Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook Second Edition - Second Edition

By: Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass

Overview of this book

Agile MBSE can help organizations manage change while ensuring system correctness and meeting customers’ needs. But deployment challenges have changed since our first edition. The Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook’s second edition focuses on workflows – or recipes – 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. In this 2nd edition, the Cameo MagicDraw Systems Modeler tool – the most popular tool for MBSE – is used in examples (models are downloadable by readers). Written by a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through systems engineering workflows in the Cameo Systems Modeler SysML modeling tool and show you how they can be used with an agile and model-based approach. You’ll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering. Next, each recipe will take you through initiating a project, outlining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, specifying 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 learn how to implement systems engineering workflows and create systems engineering models.

Who this book is for

The book is, first and foremost, for systems engineers who need to produce work products for the specification of systems that include combinations of engineering disciplines, such as software, electronics, and mechanical engineering. More specifically, this book is about model-based systems engineering using the SysML language to capture, render, and organize the engineering data. Further, the book is especially about how to do all that in a way that achieves the benefits of agile methods – verifiably correct, adaptable, and maintainable systems. We assume basic understanding of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and at least some experience as a systems engineer.
