edVirtus arose from a need to address the growing demand for currency of knowledge and skills required in the capability management environment, particularly in Defence. Working with Defence projects requires a deeper understanding of the disciplines of Project Management and Systems Engineering including the associated processes, tools, and management practices.
edVirtus courses place systems engineering principles in the context of related disciplines involved in the delivery and management of capability. Disciplines such as Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM); Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA); Systems Safety; and Human Factors are explained in courses tailored for managers and discipline experts. More comprehensive courses provide a focus on critical activities such as Requirements Writing and the development of Project Execution Strategies. In 2022, we introduce Dr James Hanson with Effective Writing, a course that focusses on writing clearly and concisely about complex topics, writing persuasively in the face of contestability and writing strategically when the stakes are high.
