Key benefits

  • Learn how Agile and MBSE can work iteratively and collaborate to overcome system complexity
  • Develop essential systems engineering products and achieve crucial enterprise objectives with easy-to-follow recipes
  • Build efficient system engineering models using tried and trusted best practices

Description

Agile MBSE can help organizations manage constant change and uncertainty while continuously ensuring system correctness and meeting customers’ needs. But deploying it isn’t easy. Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook is a little different from other MBSE books out there. This book focuses on workflows – or recipes, as the author calls them – that will help MBSE practitioners and team leaders address practical situations that are part of deploying MBSE as part of an agile development process across the enterprise. Written by Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass, a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through important systems engineering workflows and show you how they can be performed effectively with an agile and model-based approach. You’ll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering, but we won’t linger on the theory for too long. Each of the recipes will take you through initiating a project, defining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, designing system architecture, performing model-based engineering trade studies, all the way to handling systems specifications off to downstream engineering. By the end of this MBSE book, you’ll have learned how to implement critical systems engineering workflows and create verifiably correct systems engineering models.

Who is this book for?

If you are a systems engineer who wants to pursue model-based systems engineering in an agile setting, this book will show you how you can do that without breaking a sweat. Fundamental knowledge of SysML is necessary; the book will teach you the rest.

What you will learn

  • Apply agile methods to develop systems engineering specifications
  • Perform functional analysis with SysML
  • Derive and model systems architectures from key requirements
  • Model crucial engineering data to clarify systems requirements
  • Communicate decisions with downstream subsystem implementation teams
  • Verify specifications with model reviews and simulations
  • Ensure the accuracy of systems models through model-based testing

This book is a must-read for hands-on architects, development managers and engineers who want to apply UML/SysML in a methodical, contemporary and effective manner.It is well organized around workflows that cover the whole development lifecycle (from product planning to validation) and every chapter follows a consistent structure which makes it easier to readers to focus on what is relevant to them. I really liked the "How to do. it..." sections with diagrams that outline the steps of the different workflows and I found the examples to be at just the right level of complexity to understand how to apply this MBSE approach.Another thing that sets this book apart is the coverage of hazards and safety aspects as well as verification and validation described in chapter 5.You can really see that the author is not someone who just speaks about MBSE, but also practices it in the field.

A couple years ago I wrote a Review of Agile Systems Engineering that started with the statement "This is the best book that Bruce has written in his prolific career - or at least it is the one that I like best." That statement is still true, however, the Agile MBSE Cookbook is a very close second. I like and appreciate that Bruce states from the very beginning that the output of a systems engineering effort is not an executable product but a specification. I also like the notion that the specification can have executable elements as part of the model. I spent a lot of time in chapter 2 because other methods focus too much on the object-oriented style and not enough on functional analysis. We get 4 different recipes for functional analysis in the Cookbook. The challenge will of course be to pick the one that is best for whatever we are working on. I have read the book but I can't claim to fully understand it yet. There's enough here to keep me studying for quite a while.If the examples aren't available in your favorite modeling tool, I suggest you take the time to do your own implementation, which is what I am doing. The book is quite tool agnostic.

Many books cover Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), but this one extends the scope of MBSE to other areas that most MBSE practitioners probably don't touch, such as (the elephant in many rooms) deploying MBSE as part of an Agile development process across the enterprise, or leveraging the system models to drive early verification and validation. More on this later.I found it easy to use the book for practical situations, primarily because it is focused on workflows, or as the author calls them - recipes. Each workflow starts with its purpose and then defines its inputs and outputs, how to do it and - where applicable - an actual example. I liked it because it allowed me to focus right away on the workflows where I needed clarity, where other workflows can wait. And in case you want to go deeper, you can even download the example models. I didn't have a need for this (yet) as the examples are well explained throughout the book, with plenty of screenshots. And as the author has a deep experience with the IBM MBSE tool, and the reviewer has a deep experience with the Dassault MBSE tool, the book is useful regardless of your favorite MBSE tool!I also liked the fact that the book addresses the needs of several types of engineers (or, as often is the case - engineers wearing multiple hats). It covers the application of Agile across the enterprise as an integral part of MBSE, from managing backlogs, to Agile planning, to prioritization, to release planning, product roadmaps and even effective reviews and walk-throughs. These are topics that many systems engineers, especially in industries such as A&D and Automotive, never learned back in Engineering school.I found the chapter on Functional analysis, or what some may call Logical models, very interesting. The workflows in the book lead you to modeling that is an elaboration on the requirements with scenarios, activities, state machines or even user stories, resulting in models that while they are design independent, they are also executable. This allows you to analyze the requirements for their correctness, completeness, safety and security.Other workflows address the more common aspects of Systems Engineering, such as Architectural Design going down to Detailed Design, leveraging patterns, abstraction layers, etc. However, the book does not assume that a System always ends up in software (like in a SysML to UML transition). It addresses the workflows for the creation of a deployment architecture and interdisciplinary interfaces that enable a handoff to downstream engineering in multiple domains, such as electrical, mechanical, etc. in addition to software.Another set of workflows that describe "cool ideas" that only now are starting to be deployed as part of MBSE around leveraging MBSE for early Verification and Validation on one hand, and on the other hand to be used as a reference, and on the other other hand as a test driver for the actual product. The book takes you through all the steps, from identifying the system under test (aka SUT), to the test architecture, test cases, test coverage and even test-driven modeling. These too are subjects that many of us did not learn back at school, and if we did, it was nothing more than just being mentioned in class. The screenshots in the book make all of these concepts very concrete.And if you are a cyclist, you are already ahead of those who aren't, because the example used throughout the book is a Pegasus bike trainer... actually, a very cool example, easy to understand, not too complex, but not trivial either.I highly recommend this book, especially if you are an MBSE practitioner, or managing teams of MBSE practitioners.

I greatly enjoy the book's approach and its format. Bruce organizes the book into chapters, each of which is focused on a particular aspect of the MBSE workflow. Each chapter includes a number of topics, for example "Subsystem and component architecture". For each topic, he shows "how to do it" and includes a supporting example. I find that this approach facilitates understanding and adoption.I've used many of Bruce's other resources -- books, his Agile MBSE Deskbook, his published-out Harmony aMBSE content, and numerous presentations from his website -- as resources during my continuing journey toward MBSE competence. This new book is going to see a lot of use by me!

** Reviewing this from my family account; was provided a free copy for review **I have been an MBSE practitioner for 10 years on multiple projects in the space industry for both crewed and uncrewed systems. I've also experienced some combination of agile approaches applied to a systems engineering team that leveraged models.Reading Bruce's book is much like having a beer with another expert and going through a variety of high-quality practices. One of the tip-offs that he knows what he is doing is the discussion on engineering facets, which are his way of accounting for the many engineering disciplines required to realize a modern system. In other cycles spent on the same problem, I've seen these called aspects or traits. When I see that someone has truly grappled with the multidisciplinary nature of modern systems, this raises confidence greatly.Another big part of the book I resonate with is the need to elevate the SE practice beyond the shall statement and take advantage of modeling capability to build a richer specification. Those of us working mission-oriented systems rather than the consumer system given as an example may need to augment the use case methodology, but the book provides more than enough fodder to support this adjustment.Since the book speaks to applying models to engineering practice (it is organized by the typical purpose -> logical architecture -> physical architecture and design -> test progress) I would recommend it for those already at least somewhat conversant with the SysML language. In fact, for those who have recently finished off Steiner-Friedenthal-Moore or Delligatti SysML books, this is an excellent companion for the "now what do we *do* with all this?" question.I certainly intend to keep my copy of this book handy when I'm working up a modeling plan and want to cross-check steps for validation or looking for a possible tweak on approaches that may improve my outcomes.
