Managing risk and requirements in public transit is essential for ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and compliance with regulations. Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) provides a structured approach to identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the lifecycle of transit projects. By utilizing ELM tools, transit authorities can effectively gather and manage requirements from various stakeholders, ensuring that all needs are met while minimizing potential oversights.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- The integration of real-time data analytics allows for continuous monitoring of project risks, enabling proactive adjustments to plans and strategies
- The holistic view not only enhances decision-making processes but also fosters collaboration among teams, resulting in improved project outcomes
