SysML (and UAF) could function as killer business documentation tools, if only they were approachable to the masses.

Issues to Fix

  • Focus modeling around derivatives
    • Models are a means to an end, they are not the inherently valuable asset
  • Standardizing Practices
    • Models should be consistent
    • Prefer images over boxes where possible
    • Create a “complexity ceiling” rule for diagrams
  • Adding Affordances
    • Labeling relationships
    • Labeling entities
    • Removing unnecessary “SysML”isms like <<block>>

It looks like Capella is also an intentional simplification of SysML.
