Input
System Requirements Specifications document
Process
At this stage, the engineering has to get a close look at their competitors and learn the engineering aspects of the product. A high-level chart of the main Product Breakdown Structure (PBS) is put on a whiteboard and everybody should review the proposed engineering solution to see if it works and provides what is defined in the System Requirements Specifications document.
Output
A high-level Product Breakdown Structure with the following characteristics:
