Smarter systems development: a systems engineering trade study to support green initiatives with model-driven development
Trade studies help us fully explore the design space to ensure that a proposed solution best meets conflicting performance and cost requirements. But many of us don't know that you can analytically and objectively conduct your trade studies well before you engineer anything. Using a model-driven approach with IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® software from IBM, you can determine which solution will best capture stakeholder requirements while also justifying your engineering decisions.
Analyze system safety using UML
IBM has created a UML profile that enables you to capture requirements, create designs and analyze system safety all within the same IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® tool environment. This paper will discuss the use of the fault tree analysis (FTA) approach to safety analysis and the use of the UML profiling mechanism to create a safety analysis profile, including the definition of its normative metamodel.

Product and project portfolio management
This track offered sessions that explored the various examples of how companies plan, analyze and manage their products, services and projects as real investments in a portfolio. Find related resources below designed for the people responsible for direction, definition, and planning of those products and services, as well as those that are involved in the management of those products and projects.
Creating and managing value-driven product portfolios
The product portfolio decisions you make today will determine whether your company is relevant tomorrow. With such a fine line between success and failure, now is the time to make product portfolio decisions based on fact—not guesswork, political agendas, intuition or the opinions of the loudest voice in the room. Successful product portfolios are parked at the intersection of what is valuable to both your customers and your business. Companies with successful product portfolios often utilize a systematic process to effectively guide which projects are selected. After all, every new product initiative is an investment of scarce resources.
Value driven product management: Six keys to product success
Value-driven product management is a repeatable process based on industry best practices that uses subjective and objective criteria to deliver successful products. This paper explains how assessment, alignment, achievability, accessibility, agility and accountability, the six key concepts of value-driven product management, can be applied to create a repeatable process for developing successful products.
Tough times – tough choices: Making product portfolio trade-offs
In today’s economic climate difficult product portfolio trade-offs are inevitable. The real question is how to properly value the products and make the decisions that will deliver the most value to the business. It is not sufficient to rely on guesswork, political agendas, intuition, or the loudest voice in the room. How reliable are your strategic decisions? Extend your knowledge on how to focus on value as you make tough choices, in tough market and business conditions using IBM solutions.

Seven steps to achieving better requirements engineering in your organization
Often perceived as a discipline concerned only with analyzing and documenting requirements, requirements engineering is an important part of systems engineering. Companies that successfully introduce a new requirements engineering process not only change their process and technology, but also change their thinking. While improving your requirements management and analysis practices, this step-by-step guide can help you accelerate change and process acceptance across your organization.
Ten steps to better requirements management
Requirements definition and management is a necessary step in the delivery of successful systems and software projects; the discipline is also required by standards, regulations, and quality improvement initiatives like CMMI®. Requirements definition and management is an activity that can deliver a high, fast return on investment. This white paper explains the characteristics of a "good" requirement and presents ten steps to better requirements management.
