Better team communication with glossaries: Overcoming the 5 biggest obstacles
Communication in a team is more important than ever. A glossary can help. Semiant is a tool that makes this possible.
What is semantic versioning and does it also work for systems?
Semantic versioning has made component-based software development possible. Perhaps in systems engineering too?
Fun for better communication in systems engineering
Communication in systems engineering is essential in order to cope with the challenges posed by increasing complexity. This applies to communication within the team as well as the communication of SE (training, presentations) and the exchange with others outside the daily environment. Ideally with a little (or a lot) of fun. In this guest article, Klaus describes...
Internal and external communication in systems engineering
There is no question that communication is important in systems engineering. Due to increasing complexity, the topic has also become very important. This is about the direction in which communication is directed and which aspects need to be considered.
Why written text is more important than ever
The possibilities of modern communication are almost limitless. Alongside real-time video, jamboards, voice messages and many other possibilities, the written word seems almost quaint. But if we take a closer look, we realize that written text has not lost any of its importance. And not only that: although many types of digital communication have increased during the pandemic, the written word has...
Doing instead of talking: The Day of Systems Engineering (TdSE) 2021
Like last year, the Day of Systems Engineering (TdSE) 2021 will only take place virtually this time. Even though we will all miss the personal exchange, this will at least lower the barriers to participation: no traveling, a reasonable price, especially for students. We have an acute shortage in Systems Engineering, so we are in urgent need of...
Prostep ivip Symposium: Collaboration in Systems Engineering
Yesterday, on September 2, 2020, the Prostep ivip Symposium took place, one of the first conferences I have attended since Covid-19. Of course, I attended virtually. As always, there were many exciting and inspiring presentations. I would like to give a brief impression of the event and will summarize an interesting presentation by Peter Gerber for SE-Trends, "Collaborative...
Poll result: Which problem does SysML solve?
For a few weeks there was a survey on SE-Trends: What problem does SysML solve for you? 89 readers took part in the survey, and I will share the results below. By the way, there is currently another survey on the topic of traceability (in the sidebar of SE-Trends). Again, I will share the results in a few weeks...
Give and take: The 9 stakeholders of the system architect
System architects control the important interface to the stakeholders and are responsible for communicating with them.
5 ways to shorten development cycles
The waterfall no longer exists. Today, development takes place iteratively. Here are 5 ways to shorten development cycles.
How modeling enables agile system development
Two years ago, I wrote here that agile system development has been practised for almost 50 years. Nevertheless, many people still find it difficult to put it into practice. There are many reasons for this: For example, many of the relevant standards are not necessarily written in an agile-friendly way. Furthermore, dealing with changes is still a challenge; however, changes are...
6 Aspects for internal and external communication in SE
Poor communication is often a reason for inefficiencies. These 6 aspects help to optimize communication.
