Background

About Matt Pallaver

Particular interest in maintaining functional safety over environmental variation (weather, aging, wear out, corrosion, misuse, damage, manufacturing variation, maintenance). Experienced supporting technical system design team processes in design, reliability, quality and risk management roles. In addition to traditional business design and analysis, I advocate and practice: 1) Requirements definition in the function space; 2) Operational requirements validation to stakeholder needs; 3) Top down functional decomposition (zig-zag) of operational performance requirements into sub-system, interface and use case leaf level DPs (not bottom up design from VOC); 4) paranoia; 5) Using concept phase function models for solution dependency analysis and architectural decoupling; 6) Systematic concept phase hazards and performance risk mitigation; 7) Generation and documentation of FR V&V test plans (test driven development); and 8) Project scheduling by risk mitigating tasks and dependency logic, not features.
