  Accelerator laboratories belong to the largest research investments to be found regardless laboratory, research institute or country funding the initiatives. This impose a great responsibility on the researchers and engineers developing, building and updating research facilities. Accelerator development are important research projects and will affect many stakeholders regardless if it is a smaller upgrade of an RF system or development of a large scale FEL. Wet developing new systems project management is a core competence for every laboratory. Yet this is a knowledge area often ignored in favor skill development in areas closer to physics and technology. This can be a very expensive mistake as the value of proper project management cannot be underestimated. This half day training will give you insight in the basics of projects. What is a project and what does project management mean. And how can this be adopted in accelerator development.

  Systems engineering has long been employed in defense and non-defense industries but not commonly in particle accelerator systems. The common definition of Systems Engineering is as follows "It is a transdisciplinary and integrative approach to enable the successful realization, use, and retirement of engineered systems, using systems principles and concepts, and scientific, technological, and management methods." This overview introduces participants to the fundamental principles of systems engineering and their application to the development of complex systems. Systems engineering helps address engineering challenges as well as how systems engineering is essential to project management. The overview will help the participant learn the language of methods and processes commonplace in industry. We will define the following through examples: systems, the systems development lifecycle, and methods of systems engineering, beginning with the system requirements. One example will be exploring a novel particle accelerator through systems engineering methods.
