Facilitated group discussion exploring the "good enough" engineering principle.
Overview
In an era of rapid digital transformation, Systems Engineering grapples with a critical challenge: leveraging the potential of modern tools and processes while side-stepping the crippling effects of ‘over-engineering’.
Addressing this challenge is becoming urgent. Despite the availability of modern innovations designed to streamline the engineering process – like Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and AI-driven requirements generation – projects are still grinding to a halt under the burden of excessive, inflexible and poorly tailored engineering approaches.
Tackling this challenge demands a shift in mindset – a departure from the relentless pursuit of engineering perfection, the inability to accept appropriate levels of risk, and the often-unyielding adherence to arbitrary engineering standards. It requires the uncomfortable acceptance that “good enough is good enough”.
This workshop will explore how the “good enough” concept, when embedded as a core principle within our engineering approaches, can lead us out of the “over-engineering” trap, and unlock the full potential of our existing, and future, digital toolsets.
Opportunity for interaction
Participants will engage in a facilitated discussion exploring their experiences with over-engineering and the good-enough engineering approach.
