Select a Systems Engineering case study to research and study. Example case studies are found on the following Web site :
http://www.afit.edu/ENV/doclib.cfm?dl=96
Here is a resource for the Friedman-Sage Framework that will be needed for your case studies: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a468062.pdf
Lessons learned is the knowledge often obtained from participation in real-world activities, such as a project or assignment. Often, lessons learned are discussed after a project or assignment to help improve future processes.

  • In your own words, describe and summarize your top 3 lessons learned from the case study for the week.
  • The Friedman-Sage Framework can be used as a framework for your lessons learned paper. (Detailed information on the use of the Friedman-Sage Framework is found in the case studies.) For example, when evaluating your case study, determine how the Friedman-Sage Framework was used. You might find that a part of the model was used effectively, or you might find that a part of the model was not used effectively in your case study. You can use the model to help make suggestions concerning your case study.
  • Your top 3 lessons learned should include proposed system engineering practices that would support mitigation that you find necessary by studying the case study.
  • Your lessons learned paper should also include the good and bad system engineering practices that you observed in the case study.

Following are phases of the Friedman-Sage Framework. Visit the Web site to see the detailed explanation of this framework (Air Force Center for Systems Engineering, n.d.):

  • Requirements Definition and Management
  • Systems Architecture Development
  • System/Subsystem Design
  • Validation/Verification
  • Risk Management
  • Systems Integration & Interfaces
  • Life Cycle Support
  • Deployment and Post Deployment
  • System and Program Management
