    • SEH provides descriptions of each process activity within the context of product design, needed performance, and life cycle considerations

    Technical Processes (Summary)

    • 14 Technical Processes are summarized
    • Business/Mission Analysis, Stakeholder Needs, Requirements Definition, System Requirements, and Architecture Definition are among the process
    • Design Definition, System Analysis, Implementation, Integration, Verification, Transition, Validation, Operation, Maintenance, and Disposal are among the processes

    System Life Cycle Stages

    • System Life Cycle includes various stages, like Concept, Development, Production, Utilization, Support, and Retirement
    • It is important to understand how these stages relate to IV&V processes and activities.

    INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook (SEH)

    • A guide for System Life Cycle Processes and Activities.
    • The objective of the INCOSE International Council on Systems Engineering Handbook is to describe key process activities, performed by Systems Engineers

    Systems Life Cycle Stages (ISO/IEC 15288)

    • The life cycle includes Concept, Development, Production, Utilization, Support, and Retirement stages.

    Implementation Technical Processes

    • The process of assembling system elements (hardware, software, and operational resources) to compose the system of interest (SOI).
    • Verification of correctness of the static and dynamic aspects of interfaces between implemented system elements is a critical aspect.
    • This entails ensuring intended operation and interoperability with other systems.
    • The objective is to create or adapt hardware or physical components and software code.

    Integration Technical Processes

    • This process synthesizes system elements to create a realized system (a product or service).
    • It focuses on the interfaces between elements to meet system requirements and architecture designs.
    • There is iterative interaction with Verification & Validation processes.
    • The process ensures correct functionality, performance, and design requirements are met at each system boundary.

    Verification Technical Processes

    • The process provides evidence that a system or component meets required characteristics and requirements.
    • Verification techniques may vary, including inspection (human senses, non-destructive checks), analysis (using logic or modeling), demonstration (showing systems functionality under controlled conditions), tests (quantitative measures), and analogy (using similar systems for guidance).
    • The process is a critical part of system development and is used in each stage of the system development

    Validation Technical Processes

    • Validation is used to verify that a system meets stakeholder needs.
    • Validation may utilize techniques similar to verification, with specific consideration for actual use cases.
    • Validation actions involve applying various techniques on system elements to verify the obtained result against expected results to judge acceptability in a use context.

    Operations, Maintenance, Disposal and Other Technical Processes

    • Operations: Sustaining required services by preparing, supplying, and managing performance of the system
    • Maintenance: Sustaining system capabilities, including corrective, preventive actions.
    • Disposal: Ending a system's existence and handling related elements appropriately.
    • Includes considerations during system design, environmental controls, and documentation.
    • Other essential technical processes such as Transition, Acceptance, and Certification are included in the course

    Other Information

    • Many aspects of systems management are discussed in the course material.
