13. Systems Engineering
• Systems engineering is an
interdisciplinary field of
engineering that focuses on how
complex engineering projects
should be designed and
managed. Issues such as logistics,
the coordination of different
teams, and automatic control of
machinery become more difficult
when dealing with large,
complex projects.
• Systems engineering deals with
work-processes and tools to
handle such projects, and it
overlaps with both technical and
human-centered disciplines such
as control engineering and
project management.

18. A Case Study
1. A master yard planner sent me a meeting invitation, she needs to find how to use the data
listed in a huge worksheet. The worksheet contains most of core table schema from one
commercial application for Yard Management. In her email she wrote: “Please make every
attempt to attend these workshops so we can document our questions related to the data
structure and functionality. If you are unable to attend in person, please advise so I can
reschedule accordingly.”
2. I am new to the project, so I had to rash out to find some background information (business
analysis) – the software vendor deployed a “operational data storage” (ODS) recently , which
can provide archived data from production instance (IT background)
1. One production database holds live transactions of each equipment movement and status
2. The data are moved to ‘ODS’, that can provide historical information
3. Vendor will help business team to use ODS in the yard planning
3. What it is wrong here, supposed you are hired to help her?
1. What is business context and why we need to know the data structure and “functionality”
2. What she is talk about – “Does she know?”
3. Why she need to document, she is not IT staff, nor business analyst.
4. Why and how she needs the data
18

19. Case Study – Step 1
• Now, I am ready for the meeting with the planner with the questions she needs to answer first:
– What is your business use case What is your business process flow?
– How the ODS can help you?
– (you need there are at least three business processes involved (business knowledge)
– (you need how to start business analysis – business process flow diagram and use case)
– (you should have knowledge about the data architecture – some IT background)
• Now I need to sell something to her
– High level business flow and business case
– Enterprise data architecture
– What she needs to do for next meeting
• In the meeting
– Convince her do not spend too much time on the worksheet, but work on her use case
19

20. Data Architecture
• Promise to provide the data for business use
• Require business people provide business
requirement documentation

21. Use case – business requirements
