Jeffrey O. Grady, Instructor

Summary

The three-day course covers four system development fundamentals: (1) a sound engineering management infrastructure within which work may be efficiently accomplished, (2) define the problem to be solved (requirements and specifications), (3) solve the problem (design, integration, and optimization), and (4) prove that the design solves the defined problem (verification). Proven, practical techniques are presented for the key tasks in the development of sound solutions for extremely difficult customer needs.

What You Will Learn

• How to identify and organize all of the work an enterprise must perform on programs, plan a project, map enterprise work capabilities to the plan, and quality audit work performance against the plan.
• How to accomplish structured analysis using one of several structured analysis models yielding every kind of requirement appropriate for every kind of specification coordinated with specification templates.
• An appreciation for design development through original design, COTS, procured items, and selection of parts, materials, and processes.
• How to develop interfaces under associate contracting relationships using ICWG/TIM meetings and Interface Control Documents.
• How to define verification requirements, map and organize them into verification tasks, plan and proceduralize the verification tasks, capture the verification evidence, and audit the evidence for compliance.
