What are we to do? As corporations jump on the MBSE band-wagon, there is a proliferation of LLCs and individuals hawking their MBSE consulting services. This proliferation compares to the population expansion of the wild European rabbit in Australia. I've recently had experiences with one of these LLCs and I have a genuine fear of the damage that they will cause to the practice and to the careers of individuals that consume their snake oil. Have you vetted the content of the YouTube channels linked to your YouTube presence (a GREAT resource BTW!)? A link implies endorsement. Wouldn't you agree? We need the equivalent of the Better Business Bureau ® to vet these entities and provide a resource where we can share experiences, positive and negative. An entity to arbitrate issues as they arise. Without such a resource, I'm very concerned about the potentialities. Consultants employing outrageous titles and without competency credentials seem to be proliferating much like the wild European rabbits in Australia. We know the resulting damage to the Australian ecosystem.

Hi Bruce, In my cmpy , we are introducing ever more quality practices into our systems and programing, and now we are starting to try to document our SW development lifecycle and identify quality any gaps against ASPICE principles, such as practices of traceability and consistency. I have seen designers composing lifecycle process flow diagrams to show how they update/build SW architectures, for example. And they then try to include also further boxes (activities) labelled 'Traceability' and 'Consistency', and add a few arrows in and out to try to show that these quality practices are integrated into the architecture lifecycle. I was wondering whether practices can be integrated in the same flow diagram lifecycle activities. I personally do not see 'practices' as being so similar to processes or activities. For example, going for a run is an activity, but remembering to breath well or maintain a good posture while running seem to me to be 'practices'. Or to be well-mannered during your day today activities is a practice. Your opinion? Could you point me to some professionally drawn SW lifecycle diagrams that include the employment of traceability and consistency practices -- if such exist. Thanks & blessings Avi

Is it possible to zoom in and out of tables and matrixes in Rhapsody? The tables and matrixes are quite small on my screen (1440p monitor):
