Welcome to the SOuthern ARizona (SOARizona) INCOSE chapter website. The chapter is centered in Tucson, Arizona. Anyone whose interests intersect with the profession of Systems Engineering is welcome to participate. This includes those in the profession of Project Management for engineering content as described on the wiki for the Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK). Get involved with the chapter through chapter meetings, speaker series, working groups, conferences, the U of A, and support to pre-college development of interest in Systems Engineering. SOARizona is also actively engaged with mentoring in the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona.
The SOARizona Chapter is a not-for-profit membership organization founded to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems.
To share, promote and advance the best of systems engineering from across the globe for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

Abstract: This brief will introduce to the community the INCOSE Guide to Verification and Validation, a work-in-progress of the INCOSE Requirements Working Group (RWG). The context of the Guide with respect to the other RWG documents under development will be shared. These other documents are the forthcoming Guide to Managing Requirements (GMR), and the Needs and Requirements Lifecycle Manual (NRLM). A very top-level table of contents of the Guide to V&V will be presented, along with a timeframe for completion and release. The attendee will leave with an understanding of what documents are in-process from the RWG, how they will eventually all fit together, and an approximate timeline for their release to the INCOSE community.
Bio: Raymond currently works as a Systems Engineer on several programs at Sandia National Laboratories. He has experience on many types of projects - from software development work to multi-year defense programs. Currently he performs system engineering, requirements development and qualification engineering for several development products. He has also performed requirements engineering and management, safety engineering, and verification strategy implementation. Before joining Sandia he worked at the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) San Diego (formerly SPAWAR). There, he matured requirements for several programs, performed R&D, and supported acquisition for several ship-board technology upgrades. His interests include using MBSE to improve requirements analysis, and overall SE process improvement. He has presented at several INCOSE conferences.
