The key to developing today’s complex products that have hardware, software, cyber and connectivity features is taking a solution-centric approach. During system decomposition and the subsequent building and integration of sub-systems and components, the desired final solution can get lost. The ideal scenario is that every step and aspect of engineering, the people working on the solution and the work itself all have a connection to the solution.

This is what Solution Centric Development (SCD) attempts to achieve. By aligning system engineering concepts, practices such as RFLP, software best practices to a scalable execution framework, we achieve the desired outcomes such as governance adherence, high-quality products and services that users love that is done at a sustainable pace aligned to market rhythms.

This open discussion will be held by:

  • Scott Barnes, Principal Consultant – PEDCO AG and
  • Peter Pedross, Creator of Applied SAFe – PEDCO AG

Participants are kindly requested to join the discussion as well!

We had a 1 hour webinar on this topic on Tuesday, June 28th, 2022 14:00 – 15:00 CET

Get a glimpse of what we will do in the workshop and register here to WATCH the recording!

We touched on topics like how to align requirements engineering, functional safety, cyber security, engineering best practices, software best practices, etc. in a way that supports a healthy flow of value, achieves quality outcomes (Established Lean QMS) and a system that people love to work in. It’s a mix of experiences with our various clients, for this topic mostly from the Automotive industry.

Engineering tomorrow’s products means staying ahead and relevant in a continually changing environment. But how to combine classic System Engineering (V-Model) and SAFe in a regulatory compliant way?

In this webinar, we will touch on the following topics:

  • Is System Engineering still needed in an agile world?
  • What are some typical problems we face?
  • How do regulators approach agile development?
  • What is needed to combine both worlds?
  • … in a regulatory compliant world
  • What is a Solution Centric Development Approach?
  • How to handle the SAFe ‘Flow-Objects’ like Epics, Capabilities, Features, Stories?
  • What does it take to establish such a Lean QMS?

In this webinar, we:

  • discuss the importance of the questions raised and discuss it in an open manner
  • introduce some concepts and practices of Applied SAFe with respect to Solution Centric Development (SCD)
  • showcase some practical examples with ASPICE 3.1, ISO 26262 and more
  • will talk about some lessons learned
  • … look forward to some discussions and your questions!
