This chapter has presented a number of guidelines and conventions that should be followed to ensure that the diagrams in a SysML model have a common look and feel. These guidelines are a starting point only; feel free to use them, but remember that any such guidelines should be tailored to the needs of your organisation. Producing a SysML modelling standard that is incorporated into the reader's systems engineering Processes is to be encouraged as a way of enforcing the guidelines.
