Abstract
AbstractIt's time for a sanity check on the use of tools for Systems Engineering. This paper is based on the authors experiences on both sides of the SE tools equation. On one side is the tool builder, on another side is the tool user, and also on some side (often the outside) is the manager or owner that has to pay for the tool only to discover that the tool purchase was the proverbial tip of the iceberg. This common sense treatment of such weighty issues as: “Tools! We don't need no stinking tools”, “What comes first‐the method or the tool?”, “Can I afford this tool if you give it to me free?”,“ Will you show me your F‐Net if I show you my STD?”, and “Who does the Systems Engineering for Systems Engineering tools?” may actually have a point.
