4.5.3 Experience from Introducing SysML into a Large Project Organisation
Erik Herzog, Henric Andersson, Jessica Hallonquist · INCOSE International Symposium · 2010
Abstract Introducing a model centric way of working in large organisations is difficult. At SAAB Aerosystems it has been tried over multiple years in many projects. Success has been limited. In our latest attempt to introducing SysML as a tool for system design it was decided to change focus. Instead of trying to promote models as the new way of documentation it was decided to setup the tools with the objective to create consistent and readable document centric deliverables. Instead of giving the modellers the freedom to use the language at its extreme, it was decided to limit language use to an absolute minimum. As a result there have been some quite drastic initial complaints from our some experienced modellers, but surprisingly strong acceptance of the new approach to modelling from the stakeholders responsible for quality control, but not directly involved in the core development team.
