Critical requirements for a system are often missed because the full life cycle of a system is not well understood or the enabling products for the system are not well defined. Enabling products are those products that provide the means for getting end items into use, and for properly retiring thoseend items from use. This paper describes a system life cycle, defines enabling product types, and gives examples of enabling products for a system. The utility of developing a full definition of the system life cycle and its enabling products is described. A mapping between enabling product types and the system life cycle is described. Full consideration of the system life cycle and its enabling products will ensure greater coverage of the requirements needed for the engineering of systems.
