Study Notes
- The INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook serves as a reference for organizations not following ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 or the SEBoK for SE practices and methods.
- The handbook covers an informative life cycle model with six stages: concept, development, production, utilization, support, and retirement.
- ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 identifies four process groups: technical processes, technical management processes, agreement processes, and organizational project-enabling processes.
- Technical processes include activities such as business or mission analysis, system requirements definition, and configuration management.
- Technical management processes include project planning, project assessment and control, and risk management.
- Agreement processes include acquisition and supply.
- Organizational project-enabling processes include life cycle model management, human resource management, and quality management.
- The handbook also covers crosscutting systems engineering methods and specialty engineering activities.
- Each process is described using an input-process-output (IPO) diagram.
- The handbook provides references, acronyms, a glossary, an N2 diagram of the SE processes, a master list of inputs/outputs, and an acknowledgement of contributors.
- Errors and omissions can be reported using the comment form in Appendix G.
- The common format applied in Chapters 4 through 7 includes an IPO diagram for each SE process.
