Based on the six purposes described in SEBoK 1.0 Introduction, the authors created a set of users and uses, as seen in the sections below. The authors have further refined a subset of these uses by creating written use cases, which provide guidance on how to walk through the SEBoK for common classes of SEBoK readers. The primary users for which there are more defined use cases include: • Use Case 1: Practicing Systems Engineers, • Use Case 2: Other Engineers, • Use Case 3: Customers of Systems Engineering, • Use Case 4: Educators and Researchers, and • Use Case 5: General Managers.

Primary Users
There are nine types of “primary” SEBoK users along with examples for each their potential uses of the SEBoK, as shown in Table 1. These primary users have the technical skills necessary to access and understand the SEBoK.
# | Users | Uses |
---|---|---|
1 | Practicing systems Engineers ranging from novice up through expert |
|
2 | Process engineers responsible for defining or implementing SE processes |
|
3 | Faculty Members |
|
4 | GRCSE authors |
|
5 | Certifiers |
|
6 | General Managers, Other Engineers, developers, testers, researchers |
|
7 | Customers of Systems Engineering |
|
8 | SE managers |
|
9 | SE researchers |
|
Secondary Users
Table 2 shows three types of secondary users – those who lack systems engineering (SE) technical skills and would likely rely on a primary user, such as a practicing systems engineer, to help them access and understand the SEBoK.
# | Users | Uses |
---|---|---|
1 | Human resource development professionals |
|
2 | Non-technical managers |
|
3 | Attorneys, policy makers |
|
Please note that the example uses shown in Tables 1 and 2 are intended to be indicative, but are not exhaustive.
