March/April | Apply Systems Engineering Methods Within the Agile Framework

This workshop offers a practical exploration of executing projects within the Agile Framework while maintaining the engineering and technical rigor required for critical systems. Discover how to formally capture complex systems and programs that extend beyond software, using Agile and model-driven architecture. Topics include the development of key engineering artifacts such as requirements, subsystems, use cases, and activities, and the application of Agile methodologies to high-assurance projects. 
Ideal for those wishing to learn how to apply systems engineering methods within an Agile environment with Engineers, Software Developers, and Project Managers.

Registration closes on March 2, 2025 at 11:59 PM (PT) Space is limited. Register today!

Cost: $1,000 - Includes breakfast and lunch

Attendance: In-person and virtual

Post-workshop resources:

  • Access to all presentation slides

September 5 | Model-Based Systems Engineering for Leaders

This workshop is intentionally designed to focus on real-world application and leadership-level understanding of MBSE. It emphasizes formal systems thinking, hands-on examples, and actionable insights that can be brought back to teams and projects. The goal is to teach MBSE at a level that leadership can understand. It provides:

  • An overview of Systems Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
  • Insight into how MBSE applies to programs and projects
  • Guidance on interpreting architecture diagrams—what they represent, how they support decision-making, and what can be delivered using them
  • Introduction to the Model-Based Systems Architecture Process (MBSAP) framework
  • A walkthrough of a fully realized SysML architecture, which participants can revisit at any time after the workshop

While it’s impossible to teach full SysML modeling in a single day, the course lays the conceptual foundation and uses a detailed, built-out example to make core concepts tangible and accessible.

Registration closes on September 3, 2025 at 11:59 PM (PT) Space is limited. Register today!

Cost: $1,000 - Includes breakfast and lunch (in-person & online)
