Engineering Disciplines Flashcards
System Engineering Plan (SEP)
Submitted at each major milestone. Outlines technical risks, processes, resources, organizations, metrics, and design
Details integration with existing capes
What are the 8 technical processes used to execute the overall System Engineering Process?
1) Stakeholder Requirements Definition
2) Requirements Analysis
3) Architecture Design
4) Transition
5) Validation
6) Verification
7) Integration
8) Implementation
What does the Stakeholder Requirements Definition step do?
Captures requirements, expectations, and contraints
What does the Requirements Analysis step do?
Translates needs into high-level requirements and functions
What does the Architecture Design step do?
Creates the system model, document, or digital representation that captures operational and functional requirements
What does the Implementation step do?
The production procedures of forming, joining, and finishing, or coding for software with the output of physical system elements defined
What does the Integration step do?
Systematically assembles lower level elements into higher levels.
What does the Verification step do?
Assures that it meets specification. involves developmental testing
What does the Validation step do?
Provides Objective evidence complies with stakeholder performance requirements in its intended operational environment
Operational effectiveness, suitability, sustainability, and survivability measured
What does the Transition step do?
Deploys the system and integrates accessories and support equipment in the Operational Environment.
What are the 8 technical management processes?
Decision Analysis
Technical Planning
Technical Assessment
Requirements Management
Risk Management
Configuration Management
Technical Data Management
Interface Management
What does the Decision Analysis process do?
Helps transform a decision opportunity into a tracible, defendable, and actionable plan
What does the Technical Planning Process do?
Defines the scope of technical effort required to develop, field, and sustain
Defined in the SEP
What does the Technical Assessment Process do?
Allows Acquisitions workforce to compare achieved results against defined criteria, measure technical progress, and the efficacy of plans and requirements.
What does the Requirements Management Process do?
Tracks requirements changes and maintains traceability of end users needs
What does the Risk Management Process do?
Critical to mitigate program uncertainties, and keep cost, schedule, and performance goals
What does the Configuration Management Process do?
Tracks and documents design changes
What does the Technical Date Management Process do?
Identifies, acquires, manages, and maintains technical data and software
What does the Interface Management Process do?
Ensures compliance and that all changes are documented within configurations management plan
