agile approaches reek of lacking of planning. Both seem to be a bit problematic in their own way.
At any rate, would you mind providing some references & resources to read over for what you term systems engineering methodology? I am keen to understand other disciplines' approaches for getting engineering work done.
I'll start by directing you to the website of the membership society for systems engineers: http://www.incose.org Their products and publications section has some publicly-available documents discussing various topics.
The Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (http://www.sebokwiki.org/) would also be a good place to start. Probably quite a bit of overlap with the INCOSE site, but better organized.
