Question:
In this weeks course material, we discussed design, and evaluation of designs. The concept of evalating the design to make sure it fulfills requirements correctly is so critical that the textbook devotes and entire chapter to it, Chapter 5. After reading Chapter 5, please answer the following questions at the end of the chapter (page 264):
1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 13.
Answer each question is as much detail as you can. Your submission should be between 1 and 2 pages. Please adhere to the typographic format in the Start Here folder.
1. Describe the checks and balances in the design process (as you see them).
3. What is included in the establishment of a "functional" baseline? "Allocated" baseline? "product" baseline? Why is baseline management important?
5. Identify some of the benefits derived through formal design review. Describe some concerns.
6. In developing an agenda in preparing for a formal design review, what considerations must be addressed in the selection of items to be covered in the review process? How are review and evaluation criteria identified? Describe the steps and resources required in preparing for the design review.
7. How are technical performance measures (TPMs) considered in the design review process?
9. How are design changes initiated? How are priorities established?
10. How are design changes implemented? Identify the steps involved in system modifications.
13. How does configuration management (CM) relate to system engineering? Why is it important? What is likely to occur if configuration management practices(or equivalent) are not followed?
