WEBINAR: Challenges of Needs and Requirements Definition and Management for Complex Systems (INCOSE Webinar 152) August 18 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT Speaker: Raymond Wolfgang, Systems Engineer, Sandia National Labs This presentation will provide an update on the three major new documents from the INCOSE Requirements Working Group that can help to develop, manage, and verify requirements for technical projects:
August 2021
This talk will share the evolution of these documents, describe some of the paradigmshifts that they invite us to consider, and conclude with introducing the Outline of the Manual. After this presentation you will know where to get the answers to your needs and requirements questions: needs identification and elicitation, requirements authorship, development, V&V, and requirements management questions.

Moderator: Dr. Laura Freeman, SERC Research Council member; Director, Intelligent Systems Lab, Hume Center, Virginia Tech Testing has often been looked at as a (un)necessary evil. In this talk, we will discuss the demand for testing events, the Scientific Test and Analysis Techniques process (since STAT is mandated in DoD policy anyway), and what test planning may look like in a digital engineering environment. Examples of efficient and effective test planning will also be discussed, both those that were conducted during development and those developed post deployment.
