1. The V-Model (or VEE model) is a systems development model designed to simplify the understanding of the complexity associated with developing systems. In systems engineering, it is used to define a uniform procedure for product or project development.The V-model is a graphical representation of the systems development lifecycle. Which one of the following statements is not supported by the V-model?

a. The VEE is a process that represents the sequence of steps in a project life cycle development.

b. It describes the activities and results that have to be produced during product development. The left side of the VEE represents the decomposition of requirements, and the creation of system specifications.

c. The right side of the V represents the integration of parts and their verification.

d. Allows the Systems Engineer to go back in time and correct deficiencies.

11. The Technical Processes are used to define the requirements for a system, to transform the requirements into an effective product, to permit consistent reproduction of the product where necessary, to use the product to provide the required services, to sustain the provision of those services and to dispose of the product when it is retired from serviceThe Technical Processes define the activities and project functions to optimize the benefits and reduce the risks that arise from technical decisions and actions. These activities enable products and services to have:
    1. The timeliness and availability, the cost-effectiveness, and the functionality, reliability, maintainability, producibility, usability and other qualities required by acquiring and supplying organizations.
    2. The untimeliness and availability, the cost-effectiveness, and the functionality, reliability, maintainability, producibility, usability and other risk qualities required by acquiring and supplying organizations.
    3. The timeliness and unavailability, the cost-effectiveness, and the redundancy, reliability, maintainability, producibility, life-cycle usability and other qualities required by acquiring and supplying organizations.
    4. The timeliness and availability, the cost-effectiveness, and the functionality, risk, maintainability, producibility, disability and other qualities required by acquiring and supplying organizations.

12. From your perspective what do you think is the most important issues affecting structure successful project development:

    a. Lack of awareness of the importance, value, timing, acountability, and organizational structure of Systems Engineering (SE) on programs

    b. Adequate, qualified resources are generally not available within Government/ industry for allocation on major programs

    c.Insufficient SE tools and environments to effectively execute SE on programs

    d. Requirements definition, development and management is not applied consistently and effectively

    e. Poor initial program formulation.
