Workshop: CASA – The Home for Excellent Systems Architects and Excellent Systems Engineers!
10:30 – 12:00
Abstract
Systems Engineering exists already some 3/4 of a century.
We all know that over the years systems became more and more complex due to its, both transdisciplinary, and interconnected character. This complexity simply follows Moore’s Law on a steep exponential curve.
Systems Engineering is a means supporting us as Systems Engineers and Architects to oversee this complexity, provide technical leadership and making impactful decisions in a very early stage of the complex systems life cycle.
Various Systems Engineering models, frameworks, processes were developed and visualised, from Waterfalls, Staircases, Vees, Spirals, Loops, Circles. And nowadays I myself use the Square-Root model. Each of these have their differentiating values! In practice it all boils down to efficiency and effectiveness: as lazy as possible, creating max value.
CASA, the Cone for Advanced Systems Architecting, is a tool combining these models in single object: a Cone. In this workshop you will learn about this Cone, and get a first experience how to apply this cone for your own challenges, to: as lazy as possible, creating max value!
