Tools for the New Engineering Game

There is no silver bullet for mastering the challenges outlined in the previous chapters. The best strategy largely depends on your specific business and target market. It is strongly recommended that you have a toolbox filled with principles, patterns, methods, and more to enable you to take the correct action.

Processes do not work well on the new engineering playing field. They can only cover known events and scenarios. However, the unknown is now the order of the day.

This chapter provides a toolbox for the systems engineering organization and people to master the challenges of digitalization.

The first section focuses on organizational aspects, while the second section focuses on tools for engineering tasks.

In the first section, Conway's Turtles and Rabbits, you learn about the high-level strategy Turtle and Rabbit of Conway's Law (see Conway's Law from Chapter 3, The Context of the New Engineering Game).
