Orlando Chapter

Welcome to the INCOSE-Orlando Chapter!

The mission of the Orlando chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is to drive success in engineering programs for engineering organizations in industry, academia, and government and drive up the capabilities of its professionals including top executives and practicing engineers.

We host monthly presentations offering a topic that supports the goals for acquiring dramatic speed, precision, interoperability, and innovation using systems engineering and other practices.

Our Chapter Presentations are open to the professional community in Central Florida (with RSVP). The event begins with a free buffet dinner as a courtesy to our guests and members followed by one or two presenters who represent local organizations. The goal is to share knowledge, techniques, and success stories to drive improvement in product delivery throughout our community.

Our meetings occur on the second Thursday of the month starting at 5:30pm at Rocket Technology HQ, which houses our INCOSE-Orlando office, at 13501 Ingenuity Drive, Suite 232, Orlando, Florida 32826.

About the Presentation:
Requirements Management: Traceability and External Compliance Documentation For large scale projects, having thousands of requirements and document deliverables can be highly taxing on a project team’s resources. One way of keeping requirements manageable is by using a requirements traceability software. While it’s common to keep the requirements set completely within the traceability software, it’s often overlooked how useful it can be to orient the model to prepare for external compliance documentation. This session will dive into methods for setting up a model within a traceability software that not only follows traditional requirements traceability; but ensures that external compliance documentation can be generated from a single source of truth. The session will also dive into topics regarding the integration of various sources of requirements (such as specifications, industry standards, Hazard Analyses, and Failure Mode and Effects Analyses), tracking verification items and evidence items as well as setting up this data for generating customizable external compliance documentation that can meet your client’s deliverable needs.
About the Presenter:
Sara Wertanen, MSEM, PMP, EI, is a Senior Systems Engineer in the Aerospace sector specializing in Requirements Management and Traceability. Sara’s career spans multiple industries including Transportation Systems Engineering, Themed Entertainment Ride Systems Engineering, and Space Systems. Sara’s affinity for project management and systems engineering lead her to become an advocate for Requirements Traceability Software utilization to ensure that the highest level of accuracy, efficiency, and compliance are applied throughout the project’s lifecycle. Her approach to successfully using traceability software on projects of various sizes has shown that, with proper planning and technique, documenting full project traceability from requirement source to evidence can be a resource- and cost-saving methodology.
Practical SE Series: 7:30
Following the featured presentation we will have a brief tutorial with prescriptive guidance for writing technical risks.

SimSummit2024

Florida Simulation Summit - April 25, 2024

Now in its ninth year, and for the first time in history, we have broadened our partnership to encompass Seminole and Osceola counties. Themed “Transforming Healthcare Through Intelligent Technologies,” this summit will provide a dynamic and immersive experience bringing together leaders, innovators, and experts. The event will feature engaging panel discussions addressing topics related to predictive intelligence for pandemic prevention; behavioral wellness and cognitive performance; sports medicine and the human experience; artificial intelligence- and simulation-use cases in medical tourism — and the impact of artificial-intelligence and machine-learning technologies transforming our tri-county region. This is an opportunity for vendors to showcase their cutting-edge technologies.
