Requirements Management
Man Plus Machine: IBM Bringing AI to Requirements Management
As today’s systems engineers are faced with an overflow of data and a significant increase in the complexity of systems, IBM is bringing the power of Watson Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help address the need for getting requirements right the first time. Currently in beta, this move will allow engineers to improve their requirements definition […]
Unlock the cloud for requirements management
Unlock the cloud for requirements management Poor requirements management is among the significant contributing factors in the failure of a project. Improper requirements management can lead to disconnected teams, wasted time, out-of-control costs and unsatisfied customers. If you use documents, spreadsheets, emails, wikis and other conventional office and productivity tools to keep track of your […]
Automotive IBV report: Opening the garage door
As customer expectations evolve, automotive leaders must offer more than just vehicles. By providing comprehensive digital in-vehicle services, automotive leaders have an unprecedented opportunity to interact more closely with customers. This in turn means they can better understand consumer demands, and offer requirements-driven services that engender customer loyalty. In response to the changing automotive landscape, vehicle manufacturers […]
Three systems engineering takeaways from INCOSE 2018
Three systems engineering takeaways from INCOSE 2018 Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to attend the 28th Annual INCOSE International Symposium in Washington, DC. As the largest worldwide event for systems engineers consisting of presentations, workshops, panel discussions and more, it was a fascinating mix of organizations, engineers, universities and government agencies – all […]
Can intelligent IoT help you to reinvent your enterprise?
Can intelligent IoT help you to reinvent your enterprise? As virtually everything becomes connected and data proliferates, Industrial Products companies are exploring how the Internet of Things (IoT) can help them to optimize production operations and plant efficiency, improve worker safety and environmental compliance and drive the shift to data-enabled services and customer-centricity. The IBM […]
Managing Engineering Complexity: Are you ready?
Connected – This is one of the defining words of our world today. We have never been more connected – from the devices we wear on our bodies, to our cars and houses, to the manufacturers who build our things and, lastly, to the outer world where we get to experience the fruits of our […]
The cost of failing to plan – why IoT requirements management matters
Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”. Some 200 years later and that’s never been more true. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects humans and ‘things’, creating better user experiences and greater customer delight. It also brings along the need to manage the requirements that define […]
Part 3: Developing IoT-enabled autos: a tsunami of change and the journey to cognitive
In my series on IoT-enabled autos, we’ve already recognized the emergence of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and the wisdom of using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in modern engineering practices. In part three of my series highlighting the ways that automotive product engineering is evolving, we’ll examine the promise of cognitive systems. It’s the final […]
