Systems Engineering for Software Engineers brought theory into application since software implementation and development are directly relevant to my work. The case studies and stories from the field were engaging and applicable. Starting the course by reading some of the foundational papers on software development methodology helped contextualize later readings and discussions. I appreciated Ram taking the time to lay that foundation.
I am already thinking about bringing these concepts into my day to day work and continuing to coach my team by taking a more systematic approach to our work. I am excited about the material we covered in the course and look forward to using the frameworks and techniques discussed, particularly requirements, sequence diagrams, and ODC. I am trying ODC with an active project (integration systems to support the implementation of Workday Student as our institution's Student Information System (SIS)) to see if I can gain insights to help make the project more successful.
Thanks again!
