State/mode changes (activities ) described as operational contracts
Somewhat mirrors “Vee” model
Task flow and work products (artifacts) include following top-level process elements:
Requirements Analysis
System Functional Analysis
Architectural Design
Detailed task flows and work products provided for each process element
Modeled as SysML activity diagrams
Tool Support
Harmony-SE (and Harmony) were created as tool- and vendor-neutral, model-based methodologies. No process framework tool exists from IBM Rational/Telelogic or third-party provider.
Tool support for MBSE that supports the methods specified by Harmony-SE and Harmony is, of course, provided by IBM Rational/Telelogic via the Tau and Rhapsody product offerings.
Offering/Availability
Harmony-SE/SysML Deskbook has been published to help guide the systems engineer and project manager through the entire MBSE methodology. In addition, IBM Rational/Telelogic offers professional services to support methodology adoption.
