👉 Opening engineering refers to the foundational phase of a project that establishes the core principles, objectives, and technical requirements before detailed design and development begin. It involves defining the problem to be solved, identifying key stakeholders, and laying out the high-level architecture and system boundaries. This phase includes conducting feasibility studies, gathering initial data, and creating preliminary models or prototypes to validate assumptions and guide subsequent phases. The goal is to set a clear direction, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure that all team members are aligned on the project's vision and constraints. Effective opening engineering is crucial for avoiding costly rework, ensuring project success, and facilitating smooth transitions into more detailed engineering and development stages.
