Technical Processes Overview

Whereas the technical management processes provide insight of, and control over, the technical development of a system throughout its life cycle, the technical processes are used to design, develop and analyze the system, system elements and enabling system elements required for integration, test, production, deployment, support, operation and disposal.

The eight technical processes discussed in Systems Engineering Guidebook, sections 4.2.1 through 4.2.8, provide a framework for ensuring and maintaining traceability between stakeholder requirements, systems design and the eventual delivered capability.
