International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) International Symposium 2017
Adelaide, Australia
July 15 - 20, 2017
INCOSE has long been a driving force in the evolution of systems engineering. In recent years, INCOSE's leadership has acknowledged the increasing importance of Product Line Engineering (PLE) in the systems engineering arena. Dr. Charles Krueger, BigLever Software CEO, was recently selected by INCOSE to lead the development of ISO standards for Feature-based PLE, the modern PLE approach that is enabling the industry's most notable success stories.
With more than 100 members and growing, the INCOSE PLE International Working Group (PLE IWG) brings PLE education and activities to the community. As co-chair of the PLE IWG, Dr. Krueger will spearhead a variety of PLE-related activities at this year's INCOSE International Symposium, including a review and discussion session regarding recent progress and next steps for the INCOSE Feature-based PLE ISO standards initiative.
>> Learn more about the ISO PLE standards initiative.
Dr. Krueger will also present the underlying feature ontology that enables stakeholders throughout the enterprise to use Feature-based PLE in innovative ways to achieve major technical gains and key strategic business goals.
The PLE track will also include the presentation of a case study paper co-authored by Dr. Bobbi Young, senior principle systems engineer at Raytheon Company, and Dr. Paul Clements, BigLever's VP of customer success.

Live Webinar: Feature-based Product Line Engineering – PLE for the Enterprise
Hosted by INCOSE (Webinar 102)
Presented by Dr. Paul Clements, BigLever Software
August 2, 2017 – 10:00 a.m. CDT
This webinar will explore the feature ontology behind Feature-based PLE that provides structure to the myriad distinguishing characteristics among products in a product line, enabling their efficient management and targeted usage by stakeholders throughout the enterprise.
Dr. Clements will present case studies spotlighting how some of the world’s largest forward-thinking organizations are leveraging Feature-based PLE to engineer their competitive advantage through order-of-magnitude improvements in productivity, time-to-market, portfolio scalability, and product quality. The presentation will also provide insight into INCOSE’s ISO Feature-based PLE standards initiative currently underway.
NOTE: This webinar is open to all, including INCOSE non-members. If you attend as a non-member and find the webinar to be valuable, you are encouraged to join INCOSE and consider opportunities for your organization to become part of the INCOSE Corporate Advisory Board.

Live Webinar: Introducing the BigLever Feature-based Product Line Engineering Process Framework using Method Park Stages
Hosted by Method Park
Presented by Dr. Paul Clements, BigLever Software
August 2, 2017 — 2:00 p.m. CDT
As PLE evolves into an enterprise-wide solution, it’s increasingly important that organizations have a well-established framework – a Concept of Operations – that lays out the organizational structure, and puts that structure into motion by clearly defining PLE-related processes, roles, responsibilities, and work products.
BigLever and Method Park have joined forces to create the Feature-based Product Line Engineering Process Framework™, which was built using Method Park’s Stages Process Management System. This webinar will explore how organizations can use the new process framework to:
- Speed PLE adoption through a proven, off-the-shelf template of best practices.
- Tailor PLE processes for each group within the organization.
- Improve cross-functional communication and alignment in PLE deployments.
- Avoid the inefficiencies and pitfalls of ad-hoc and one-off approaches.
- Adhere to the Feature-based PLE ISO standards currently in development.

Live Webinar: Feature-based Product Line Engineering Meets IBM’s Model-based Systems Engineering
Hosted by IBM
Presented by Jeff Pilato, BigLever Software
August 9, 2017 — 10:00 a.m. CDT
This webinar will explore the key engineering benefits and business impact of combining PLE’s innovative featured-based variation management capabilities with the powerful visualization, analysis, verification, and validation capabilities of IBM’s Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) solution.
Attendees will gain insight into how BigLever’s Gears PLE Lifecycle Framework™ integrates with IBM Rhapsody, IBM DOORS, IBM DOORS NG, and other tools to support the combined use of Featured-based PLE and MBSE. This presentation will also spotlight recent examples of leading companies in automotive, aerospace, defense, and other industries that are combining these two approaches to achieve significant growth and yield order of magnitude returns.
