Webinar - Streamlining Engineering Complexity with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management
While the engineered systems are becoming more complex, engineering practices are somewhat left behind based on “document centric” non-digitized practices, where lifecycle activities and disciplines are data silos.
In this webinar we describe how a fully digitized systems engineering process enables the primary objectives of engineering projects: Increasing speed of delivery and innovation, ensuring quality, reducing costs, and demonstrating compliance. We will illustrate how the above foundations are leveraged throughout a systems engineering process, and includes in-process quality, stakeholders visibility and viewpoints for high velocity, full change control and audit trail for effective demonstration of compliance.
We will demonstrate how IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) establishes a holistic digital engineering process, from stakeholder requirements through implementation, based on the following foundations:
- Digital connectivity across all lifecycle artifacts to insure data consistency and traceability compliance
- Model based system design for early functional and architectural verification
- Agile enactment across the entire systems engineering process
- Cross lifecycle digital viewpoints and reporting for full visibility and decision support to all stakeholders
- Fostering reuse across projects and programs for highly effective engineering
