Systems Engineering Capability Model
Including all activities that associate with or enable systems engineering, this Standard's purpose is to support the development and improvement of systems engineering capability.
TABLE OF CONTENTS Systems Engineering Capability Model
Chapter 5: Focus Areas
This section defines each of the nineteen Focus Areas, grouped into three categories, which comprise the EIA SECM. Each FA segment consists of a general description of the FA. The practices within each FA are organized into five levels of systems engineering capability; a sixth, and lowest, level of capability is a default level that contains no questions.
The numbering of each FA indicates the Category to which it belongs, as follows:
TC 1.0: Systems Engineering Technical Category
FA 1.1: Define Stakeholder and System Level Requirements
A Focus Area for the Systems Engineering Technical Category
Description:
Define Stakeholder and System Level Requirements produces a validated set of system-level requirements (technical, support, interface) which reflect stakeholder needs and expectations. To accomplish this purpose, the Focus Area includes collection and coordination of stakeholder needs, development of an operational concept, and analysis of needs and requirements. These practices are supported by definition of alternative and preferred system concepts developed in FA 1.3 - Define Solution.
Stakeholders include customer/users, developers, producers, testers, suppliers, marketers, maintainers, disposers and others who may be affected by, or may affect, the system or product. Needs and expectations are elicited, stimulated, analyzed, and communicated to obtain the system technical requirements which constitute a common, quantitative, understanding of what will satisfy all stakeholders. Define Stakeholder and System Level Requirements includes engaging all stakeholders in an ongoing dialogue to translate needs and expectations into a concept of operations, system concept and a verifiable set of requirements, technological limitations, cost drivers,...
