Systems Engineering Process


A comprehensive, iterative problem solving process that is used to: (a) transform validated customer needs and requirements into a life-cycle balanced solution set of system product and process designs, (b) generate information for decision makers, and (c) provide information for the next acquisition phase. The problem and success criteria are defined through requirements analysis, functional analysis/allocation, and systems analysis and control. Alternative solutions, evaluation of those alternatives, selection of the best life-cycle balanced solution, and the description of the solution through the design package are accomplished through synthesis and systems analysis and control. [MIL-STD 499B]

Editorial Reviews
Book News, Inc.
The Capability Maturity Model (CMM), managed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon U., is a widely adopted set of guidelines for software process improvement and assessment. As one of the main architects behind the transition from ISO 9000 to CMM (details appended), the author shows how these processes relate to the Key Process Areas of the CMM. -- Copyright © 2000 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved


Reviewed by venkatachalam. V from India
Many times specifications and standards leave you a little confused. Here is a book that tells you all about the CMM model, based on the practices in an organization that is assessed at Level-4 in the model (the organization, Infosys, is assessed at Level-5 just when this book is released). The organization of the book in 3 parts in terms of Project Initiation, Project Planning and Project Execution is extremely logical and reflects the flow of a project in an organization.
