The Systems Engineer SME (SES) will act as lead over other systems engineers. The SES will leverage tools such as Service Now, JIRA, or similar ITSM tools to monitor and review team member assignments to ensure equitable use of resources, and to exercise quality control over tasks. Additionally, the SES will meet with their team members daily in SCRUM fashion (10 minutes) to provide an opportunity to hear risks and will mitigate as necessary.

The SES is also responsible to ensure team members coordinate across teams as necessary for more complex tasks to ensure success, and to ensure team members embrace skill enhancement through mentoring and on‑the‑job training moments. Solutions requiring new software, methodologies, approaches, or other changes will be coordinated with the task lead and SME forums to ensure that all solutions are within the client’s compliance and are within the constraints of the ATO.

Solution stack baselines (a list of pre‑approved software and code) will be encouraged to eliminate unnecessary changes to baselines.
