Functions
Projects that perform functional analyses and develop functional specifications often include functions in their systems engineering (SE) model. Identifying which functions need to be fulfilled by the system’s objects helps formulate requirements based on the functions of these objects. Ultimately, this describes the system’s desired performance. For example, it is common practice for clients to […]
Permits
When projects seek to closely monitor the permit-issuing process, permits are often integrated into their systems engineering (SE) model. One of the major benefits commonly experienced is the traceability of objects and activities subject to a permit, as well as the requirements derived from it. The basics Based on observations of projects, the basic model […]
Actions
Actions are a broad and well-known concept. Generally, the main purpose of an action is to maintain control and ensure that the necessary work is completed. Examining the most common usage of an action, we see that it often arises from a specific reason and is directed toward achieving a defined goal. Delving deeper, we […]
Stakeholder/customer requirements
Projects implementing stakeholder management often refer to stakeholder or customer requirements, which encompass the needs, expectations, problems, and opportunities expressed by stakeholders. For instance, it is common practice for clients to gather stakeholder or customer requirements, which serve as inputs for the project and form the basis for deriving other requirements (e.g., system requirements). In […]
Deliverables
Deliverables, often referred to as Products, are used to define what the (sub-)contractor must deliver to the client. They help maintain an overview of all items to be delivered and, when managed effectively, provide valuable insight into the project’s progress. There is often a strong connection between deliverables, work packages, and activities. A starting point […]
Work Packages
Work packages are commonly used in projects to break down tasks, actions, and activities. They are a valuable project management tool that provides better control over the project planning process, costs, inquiries, deliverables, and product and/or process requirements. Minimalistic Work Packages Work packages allow users to outline the tasks to be completed, providing insight into […]
Meetings
Meetings are very common in construction projects. Without them, it is challenging to coordinate multiple people, disciplines, and/or organizations. The primary purpose of registering meetings appears to be ensuring traceability and providing a reference. There is no strict requirement for how meetings should be modeled in Relatics. This article outlines some common practices for modeling […]
Risks
Risk management is often applied to gain insights into events that could positively or negatively impact the outcomes of a project or organization. A clear understanding of risks within a project enables early mitigation of potential consequences, reducing costs associated with failure and capitalizing on opportunities. Basic risk management on projects The basics This model […]
