“Model-Based Systems Engineering” is…

• INCOSE: “the formalized application of modeling to support system

requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation activities

beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout

development and later life cycle phases.”

• SysML.org: “a Systems Engineering process paradigm that emphasizes

the application of rigorous architecture modeling principles and best

practices to Systems Engineering activities throughout the System

Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Practical Challenges in Adopting MBSE/MBE


Experienced Workforce:

• Franchise programs

• Mission understanding

• System / product knowledge

• Customer intimacy

MBSE Challenges:

• Legacy SE skills and processes

• Lack of practical knowledge in MBSE

• Culture… adverse to change

• “This has always been how we do things”

• “We have deadlines to make”

• “Your tool doesn’t work!”

“MBSE… what does it do for you?...”

Organizational dichotomy…

• Early architecture decisions, reduced risks, and collapsed cycle time

• Deeper insights and improved acquisition decisions

External/customer collaborations


A Few Lessons from Early Experience…

• An overarching architectural vision is important

– Communications of vision and roadmap

– Prioritization of development, guideline for investment

• People is key… the right people

– Requires believers / leaders / champions at all levels

• Management buy-in is critical…

– But they are hard to convince: ROI?

• Culture… is the hardest problem to tackle

– No “silver bullets”

• Be resilient… stick with the vision, work your way through problems and reinvent on the way

– Incremental implementation: crawl-walk-run

– Small pilots lead to small successes



It’s an Ongoing Journey…

• Digital Engineering transformation is an enterprise-level, multipronged endeavor

– Technology and infrastructure

– Processes & methods

– People & culture

• The journey continues…
