[Webinar Recap] Accelerate Your ECSS Standards Compliance with Jama Connect®
|
Ensure your space systems meet industry standards with ease.
The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) provides a unified set of standards to streamline space system development and promote interoperability among international agencies. Our customers are leveraging Jama Connect® to comply with ECSS standards, resulting in enhanced collaboration, reduced risk, and mission success in the aerospace industry.
With Jama Connect, you can seamlessly manage these standards while maintaining full traceability and ensuring compliance throughout your projects.
Join us for this engaging webinar with Jama Software® experts Cary Bryczek – Director of Aerospace & Defense (A&D) Solutions and Martijn Janssen – Senior Solutions Consultant, provide a high-level overview of the ECSS standards, along with best practices for leveraging them within Jama Connect, including:
- ECSS Process workflows and how they align with processes managed within Jama Connect
- Establishing a ECSS Library in Jama Connect to provide a single–source of truth
- Explanation on how to tailor the ECSS requirements and leverage Jama Connect’s Reuse capability
Don’t miss the chance to unlock new efficiencies in your systems engineering processes and ensure your projects stay on track.
Below is an abbreviated transcript of our webinar.
Accelerate Your ECSS Standards Compliance
Cary Bryczek: Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us. My name is Cary Bryczek. I’ll be the moderator for today’s webinar, Accelerating Your Compliance with ECSS Standards inside Jama Connect.
I am Cary, the Director of Aerospace and Defense Solutions. I lead up a global team of industry and Jama Connect experts. For today’s webinar, first to speak is Martijn Janssen.
Martijn is a senior consultant at Jama Software. He has been working with PLM and requirements management solutions for over 15 years and is very proficient in not only Jama Connect, but the Siemens Industry Software solutions, as well as PTC Windchill. He currently works on implementing space-related systems such as satellites, launchers, and space-related components in the European Union for our Jama Connect partners. Martijn is a specialist in both systems engineering and information technologies. With that, I’ll pass it over to you, Martijn.

Martijn Janssen: Well, thank you for the introduction there, Cary. So, welcome everybody to our webinar on ECSS. I’m very excited today to introduce you to the way we manage ECSS standards within Jama Connect. Over the past couple of years, we’ve been working with a lot of customers on managing ECSS standards within our solutions, and today, we’re going to show you some examples on how we manage to do that. So, without further ado, I’m going to go over some of the ECSS standards, what it includes, what the use cases our customers face, and then afterwards, we’ll dive into the system and show you some of those use cases in action in Jama Connect. Let’s dive in to the presentation.
When we talk about ECSS, I presume many of you here already are aware, but for those of you that are not aware of ECSS, ECSS is a European corporation and it’s a collaboration between the ESA, the European Space Agency and many different other space agencies across the world to make sure that we have a single set of standards that we can use across companies working in the European space activities. Many of our customers around the world are looking to those standards, making sure they are compliant to them and working with those standards in different projects and at different levels. So, ECSS is a standard. You can find a lot of information on the website or ESA around the standards. They’re all there to be found if you’re not aware of them already.
The way that ECSS is organized and set up is something you will see in the standards on the website itself, but we also have the organization within our Jama Connect application. So, when we talk about the standards, the standards are divided into branches and disciplines. So, you will find, for example, the different branches on the top level there. So, for example, the space project management branch or the engineering branch, and below those branches, you will find a lot of disciplines detailed out per section and they are numbered in a specific way. Again, when we look into the demo, you will see a lot of those specific annotations come back and we maintain that same structure within Jama Connect.

Janssen: So many of our customers use a subset or a number of these standards in their Jama Connect application to make sure they are compliant and they are working towards the standards that ESA has set for these specific projects. So, the main structure in here is recognizable towards what is on the website and in the organization of ECSS. Outside of the actual organization of the disciplines and the branches, the disciplines themselves are even further, let’s say, detailed in documents and all these documents fall into one of those disciplines. So, for example, when we look at the discipline system engineering, you can see a large number of documents below that talking about different topics.
So, for example, on testing, on verification, on referencing, coordinate systems, all kinds of documents describing the standard, what you need to do to be compliant towards those standards. Now these documents are pulled into Jama Connect, and as you will see later on, we have all these documents available for you to start tracking and tracing compliance. So, the structure from a branch to a discipline to all the documents is something that you will recognize in the demo later on and where you can find and filter and search for certain topics that are numbered and maintained by the ESA. All right. So, that’s a little bit of a background behind the ECSS organizational diagram.
