Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
Whitetree promotes a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology, which revolutionizes the development of system requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities. This innovative approach replaces traditional document-based processes with digital models, which in turn, meets secure-by-design requirements.
Our Systems Engineers are proficient in the practice of MBSE to support the Systems Engineering Lifecycle and adopt a comprehensive system-of-systems perspective. This enables Whitetree to manage complexity very efficiently through the use of digital platforms, resulting in a coherent, fully integrated and auditable system solution. Our commitment to this advanced methodology not only ensures the successful delivery of our projects but also contributes to the evolution of the systems engineering field.
​
Enterprise Architecture
Whitetree, in collaboration with its partners, acknowledges the escalating complexity and interconnectivity of systems, solutions, processes, and enterprises. The assessment and documentation of these intricate architectures are essential for the formulation of coherent solutions. Enterprise Architecture (EA) serves a pivotal role in evaluating system requirements and interdependencies to attain desired outcomes, offering a robust framework to secure agreement from customers, businesses, and stakeholders alike.
​
Our team boasts extensive experience in developing and delivering to various EA frameworks such as DDRA, CAA, and NAFv4. We also possess expert proficiency in EA tools like Archimate and BizzDesign.
​
We provide comprehensive support and expertise in crafting complex EA modelling solutions, ensuring that our clients are equipped with the most effective and efficient strategies to navigate the complexities of their respective domains.

Requirements Management & Verification
To effectively manage risk throughout the systems engineering lifecycle, Whitetree Solutions Engineers implement a process of progressive verification and acceptance. We understand the critical importance of establishing, capturing, and linking agreed acceptance criteria to requirements from the very beginning.
​
Utilising tools like DOORS and SPARX, we ensure transparent, auditable connections that facilitate early verification and acceptance, driving progressive risk reduction. This proactive approach not only mitigates potential risk but also ensures that our projects adhere to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
​
By maintaining a clear and consistent line of regular communication with all team stakeholders, we ensure that everyone is aligned with the project objectives and challenges.
Systems Engineering
Our Systems Engineering capability adheres to the well-established practices and principles of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) to ensure successful execution of complex engineering projects and solutions within a respected professional framework.
​
We employ a robust approach to requirements management, verification, and acceptance, supported by tools such as DOORS and SPARX. These tools enable us to efficiently link, decompose, and validate system requirements and solutions throughout the systems engineering lifecycle.
​
This methodical approach ensures that every stage of the project, from inception to completion, is meticulously planned and executed. It allows us to anticipate potential changes & uncertainties and devise effective strategies to overcome them. By maintaining a clear and consistent line of communication with all stakeholders, we ensure that everyone is aligned with the project objectives, progress and required outcomes.
​
Our commitment to these principles and practices not only ensures successful delivery of our projects but contributes to the advancement of the Systems Engineering field.
