Chapter 9: Methodologies
This chapter describes two widely used methodologies that may be applied in systems engineering and are used in modern industry.
Industry methodologies adopt standard, established life cycle approaches, such as linear, incremental, and iterative, which were discussed in Chapter 4, Life Cycles. In this chapter, we shall consider two of these methodologies: the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and the Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Methodology (OOSEM). Each was selected based on its different yet complementary approaches and the different practices that they advocate.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Methodologies, where we will briefly discuss methodologies and how they apply to systems engineering
- SAFe, which is an agile, iterative, and incremental framework
- OOSEM, which may be applied to traditional linear approaches but also agile, linear, incremental, and iterative approaches
- Methodologies and MBSE, where we...
