Scrum Guide and Expansion Pack: Relevance and limits in systems engineering
There is now also an Expansion Pack for the Scrum Guide, which is relevant for Systems Engineering and Product Velocity.
MBSE Summit: How AI can increase the acceptance of MBSE
At this year's MBSE Summit, I moderated a breakout session on the question of how AI can increase the acceptance of MBSE.
Student wanted: Implementing open-source quality rules
We are looking for a student to implement open-source quality rules for requirements - as a Bachelor's or Master's thesis
Review: INCOSE guide for writing requirements
The INCOSE guide for writing requirements helps with the description of complex systems.
The advantages of controlled vocabulary in numbers
Word has long since gotten around that in systems engineering we should not just start writing. Instead, we should control the language. The vocabulary to be used is an important aspect that can be easily controlled. I recently came across a study that deals with precisely this topic, the effects of controlled vocabulary in systems engineering.
Requirement check everywhere with one click
There are now more and more tools for checking requirements - I recently mentioned the open source library Vale. As a by-product of a customer project, I have developed a simple Vale-based quality check. You can now activate it anywhere with one click via a web browser extension. It works in Confluence, Jama or Polarion. Which rules are supported and how...
5 possibilities for automation in requirements management with AI
Even if AI - Artificial Intelligence - is a platitudinous term, AI is undoubtedly finding its way into systems engineering. AI is generally about the automation of intelligent behavior. The important keyword is "automation". AI enables a degree of automation that would not have been possible even five years ago. For requirements management, this means that...
3 approaches to processing natural language requirements automatically
Model-based system descriptions are useful, but almost all developments start with requirements in human language. This will not change any time soon, because systems are developed for people. After all, we think in natural language (and images). However, natural language cannot be processed automatically without further ado, but especially with increasing complexity this would be...
ISO 9001 - The ISO bestseller
ISO 9001 deals with the principles of quality management and is one of the most important standards.
How to deal with standards and norms?
Standards play an important role in product development. This is particularly the case when it comes to functional safety. But even without safety aspects, standards must be complied with, which is required by the client or legislator depending on the system and industry. The increasing complexity in systems engineering also has very specific effects on the use of...
Recalls for medical devices - a quality problem
When it comes to functional safety systems, quality is critical: not only are high investments at stake, but also danger to life and limb. Furthermore, such an incident can jeopardize the existence of a company. Increasing complexity in systems leads to increasing quality problems. To name just one example: The number of recalls of...
Why non-functional requirements are becoming increasingly important
If a system does not fulfill its function, we have a serious problem: what would a music player be that does not play music? But there are also many requirements that have nothing directly to do with the function of the system. And these are becoming increasingly important.
