Join us on Tuesday, 28 Feb, 5:15-6:45pm NZT, for the first INCOSE NZ meet-up of 2023! We'll share some chapter and regional activity updates, followed by a presentation from Cobus van Zyl of Cubic Defence: "Verification versus Validation – What’s the Difference and Why Should We Care"

Cobus will share some lessons learned and lessons observed from his experience working across the systems engineering Vee life cycle in defence, aviation, and technology, with a focus on requirements, verification vs validation, and traceability. While they are similar, validation and verification can have subtle distinctions that result in major differences when moving between organisations, sectors, and technologies -- possibly leading to confusion and frustration. Cobus' talk provides a forum to encourage discussion and debate amongst New Zealand's Systems Engineering community so that we can better appreciate and explain the V&V distinctions.
