| # What is OSEE? |
|  |
| |
| The [Open System Engineering Environment (OSEE)](https://eclipse.dev/osee/) project provides a tightly |
| integrated environment supporting lean principles across a product's |
| full life-cycle in the context of an overall systems engineering |
| approach. The system captures project data into a common user-defined |
| data model providing bidirectional traceability, project health |
| reporting, status, and metrics which seamlessly combine to form a |
| coherent, accurate view of a project in real-time. By building on top of |
| this data model, OSEE has been architected to provide an all-in-one |
| solution to configuration management, requirements management, testing, |
| validation, and project management. All of these work together to help |
| an organization achieve lean objectives by reducing management |
| activities, eliminating data duplication, reducing cycle-time through |
| streamlined processes, and improving overall product quality through |
| work flow standardization and early defect detection. |
| |
