Overview and the 6 W's

The current active thinking of the MBSE Adoption Guide structure is that it is based on 6 key questions, and from the perspectives of at least two stakeholders with respect to MBSE:

• An individual systems engineer;
• An engineering manager (with responsibility for a project, or organisational unit / department / function).

Current generic questions are proposed to be (JJ - have deliberately re-ordered to bring Why to top):

1. Why should I adopt MBSE?
2. What does MBSE mean for my role?
3. Where (activity area, disciplines level of decomp) do I employ MBSE?
4. When (temporal e.g. life cycle phase, criteria) should MBSE be employed?
5. Who else needs to participate in, or will be impacted by the use of, MBSE activities?
6. How do I make use of MBSE on my project?

A graphic illustrating this outline is available on the MBSE.org site here: 6-questions poster draft

So what we see below are two subsections, for each of these two primary roles, and with an elaborated response for each of the 6 questions, for each role.
