Adaptations to the systems engineering management process for projects with incomplete requirements

摘要

Ten adaptations to the traditional practice of systems engineering management are presented. Although they may require innovation, such adaptations are not without precedent since similar innovations have been implemented to assure that safety is achieved in manned space systems. The role of requirements in traditional systems engineering management projects is discussed. Systems that resist requirements definition and adaptations to management practices that reduce dependence on requirements are also discussed.
