Relevance of the SE “V” Model in an MBE Environment

 The SE “V” symbol SOURCE: US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration

https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/seitsguide/section3.htm
is an intuitive and
instructive framework
for depicting product
development
 However, this linear

representation fails to
depict the real-time
interchange of data
and information in a
DE / MBE Environment
A new symbol is needed to better reflect the

increased complexity of an MBE ecosystem.

Background - The Traditional SE “V” Symbol

 Product focused development
 Implies a sequential process
 “Document-centric” focus

 Fails to depict integrative & US DOT Federal

 Historical attempts to update the

 A new symbol is needed that SOURCE:

Tenets for Depicting the SE Process in an MBE Environment

 Represent MBE as a multi-

dimensional, iterative process
encompassing both physical
and virtual implementations
 Reflect the integrated nature
of MBE, linked with feedback
to related lifecycle elements
 Show relationships spanning
business domains (e.g. Product,
Production, Service & Support)
 Communicate how SE process
is different by using MBE
 Easy to understand, but
flexible and tailorable
