Introduction: The information that you will need to provide at this stage of design management is at a higher level than the specific system you have chosen. For this you will need to "back up" to a "solution neutral" point, to describe the system you are endeavoring to design. As such, the introduction should outline the operational or customer needs that will guide the design process, including system level requirements and concept selection. So, you must think in general terms about the high-level purpose that your system is designed to serve.
Design Methodology: The plan for design management starts with selection of a specific design methodology. Describe the design approach you think is most suited to the solution-neutral problem you have defined and provide rationale for your choice of design methodology. Make sure to describe how you plan to integrate models and methods into your design approach.
Standards & Regulation Management: Identify specific standards that apply to your design problem and how you plan to incorporate them into the design process. Also, discuss any regulatory requirements that may be applicable (these should be incorporated as system level requirements).
Stakeholder Management: This part of the design management plan is the stakeholder management plan discussed in Topic 3.5. List known stakeholders for your design effort and explain how any additional stakeholders will be identified. Develop the stakeholder classification matrix and explain how it will be used in managing stakeholders through the design process. Don't forget to discuss stakeholder engagement, communication, requirements solicitation and expectation management.
Conceptual Design Plan: Describe your approach to conceptual design and how it fits into the overall design methodology. Describe the need and the approach to feasibility/requirements analysis, along with discussion of any external/design constraints that may be applicable. Provide examples of system level requirements (functional, non-functional, performance, interface, verification) applicable to your design problem.
