Masterclasses
This year PGCS will be running four Masterclasses, giving you more chance to learn from an industry expert. The Masterclasses will be running in-person only to allow them to have a more interactive format. Please note the Masterclasses are a separate registration fee to the Symposium.

Masterclass Title
Acquisition Reform is about becoming Digital, Agile and Evergreen; how this is enabled by Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
Masterclass Overview
MBSE is revolutionising acquisition to enable broader digital engineering, agile acquisition and more evergreen resilience.
The reform is more than an industry zeitgeist, the trial of a new Master subject on MBSE by UNSW and Old Dominion University (ODU) in 2024 found over 60 credible research articles and two 2023 major textbooks rigorously chosen to cover the MBSE processes, impacts and tradeoffs.

Masterclass Title
Systems Engineering Focused Agile Development
Masterclass Overview
A new methodology, SEFAD has been developed which takes a rigor-flexibility-rigor approach to development making use of the strengths of the Agile Scrum framework and the best practices of systems engineering methodologies.
SEFAD results is a common language that better allows cross-functional teams to communicate project needs while also allowing software developers to maintain flexibility in the execution of software projects.

Mastering Mission Success: Tracking Scope, Schedule, and Cost in Complex and Dynamic Agile/Hybrid Delivery Environments
Masterclass Overview
Effectively tracking progress against scope, schedule, and cost is
critical to program success.
This interactive, hands-on masterclass brings Agile PPM to life through a practical exercise, demonstrating how to track program performance in a dynamic environment.
Attendees will gain actionable strategies to not only answer the question, “Will we make it?” reliably, but also pivot effectively if the answer is “No.”
