An overview of the technical processes outlined in chapter 4 of the incose (international council on systems engineering) systems engineering handbook. It covers the 14 technical processes, including business and mission analysis, stakeholder needs and requirements definition, system requirements definition, architecture definition, design definition, implementation, integration, verification, transition, and more. The key activities, inputs, and outputs of each process, as well as important concepts like requirements characteristics, architecture frameworks, integration techniques, and maintenance types. This information would be useful for students and professionals studying or practicing systems engineering, as it provides a comprehensive summary of the core technical processes that are fundamental to the systems engineering discipline.

14 Technical Processes - Business and Mission Analysis Stakeholder Needs and Requirements Definitions System Requirements Definition Definition of technical processes - Define the systems rqts, transform rqts into a product, production, support and sustain the product, and disposal How many technical processes are there? - 14 Technical processes begin with what? - Needs and requirements Definition of a need - something wanted or required Definition of a requirement - formalized statement that can be verified and validated Three major activities of business and mission analysis - define problem space, characterize solution space, evaluate alternative solution classes Difference between ConOp and OpsCon - Conop describes the way the leadership wants to operate the organization and how the system helps-Enterprise level. The OpsCon is from the user perspective and describes what the system will do and why- business level List other life cycle concepts - acquisition,deployment,support, retirement Key outputs of business and mission analysis - Major stakeholder ID, preliminary lifecycle concepts, problem statement, alternative solution classes, preliminary validation criteria, preliminary MOE What are the 3 types of requirements - Business rqts, Stakeholder rqts, System Rqts What is a stakeholder - any entity (individual or organization) with a legitimate interest in the system What is the primary reference to determine if operation capability is validated? - stakeholder requirements
What are major activities of stakeholder needs and rqts analysis - identify stakeholders, define stakeholder needs, transform needs into stakeholder requirements, analyze stakeholder requirements What are major outputs of stakeholder needs and requirements development - lifecycle concepts, system function ID, stakeholder requirements, validation criteria, MOE, initial RVTM What techniques can be used to evaluate mission operational alternatives - tradeoff analysis and simulation What is purpose of system requirements definition - translate stakeholder and user view into a technical view of system What are the foundation of system definition, architecture, design and verification? - system requirements What things do system requirements specify? - characteristics, attributes, functions, performance What is iterative? - a set of processes repeated at the same level What is recursive - a set of processes repeated at multiple levels of a system What are major activities of system requirements definition - define system requirements, analyze system requirements What are major outputs of system rqts definition process? - system requirements, MOP, verification criteria, system functions, system function integration, updated RVTM What are some techniques employed for system rqts analysis - performance analysis, trade studies, constraint evaluation, cost-benefit analysis Characteristics of good requirements - necessary,implementation independent, unambiguous, Complete, Singular, Achievable, Verifiable, conforming Characteristics of group of requirements - Bounded, complete, feasible, consistent What is a Key Driving Requirement (KDR) - a requirement that has a significant impact on cost or schedule What are some non-functional requirements - safety, security, reliability, availability, maintainability
