Deploying MBSE Successfully Applying our principles to improve the journey

Classic Errors in Deploying MBSE • Starting too big • Overpromise and under deliver • Trigger the organizational immune response • Starting too small • “Toy problem” that doesn’t translate • Lack of corporate investment / top cover • Keeping up with the Joneses • “That approach worked for them so clearly it will work for us” • Chasing standards • “What I need is a little…” • Thinking it’s a tool (or a technical) issue • Technology, process, culture, and more • Settling for diagram-based SE • Drawing pictures without coherence and connectivity • Treating modeling as a separate practice, role, or discipline • “My systems engineers will do the architecture / engineering and my modelers will model / capture” • Focusing on the MB rather than the SE • Modeling for modeling sake – too much, too deep, the wrong stuff • Begin with the end in mind
