Topic: The Model, the Textual and Graphical Requirements Analysis Sheet, and the Specification – A Logical and Effective Progression.
[Presentation] [Manual/Supporting Documentation] [Presentation w/ Notes]
What is one of the hardest tasks for a system engineer to do well? I believe that it is writing good requirements and a corresponding specification. This month you have an opportunity to learn about an alternative approach for developing and writing a good specification. Come and hear Jeff Grady, ESEP, speak on a modeling approach for defining requirements. All INCOSE members and interested friends are encouraged to join us for these informative and useful presentations. Looking forward to seeing you.

Topic: “The Model, the Textual and Graphical Requirements Analysis Sheet (RAS), and the Specification – A Logical and Effective Progression.”
Abstract:
In order to accomplish architecture and requirements engineering work in a timely, affordable, and effective way a program should apply a modeling approach its personnel understand and can apply to produce specifications following a particular template that coordinates with the modeling methods. The transfer agent between these two entities is a requirements analysis sheet (RAS) ideally captured in a computer database. This presentation offers perhaps for the first time a complete graphical RAS coordinated with the text content that helps system engineers fully understand the path to success in this activity that is too often done badly.
Speaker Bio:
Jeff has been the owner of JOG System Engineering for the past 20 years teaching system engineering courses and consulting with companies involved in a wide range of products. Previously he worked 30 years as a customer training instructor at Librascope on underwater fire control systems; as a field and system engineer at Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical on unmanned reconnaissance and strike aircraft launched from air, ground, and shipboard; as a system engineer at GD Convair on the advanced cruise missile; and Systems Development department manager at GD Space Systems Division working on the Atlas Space Transport System. He also served 10 years in the Marine Corps. Jeff has authored ten published books in the systems engineering field. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from SDSU, a master of science degree in System Management from USC, and a systems engineering certificate from UCSD. Jeff teaches system engineering courses on-site at companies for his own company and for short course companies. He also teaches at universities including UCSD. Jeff is an INCOSE Fellow, Founder, and ESEP.
