The result is a comprehensive guide to systems engineering activities across any number of possible projects. From automotive to defense to healthcare to infrastructure, systems engineering practitioners are at the heart of any project built on complex systems.

INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook readers will

Elaboration on the key systems life cycle process described in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288; Chapters covering key systems engineering concepts, system life cycle processes and methods, tailoring and application considerations, systems engineering in practice, and more; and Appendices, including an N2 diagram of the systems engineering processes and a detailed topical index.

Absolutely necessary reading material if you want to pass the INCOSE knowledge exam, but my god was it a struggle to get through. There is a LOT in here, and it is all very theoretical. Not a pleasure read. 2/5

That said, the book does not claim to be light reading material, and it does exactly what it sets up to do: go into details on the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 System Life Cycle Concepts, Models and Processes, Analyses and Methods, and describe tailoring and application considerations. Chapter 5 (SE in practice) adds little value in my opinion. In this regards, I have to give it a 4/5.

It was a very interesting and condensed reading experience. It is best for someone that has some experience and interest to learn more in detail.
