As Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) becomes more widely adopted in industry, projects involving collaborating teams require efficient collaboration and coordination. This talk will explore the challenges of industrializing MBSE projects and present solutions using the Capella modeling tool. We will discuss how the Cloud for Capella, Publication for Capella and Team for Capella extensions can support effective collaboration and communication among stakeholders working on MBSE projects. These extensions enable all project participants to remain aligned and up-to-date with project progress, ensuring that the project runs smoothly and efficiently. By the end of the talk, attendees will have a better understanding of how to industrialize MBSE projects and the role Capella can play in supporting these efforts. Biography: Stephane Lacrampe Stephane Lacrampe co-founded Obeo in 2005 in France and acted as the company's CEO until 2018. Obeo is an independent software vendor with a global reach, leading in open-source modeling software for system and software engineers, enterprise architects, and domain modeling experts. He is now the director of Obeo Canada. He is a very active member of the Capella community and is in charge of developing the Capella ecosystem in North and South America. He is a regular MBSE speaker who speaks at conferences in America and beyond. Stephane LACRAMPE is co-chair of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Tools Database Working Group and the INCOSE Canada chapter webmaster.

The Arcadia method
Arcadia drives you to adopt certain perspectives to ensure the consistency
and completeness of your architecture design.
Perspective Objective
Operational Analysis What the stakeholders need to accomplish
System Need Analysis
What the system has to accomplish for the
stakeholders
Conceptual Architecture
How the system will work to fulfill
expectations
Finalized Architecture How the system will be developed and built
