Summary

This chapter has considered, at a very high level, the management processes that are demanded by the ISO 15288 standard. It should be very clear by now that almost all of the information required to satisfy ISO 15288 is already contained in the model.

The main aim here is to show how the model views that we have been creating and discussing throughout this book may be used to help define the approach for MBSE in terms of the processes that are specified in the standard. The more that we can reuse these views, the more value we can demonstrate from each view.

Remember that MBSE is an approach, and the heart of this approach comprises the process set and the framework. Both of these have already been defined in a rigorous fashion by modeling, as has been demonstrated throughout this book.

The next chapter looks at some specific examples of methodologies that may be useful for MBSE activities.
