Agile Systems Engineering Workshop with MBSE and SysML Training by Tonex
Agile Systems Engineering Workshop with MBSE and SysML is a 3-day innovative workshop with a vision of combining Agile, modern systems engineering , MBSE and SysML. Participants will learn how to work high level users and customers need, create use cases, model system specification, model requirements, structure, behavior and traceability. Non-functional requirements such as usability, safety, security, reliability, and performance of systems are also discussed in an agile engineering context with MBSE and SysML.
The workshop incorporates agile methodologies, system thinking, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and System Modelling Language (SysML) to define the properties of a complex system throughout s the lifecycle of systems development, including ConOps, use cases, requirements, analysis, architecture design, verification, validation, operation, maintenance and sustainability.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this hands-on course, the participants will:
- Learn about the general concepts of systems engineering
- Discuss the general systems engineering process components and their relationships with each other.
- Learn the key similarities and difference between traditional systems engineering, MBSE and Agile
- Conduct the practices of Agile system requirements analysis, physical solution development, logical candidate solution development, trade-off studies evaluation, and design iteration
- Discuss the principles and key approaches of engineering management in a systems project framework
- Describe how MBSE and SysML language and diagrams/models are related to Agile
- Analyze and create SysML diagrams for a complex spacecraft system and system of Systems (SoS) development, engineering project or mission
- Learn how to create models in a SysML including packages, requirements, structure, behavior and parametrics diagrams and constructs,
- Develop SysML activity models that are executable
- Analyze and construct SysML models with calculations and execute parametric simulations.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is designed for systems engineers, hardware, software and firmware design engineers, software developers, system and software architect, modelers, managers, and employees with little or no Agile, MBSE and SysML experience. Tonex is the industry leader in Agile systems engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and SysML and has extensive in space application and systems engineering architecting and modeling.
METHOD OF LEARNING
The class consists of theory and practical workshops creating SysML diagrams using Modelio open source tool.
