The term “2025 is500” refers to a long-term goal set by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) to improve the state of systems engineering by the year 2025. The “500” in the term stands for “five hundred times better,” which represents the ambitious target of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of systems engineering by a factor of 500.
The “2025 is500” initiative aims to address the growing complexity and challenges in systems engineering, particularly in areas such as software-intensive systems, cyber-physical systems, and systems of systems. By bringing together experts from industry, academia, and government, INCOSE seeks to develop and promote best practices, standards, and tools that can help organizations design, develop, and operate systems more effectively and efficiently.
