This page contains a link to the evolving MBSE Adoption Guide, following the communication from Julian Johnson to the team in email 15/9/2016, and the step to move evolution of the content to an evolving Guide on the Wiki, rather than in offline materials. This was in light of the experimentation of the use of the UK Wiki to elaborate an Omega Guide (aka 'how to do MBSE'), as a complement to the discussions on the MBSE.org Forum.

Contents

Objectives

We note that in the minutes to the MBSE WG meeting, 02/09/2014, which was when it was posed to the Council to start work on an 'Omega Guide', it was phrased as a "How to do MBSE" Guide. link here

The Adoption Guide will not focus on the business case for adoption of MBSE, since there is a parallel sub-group activity MBSE Value. However there will be some mention of reasons for adoption of MBSE under the 'why?' questions.

Team

The Omega Guide team currently comprises the following members:

Member Organisation Role
Julian Johnson Holistem Lead Author
Ian Clark MBDA Member
Robin Nickless AWE Member
Ali Parandeh Atkins Member
Jan Rapacz Dassault Systèmes Member
James Towers Scarecrow Consultants Member

Work

TeamStorming February 2015

The working group held a "TeamStorming" session during the February 2015 meeting in order to explore the question "What should the new omega guide be about?" The outputs from that session can be found below:

A summary of the particular relevance of these outputs to content of the Guide, for convenience, is shown below:

Item Content summary Relevance to Guide content
TeamStorming Overview 16 pp, mostly photos of what should guide be about (concept map), empathy analysis (hearing, seeing, feeling, seeing) for stakeholders (author, publisher, reviewer, user); storyboards. yes, at meta-level: content must address scope and objectives, must be usable, inform audience, give practical guidance to deliver value.
User Empathy Map 2 pp Yes, in some aspects: real-world examples, links to other info/help. Otherwise it is a useful list of characteristics that content should exhibit.
Reviewer ensures appropriate Content scenario 4 pp, reviewer storyboard, beaver / monkey analysis No: more useful for how to run the reviewing process effectively.
Author delivering Practical Guidance Scenario 1 table, 2 figs, author storyboard yes, at meta-level (fine aim, understand need, understand stakeholders): no direct info about suggested content.
Practical Guidance to User Scenario 1 table, user scenario, spanners and responses to combat spanners. yes, at meta-level (not enough info, I don't believe the claims): no direct info about suggested content.
Publihser (sic) delivering Value Scenario storyboard, beavers and spanners yes, at meta-level (inconsistent with INCOSE WG, insufficient scope, lacks innovation...): no direct info about suggested content.

Status Reports

Omega Team Reference material (source)

The majority of the older material is actually on Alex's mbse.org site, specifically at this link, for those registered for the site:

A summary of the material and discussions on that forum appears in the table below, for easy reference. Any items which are explicit about potential content (as distinct to characteristics it should exhibit, like useability, credibility, etc.), are highlighted in bold. If there are significant points missing, please edit this page and its table content to correct.

Date created Topic title Content summary, especially if relevant to content
5/5/2015 Summary of Omega Men Session at WG Meeting 23/04/15 Notes of meeting. Diagram of aim or post guide awareness: pre-Guide vs post-Guide awareness, both axes competency levels.

Thoughts about guide contents: case studies, languages, applicability of MBSE to specific project. Reference to how aligned with ISO 15288.

16/7/2015 Moving Forward Discussions: refinement to above framework, competency, UKSPEC (yes, no), that MBSE is ‘not new’, stakeholders (inc system engineer, engineering manager) and use case diagram.
21/10/2015 2015 10 20 Omega Group mtg Bham Notes of meeting. Emergence of the Why / when / where / who / how structure, MBSE vs 15288 outcomes, other stakeholders?, reference to PM and RACI framework, benefits and challenges.
7/11/2015 MBSE Question Summary of the 6 questions from Engineer / Eng Manager perspectives, suggestion common questions vs any stakeholder, pointer to OmegaProgress slideset at ASEC (inc slide 9 “how you can contribute”: 3 questions to MBSE WG participants), details of one response to presentation (8 paras), paraphrase of response from JJ “good points, apparently confusion over stakeholders?”, incorporate MBSE during bid phase.

Note that there are also potential content suggestions summarised in MBSE_Omega_Guide, from the Teamstorming session, (see summary table) again highlighted in bold.
