A breakdown of the roles associated with modelling on a project or within a business. These roles, whilst they may align with existing systems engineering roles, are defined specifically to the modelling involvement on a project and can be flexed to fit with whatever approach is being taken across the whole engineering effort.

[edit] Review of INCOSE competency framework

MBSE is considered as a cross cutting technique as defined in the systems engineering handbook. We need to understand what each of the competencies in the INCOSE competency framework (reference needed) means in the context of MBSE.


Here follows a model defining the terms as used in the ISECF v1.

And the description field also includes some ideas of why the various parts of the competency exist:

Modelling

System Analysis

And from the why it matters section

Next we need to look at the competency indicators, effectively what is a person required to demonstrate in order to attain a the levels. Firstly Awareness.

Competence Indicators-Awareness.jpg

The remaining levels will follow along with the linked indicators (those where they build on an earlier indicator rather than introducing something new)

Initial questions: - To where does Systems analysis provide the data/information? - Systems analysis appears to be almost an afterthought in this competence - Systems analysis is not necessarily the only process to which modelling could be applied. - How does this definition of Systems Analysis match up against he definition given in the SE handbook? - the requirements from the "why it matters" section are focused on the modelling deliverables, again suggesting that system analysis is an afterthought.
