SE planning, as documented in the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), formulates the approach to conduct, manage and control all the technical activities to deliver a desired capability. SE Planning begins with the identification and decomposition of user needs and concepts, and progresses through development, delivery and sustainment of the final product. DAG Chapter 4 [https://acc.dau.mil/dag4] provides overarching guidance on the systems engineering discipline, its activities and processes, and its practice in defense acquisition programs. This topical area contains information on SE Planning for DoD acquisitions.
