Select a Systems Engineering case study to research and study. Example case studies are found on the following Web site :

http://www.afit.edu/ENV/doclib.cfm?dl=96

Here is a resource for the Friedman-Sage Framework that will be needed for your case studies: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a468062.pdf

Lessons learned is the knowledge often obtained from participation in real-world activities, such as a project or assignment. Often, lessons learned are discussed after a project or assignment to help improve future processes. 

In your own words, describe and summarize your top 3 lessons learned from the case study for the week. 
The Friedman-Sage Framework can be used as a framework for your lessons learned paper. (Detailed information on the use of the Friedman-Sage Framework is found in the case studies.) For example, when evaluating your case study, determine how the Friedman-Sage Framework was used. You might find that a part of the model was used effectively, or you might find that a part of the model was not used effectively in your case study. You can use the model to help make suggestions concerning your case study.  
Your top 3 lessons learned should include proposed system engineering practices that would support mitigation that you find necessary by studying the case study.
Your lessons learned paper should also include the good and bad system engineering practices that you observed in the case study.  

Following are phases of the Friedman-Sage Framework. Visit the Web site to see the detailed explanation of this framework (Air Force Center for Systems Engineering, n.d.):

Requirements Definition and Management
Systems Architecture Development
System/Subsystem Design
Validation/Verification
Risk Management
Systems Integration & Interfaces
Life Cycle Support
Deployment and Post Deployment
System and Program Management
