Speed through automation - but the right way!
Automation leads to more speed in development. But it is the 5th step in systematic process improvement.
5 ways to prevent knowledge from being lost in product development
Due to the increasing complexity of products, the handling of knowledge is more important than ever. Here are 5 possible solutions.
Are there alternatives to the "Scientific Method"?
The "scientific method" has been established in research and development for hundreds of years. This refers to a systematic procedure consisting of a few steps that leads to reproducible results. The scientific method is so simple that even children can apply it. It is regularly used not only in research, but also in industrial development.
What actually is SPICE?
If you work in the automotive sector, you will certainly have come across the term "ASPICE". The "A" stands for Automotive, because SPICE is also relevant in other industries. But what exactly is SPICE - and what role does it play in systems engineering? This is the subject of the following.
Transforming processes in systems engineering: 3 examples
All companies, even one-person companies, need processes. Where systems engineering is practiced, these are generally highly mature. Actually, we should think that IT makes processes more efficient. Unfortunately, the opposite is often the case: processes are inefficient and problem areas are difficult to find. A number of companies are in the process of...
5 tips for streamlining processes
Processes are not only important, but are often also specified by standards such as ISO 15288. There is a lot of potential for efficiency here.
Sustainable requirements engineering - a field report
How does efficient product development succeed? In most companies that develop complex products, this can only be achieved through sustainable requirements engineering. Read a case study here to find out how this can be achieved.
IT security: an important but often neglected aspect of software engineering
Headlines about cyber attacks are piling up. IT security is the subject of much discussion. The public debate is still dominated by secure infrastructures and special solutions. However, IT security can usually be implemented more efficiently and cost-effectively in software development, particularly in system design.
Find and eliminate points of friction between tools with the EEE check
The EEE Check is a life hack: How can we streamline our processes without offending the team?
6 practical tips for distributed working in systems engineering
A single source of truth would be nice, but it's often not realistic. This post explores alternatives for distributed work.
Responsibility instead of micromanagement
I have a lot to do with (software) tools in my work. I'm a fan of tools because they can drastically increase productivity if they are used correctly. However, they can also be used incorrectly, as the well-known saying goes: "A fool with a tool is still a fool". But what does "right...
