San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) presents a one-day comprehensive tutorial on +---------------------------------------------+ | Systems Requirements Analysis | | by | | Jeffrey O. Grady, JOG System Engineering | | | | | | Saturday, November 4, 1995 | | at San Jose State University | +---------------------------------------------+ Tutorial Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level of instruction: Beginning to advanced, but focused more on the beginning to intermediate level This tutorial stresses the need for logical continuity in the development downstroke from the customer need throughout all aspects of the product development process and documentation. Requirements provide the glue that bonds together an organized process of decomposing large problems into a series of related smaller ones that can be attacked by relatively small cross-functional teams. This decomposition process also is motivated by human limitations and our ever expanding knowledge base. The resultant need for specialization brings with it a compensating need for integration and an organized environment within which requirements play a key role. The tutorial presents new ideas in requirements analysis, including the forked V development model, and a comprehensive HW/SW, product/process, development/product require-ments taxonomy. Topics will include: o Introduction and development environments o The need, operations and mission analysis, and trades o Grand system and hardware structured analysis o Product architecture synthesis and interface development o Performance requirements analysis and constraints analysis o Computer software structured analysis (data, process, and object orientation ) o Requirements traceability, flowdown, quantification, margin and budget management o Applicable documents, law, and regulation o Requirements integration, verification, and management o Computer tools and environments Each attendee will receive a printed copy of the course material.
