Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook: Improve system development by applying proven recipes for effective agile systems engineering by Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass
Worried about the growing complexity of systems in your organization? Manage it with recipes for applying agile methodologies and techniques in model-based systems engineering (MBSE)
Key Features- Learn how Agile and MBSE can work iteratively and collaborate to overcome system complexity
- Develop essential systems engineering products and achieve crucial enterprise objectives with easy-to-follow recipes
- Build efficient system engineering models using tried and trusted best practices
Agile MBSE can help organizations manage constant change and uncertainty while continuously ensuring system correctness and meeting customers' needs. But deploying it isn't easy.
Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook is a little different from other MBSE books out there. This book focuses on workflows - or recipes, as the author calls them - that will help MBSE practitioners and team leaders address practical situations that are part of deploying MBSE as part of an agile development process across the enterprise.
Written by Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass, a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through important systems engineering workflows and show you how they can be performed effectively with an agile and model-based approach. You'll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering, but we won't linger on the theory for too long. Each of the recipes will take you through initiating a project, defining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, designing system architecture, performing model-based engineering trade studies, all the way to handling systems specifications off to downstream engineering.
By the end of this MBSE book, you'll have learned how to implement critical systems engineering workflows and create verifiably correct systems engineering models.
What you will learn- Apply agile methods to develop systems engineering specifications
- Perform functional analysis with SysML
- Derive and model systems architectures from key requirements
- Model crucial engineering data to clarify systems requirements
- Communicate decisions with downstream subsystem implementation teams
- Verify specifications with model reviews and simulations
- Ensure the accuracy of systems models through model-based testing
If you are a systems engineer who wants to pursue model-based systems engineering in an agile setting, this book will show you how you can do that without breaking a sweat. Fundamental knowledge of SysML is necessary; the book will teach you the rest.
