  1. “Challenge the Dominant Paradigm” Mission EngineeringTM - a transformational business analysis and system engineering approach

  2. Mission Engineering (ME) Defined • ME is an advanced requirements gathering and analysis method • ME is focused on capturing & translating the ‘intent’ of the customer’s mission needs into implementable system/software/data requirements • ME reduces interpretation of textual requirements by using visually robust products as the central communication device • ME provides notational linkage of the implementable requirements to the originating customer mission needs • ME is an engineering method that can be used with any system or software engineering processME is a repeatable method where all of the processes and artifacts can be used, or it can be tailored with only a subset of the overall method • ME analysis and artifacts support acquisition analysis, BOE costing and portfolio management. ANALYSIS, COMMUNICATION & UNDERSTANDING

  3. Why Was Mission Engineering Developed? • Deliver systems with greater user satisfaction • Speed up design and development time • Provide analytical defendabletraceability from customer need to architecture design • Provide a better way to derive/illustrate COTS/GOTS/Technology integration requirements • Identify the risk…technical, operational and programmatic • Provide a more integrated and holistic view of the enterprise Customers spend millions of dollars…purchase the best hardware, the best software, and the best engineers…and if the users don’t like or use the system…the system development was a failure

  4. OperationalView Identifies What Needs to be Accomplished and Who Does It SystemsView Technical StandardsView Relates Systems and Characteristics to Operational Needs Prescribes Standards and Conventions Mission Engineering and the DODAF Pyramid • What Needs to Be Done • Who Does It • Information Exchanges Required to Get It Done • Operational Requirements and Capabilities • Systems that Support the Activities and Information Exchanges • Basic Technology Supportability • New Technical Capabilities • Specific System Capabilities Required to Satisfy Information exchange • Technical standards Criteria Governing Interoperable Implementation/Procurement of the Selected System Capabilities

  6. Mission Engineering – What it will do, what it won’t do • Mission EngineeringWILL: • Provide your program with enough functional requirements and preliminary design content to get you to your programs Preliminary Design Review (PDR) gate • Provide your program with a ‘conceptual’ design of the system/application • Provide your program with high level business process flows that are linked to requirements • Provide data architects with a preliminary first draft data dictionary • Provide software architects with a complete workflow analysis, functional behaviors and interface points for COTS integration • Provide Business Process Analysts with lower level (level 5) process flows and business rules • Provide Test engineers with a first draft of the system test procedures • Provide Test engineers with multiple Mission and Capability functional threads • Provide Trainers with input to both standup and/or computer based training course material development • Provide system engineers and architects with preliminary interface definitions and architectural behaviors • Provide stakeholders (Customers) with an easily understood view of what will be developed and how it will be used • Provide your program high quality, rigorous, analytical business and engineering content…if you have the right team • Mission Engineeringwill NOT: • Provide your program with detailed design; e.g. logical model, physical model, UML • Provide you with ‘system’ level requirements; e.g. –ilities (maintainability, scaleability, etc), network protocals, etc • Provide you with hardware requirements • Provide you with network requirements, etc • Be useful to the program if you do not have the right team working on the analysis.

  7. Phases of Mission Engineering Customer Need Engineering Reqt’s ANALYSIS, COMMUNICATION & UNDERSTANDING

  8. Mission Engineering Phase I – Community Analysis Process • INPUTS • Goals • Processes • Products • Existing Documents • User Types • TEAM • Customer • Domain Analysts • Mission Eng Analyst • Desktop Multimedia Producer • Additional Products • Visual Operations & Requirements Spec • Concept Visualizations • Advocacy Material • Requirements • Standardized Architectural Views e.g. C4ISR • Value Engineering Core Products • Community Interface Model • Transaction Inventory • Actor Inventory • Background Information • Input To: • Arch Analysis • Program Marketing • Training • Reqt’s Analysis • ICD Development

  9. Community Analysis – Advocacy & Understanding Develop understanding and advocacy for Customer's Goals and Transformation • Analyze and Define: • Mission Customers, Mission Partners • Mission Roles: Analyst, Consumer, Collection Manager • Information transactions • Information developed & delivered among roles • Value Chain & Capabilities ME Traceability Develop Information Transaction Inventory EAR Activity When transacted Network Domain EAR Service Area Transaction ID Info Type Develop Concept Visualization Info Received From Info Sent From Develop Community Model

  10. Phase 1 Summary of content • At this point, we should have developed: • First draft of community model • Beginning of the actor list • Beginning of the tools (COTS/GOTS) list • Supplier list • Customer list • Partner list • Information Transaction table • TIME Elapsed: 1 to 3 weeks • Additionally, if the program desires, we should also begin the story board for the concept visualization work

  11. Mission Engineering Phase II – Operations Analysis Process • TEAM • Customer • Domain Experts • Business Analysts • Mission Eng Analyst • Information Architect • System Arch • Additional Products • Business/Mission Process Analysis • Technology Evaluation Matrix • Mission Threads/Product Threads • Actor and Activity Matrix • Requirements Analysis • C4ISR Views • Output To: • Community Model Updates • ME Phase 3 • BPR activities • Program Marketing • Strategic Acquisition Core Products • Enterprise Activity Roadmap • Activity Goals & Descriptions • Capability Descriptions • Enterprise Activity Function Map • Mission Process Models

  12. The Enterprise Activity Roadmap is developed in an Integrated Product Team environment • Work with stakeholders on the mission of the organization and the product & service value chain scenarios from a task flow perspective. • Identify high level “Mission or Operational” Service Areas • Identify “functional activities” involved within the system workflow…logical groupings • Create an inventory illustrating the actor functional activities required in the performance of their mission or in production of a product or service

  13. Enterprise Activity Roadmap defined… Operational Services Functional Activities Increment 1 Increment 2 Increment 3 Commercial Tool A Commercial Tool B Legacy App 1 Activity Name: Activity Code: Actor Class; Actor: Pre-: Post-: COTS/GOTS: Arch service: Source: No Tool ID

  14. Functional Breakdown of COTS/GOTS tools • There are two ways to map tools to the activity roadmap; complete tool or tool function. • For instance, in the illustration below, lets assume the yellow icon represents the Microsoft Office Tool. • As the MS Office tool, you can see exactly what activities have been identified that the MS Office tool will be used or integrated. • Or, if you break MS Office into its high level component functions, (e.g. E-Mail, Notes, Tasks, Contacts, Calendar), you would see which activities will use MS Office, but, you could also then see which component of MS office as well. • You would have: • OL-C – outlook-calendar • OL-E – outlook-e-mail • OL-N – outlook-notes Add COTS/GOTS component as an attribute to activity

  15. Mission Process Map (MPM) Overview A Mission Process Map (MPM) shows the BPR results in the context of a Mission thread. The steps in the MPM are mapped directly to the Activities in the Roadmaps and Service Areas in the Community Model Activities mapped to the Roadmap Service Area Identifier

  16. Phase 2 Summary of content • At this point, we should have: • First draft of every enterprise ‘segment’ activity roadmap • Full definition of each service area • Written all goals and descriptions for all activities • Begun to prioritize the activities per client needs, implementation schedule and funding • A number of Mission Process Maps completed, may include state changes • A candidate set of Capability Vignettes completed or identified • Full description of each actor role • Mapped actor roles to activities • Functional breakdown of tools • Mapped Tools/functions to activities • Listed ‘source’ for each activity, e.g. document, legacy, person • Final draft of the Community model with Service areas shown • TIME Elapsed: 2 to 6 weeks

  17. Mission Engineering Phase III – Systems Analysis Process • TEAM • Domain Experts • Architects – SW, DB, SYS, SEC, Info • Mission Eng Analyst • Mission Eng Facilitator • Additional Outputs • System Requirements • Enterprise Requirements Documents • Business Process Analysis • Requirements Mapping • Requirements Traceability Matrix • Requirements Visualization • Information Architecture • Output To: • Tool Evaluation • Testing Procedures • Training • Architecture • Field Documentation • SW Detailed Design • DB Design • BPR Core Outputs • Functional Requirements • Data Elements and Attributes • Multidimensional Requirements View • Data Tables/Relationships • Business Rule to Function Mapping

  18. System Requirements – Workflow, Interfaces, Behaviors Multi-Dimensional Requirements View (MRV) • Created in an IPT environment of stakeholder, developers and integrators • Captures the activity workflow of people and systems • Captures the behaviors between functions, applications and data • Derives new requirements from integrated architecture analysis • Provides framework to map existing legacy requirements Requirements Visualization EAR MRV Service Area Define operational functional steps – activity workflow Activity Map ops functions to system layer applications Web viewable; DOORS, RequistPRO Map data created & data read to functions Derive new requirements, map existing requirements Central Repository Derive and/or Map business rules to functions

  19. MRV ‘SET’….For each functional activity…

  20. MRV to RV development…”test drive the requirements prior to development”

  21. MRVs explained & link to rest of program Business Segment User Role Business Segment Activity Business Segment Service Area Activity Functional Steps Architecture Segments – Application COTS/GOTS interface Data Store Name – Read / Write Activity Functional Requirements Activity Function Business Rules Maps Activity / Requirements to Capabilities on CDR Criteria for Tech Evaluation Input to Software Design Input to Test Procedures Input to Training Scenarios Input to User Experience Input to Information Architecture Input to TE Business Process Analysis DOORS Database

  22. Phase 3 Summary of content • At this point, you should: • Begin development of the integrated Ops and Requirements Document • Completed a first draft of the prioritized MRVs • Defined performance goals for each MRV to the level required • Can begin development of the data dictionary from each MRV • Analyze the COTS/GOTS functional interfaces for integration • Updated the Community model • Updated the Activity Roadmaps • Updated the Business process flows • TIME Elapsed: 1 to 3 MRVs per day
