1. Basic approach
3
The approach
determine what customer wants
decide what to do
get what it takes to do it
do it
check it out
convince customer it’s what he or she wanted
make it happen
1. Basic approach
Approach consists of applying these seven activities to each product in the
system
Approach consists of applying these seven activities to each product in the
system
4
Execution of the approach
Execution of the approach consists of completing a small number of tangible objects called work products (WPs) for each product in the system
1. Basic approach
5
Emphasis on executing the approach
1. Basic approach
Emphasis on executing the approach is on• Wisdom -- we don’t want to do stupid things• Simplicity -- we don’t want to lose the forest
in all the trees
6
Application of the approach
Apply same set of activities to each product in the system
This approach deals with development of products from conception to sell-off
1. Basic approach
7
Reason for the approach (1 of 2)
The approach brings discipline to the development by accommodating all aspects of the product and its life cycle in a way that the product comes together smoothly
Having a disciplined approach to developing products makes cost, schedule, and quality predictable
Having a disciplined approach reduces the likelihood of system failure
1. Basic approach

Reason for the approach (2 of 2)

1. Basic approach
9
Disclaimer for the approach
System engineering is more of an art than a science.
Almost any approach to system engineering will work if someone takes ownership of success
No one approach is better than all the othersThe reasons for applying any system
engineering approach are the same as for the PBDA
1. Basic approach
10
Goal of this course
The goal of this course is to explain one approach for developing systems and to indicate how this approach relates to other approaches.

2. Products
Product definitionProducts composed of productsTypes of productsNeed for productsNeed for lower-level productsExamples
2. Products
12
Product definition (1 of 2)
A product is something produced A product is something we can procure --
hardware, software, data, services.
2. Products
13
Product definition (2 of 2)
Examples • Hardware -- space shuttle, house, circuit
card, resistor• Software -- program, firmware• Data -- documents, work products• Services -- activities
The concept of a product makes explaining system engineering easier.

delivered products
support products
16
Delivered products -- part of the delivered product
Support products -- other products in support of delivered product
Either type of product may be
• Hardware
• Software
• Data
• Service
Types of products (2 of 2)
2. Products
17
Need for products
We need products to describe what we’re controlling
Products may be developed or procured without development
2. Products
18
Need for lower-level products
We need lower-level products if we’re going to procure something needed for doing the development

Develop-phase activities (3 of 4)
Not every product has the same activities• Developing software may not require
acquiring products• Integration or verification may be
deferred to another level• Some products may be so simple that
they don’t require formal management.

37
Application of PBDA (2 of 4)
Sub products usually come from lower products in the hierarchy, but they may come from peer or higher products -- especially when a product is being installed on another product
The customer is usually a higher product but the customer may a peer or lower product. There may also be multiple customer products

Value of PBDA (1 of 3)
Makes explaining system engineering easierHandles systems at all levels• Not just top-level
Handles systems of all sizes• Not just top-level
Handles systems from start-to finish• Not just through development
Handles work products as systems
4. PBDA
41
Value of PBDA (2 of 3)
Handles all developers• Not just government
Handles teaming• Not just one-company
Handles other disciplines • Other disciplines fit in as developers of
products using PBDAReduces the number of types of products
that must be addressed -- with resulting decrease in process costs

The number of WPs can be overwhelming without a method to bring order
43
Definition of work products (WP)
A work product (WP) is a document that is used to control the PBDA
Much of the execution of the PBDA can be thought of as creating and using the associated WPs
Major work products are used for most of the product development
Minor work products are used for the remainder of the development
