Essential MBSE Architecture & Process Strategy Applied™
CAVEAT: This is not an MBSE "evangelism" workshop for feckless fools who seek "silver bullet" solutions. It emphasizes the "hard stuff" sought by serious executives, senior technical leaders, and senior project leaders who want to reap the benefits, but avoid the pitfalls, of MBSE.
COURSE ID: WS-MAPS
DESCRIPTION:
The primary goal of the MBSE Architecture and Process Strategy (MAPS) Workshop is to help Engineering organizations plan successful transitions from "As Is" Systems Engineering (SE) Processes that are document-based/code-centric to "To Be" Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Processes that are requirements-driven/architecture-centric.
MAPS workshop participants collaborate with an MBSE Expert Instructor to systematically assess the strengths and weaknesses of their current SE or MBSE strategies. Consequently, they can efficiently plan their organization’s transition to MBSE technologies using traditional Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) techniques. Contact us to discuss how the MAPS Workshop can be customized for your team and project.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand the technical and business advantages of a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach that is requirements-driven and architecture-centric
• Learn how "System-of-Systems" sprawl is a wicked fractal problem that demands recursive architecture, analysis, design, and testing patterns on "both sides of the System V-Model"
• Understand how to synergistically balance the four components of the MBSE System Architecture Tetrad: Architecture Modeling Languages, Architecture Modeling Tools, Enterprise Architecture Frameworks, and architecture-centric MBSE processes
• Identify, prioritize, and resolve problems specific to your current Systems Engineering Process (SEP)
• Develop an MBSE Transition Plan to transform your document-based/code-centric SEP into architecture-centric MBSE Process
• Empower an MBSE Architecture Core Team as a "force multiplier" to accelerate your MBSE transition
• Learn about MBSE Anti-Patterns and worst practices to avoid
• Learn about MBSE Pro-Patterns and best practices to adopt

AGILE MBSE EXPERT INSTRUCTORS: All PivotPoint Agile MBSE Live Virtual Training training workshops are taught by Agile MBSE Experts with 10+ years practical application experience using leading SysML Modeling & Simulation (ModSim) tools (Cameo/MagicDraw, Sparx EA, etc.). All Agile MBSE Expert Instructors have been certified as such by PivotPoint's Founder & Chief Instructor (see below), and are passionate about the technical subjects they teach.
COURSE AUTHOR & CHIEF INSTRUCTOR: Cris Kobryn is the Founder of PivotPoint Technology and is an internationally-recognized expert in system architecture modeling languages (SysML, UML, BPMN, ArchiMate), enterprise architecture frameworks (DoDAF, UPDM, TOGAF), and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools. Cris led the original SysML (Systems Modeling Language) open source project, for which he received the INCOSE Outstanding Service Award in 2006. Cris has been architecting and designing distributed computer systems for three decades, and is known for successfully leading the UML 1.x, UML 2.0, and SysML international standardization teams. Recently, he designed the CyberML™ (Cyber Modeling Language™) to precisely specify Agile enterprise architectures that are scalable and cybersecure. You can learn more about Cris' qualifications as a MBSE and Agile Architecture expert on his corporate bio page...
