Digital Engineering: Transforming The Research Into The Business Roadmap

Organizations are embedding digital engineering and model‐based engineering into their systems engineering lifecycles to achieve cost savings, higher product quality, and earlier delivery. From a business perspective, understanding the success of their digital transformation investment, has been lacking. To address this requested need, government, university, and industry experts have collaborated with the INCOSE Measurement Working Group to enhance the issuance of the initial Digital Engineering Measurement Framework (v1.1) to include measures that track, and report results related to digital engineering business operations and environmental benefits. This article describes the approach used to mature the guidance document, the benefits of the new measures, and recommendations for the sequential release.
