From page 106...
... • They provide Technical Authorities, who independently oversee programs and projects. These individuals have a formally delegated technical authority role traceable to the Administrator and are funded independent of programs and projects.1 NPR 7120.5, NASA Space Flight Program and Project Management Requirements, establishes the requirements by which NASA formulates and implements spaceflight programs and projects, consistent with the governance model described above, and it establishes a standard of uniformity for the process.
From page 107...
... Systems engineering at NASA requires the application of a systematic, disciplined engineering approach that is quantifiable, recursive, iterative, and repeatable for the development, operation, maintenance, and disposal of systems integrated into a whole throughout the life cycle of a project or program. The emphasis of systems engineering is on safely achieving stakeholder functional, physical, and operational performance requirements in the intended use environments over the system's planned life within cost and schedule constraints.
