Greetings, 

BLUF: Is there a source or product that lists all the means in which requirements flow into an program office? More specifically, for an aircraft platform?

I am trying to capture all avenues in which a program office sources its requirements. I want to believe that the sources of all requirements can help map out program processes from requirements verification/approval through delivery of capability or change. 

Some of which I've gathered include the platform/system specification, modification proposal (form 1067), deficiency reports, engineering change requests/proposals,  request for variance, configuration change proposals, mission needs statements, etc. 

All of these are either baseline requirements or changes to the baseline that can be consolidated in a single repository if we can map out each source.

The end state is trying to build a repeatable overarching process; streamlined and automated so the program is easier to manage; while growing Digital Material Management (DMM) capabilities. 

Thanks!

This isn't directly requirements related but wasn't sure the best topic to ask the question.  I am trying to locate what Regulation or Policy details the scope of a Post Fielding Training Assessment.  It may not even be called this any longer, but I've exhausted my searching skills and need some help finding details so I can start planning for one.  Thanks,  RH

Graves, George… January 24, 2024 - 09:53pm

We're in the middle of the design portion of a shipbuilding program and we're questioning a Military Standard that is referenced in the ship building specs. We cannot find a reference that says we have to include the MIL-STD and the standard itself says, "“This Standard applies to new surface ships….This standard is applicable to surface ships that must be XXX survivable.” So whom do I ask if this MIL-STD is applicable to my program? The CDD does not call out this survivability directly, but we've seen new requirements "added" with blanket applicability. How do I trace if this requirement is valid for my ship?

AoAs for DBS(BCAT)

June 26, 2024 - 12:20pm
QUESTION

I am looking for guidance surrounding Analysis of Alternatives as they relate to Defense Business Systems (i.e. BCAT). While I understand the benefit of performing an AoA regardless of Acq category, I imagine there are far less regulations surrounding BCAT considering they have a different lifecycle.

 I recently took RQM 1510 Analysis of Alternatives hoping to find the distinction I was looking for, but the best I got was a reference to: DoDI 5000.84, Analysis of Alternatives. The DoDI states “DoD Components will conduct AoAs for MDAPs” but doesn’t speak to ACAT/BCAT etc. This suggests that the AoA process is exactly the same which I do not believe to be true. Most all the resources I have reviewed either specific ACAT or nothing, with no reference to DBS/BCAT. This is causing me some heartburn and so I am hopeful you all can set me straight.

Any guidance or reference materiel you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Neuhaus, Bryan - CTR June 26, 2024 - 12:24pm

(from DAU Requirements Management Faculty)

Your question is a fantastic one, there is policy and language regarding AoAs and the MCA pathway but not much outside of that pathway.   

 In addition, the AoA is specifically and only required by law for MDAPs (by definition MDAPs are following the MCA Pathway).  The applicability by Title 10 is referenced in DoDI 5000.84 paragraph 1.2..  By policy (DoDI 5000.85) AoAs are required for all other MCA pathway programs (ACAT II - ACAT IV). 

 1.2. POLICY.  (5000.84)

DoD Components will conduct AoAs for MDAPs pursuant to Section 832 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, and in support of the certifications to be executed pursuant to Sections 2366a and 2366b of Title 10, United States Code.

 3.5. MDD.  (5000.85)

a. Purpose.

The MDD is the mandatory entry point into the major capability acquisition process and is informed by a validated requirements document (e.g., an initial capabilities document (ICD) or equivalent) and the completion of the analysis of alternatives (AoA) study guidance and the AoA study plan.

 AoA study guidance is attached to the ADM

 Glad to hear you acknowledge that an AoA (or some type of analysis) would be good for a DBS program, and we would agree since AoAs are prescriptive.  But, per DoDI 5000.84 the study guidance issued by CAPE for an MDAP program requires seven items that may not all be applicable to a DBS program, e.g. includes fully burdened cost of fuel.  But the conduct and execution of an AoA is tailorable to provide answers to decision makers as to which system the agency should pursue, and I would think that could be very valuable to a DBS program.  Engagement with the MDA for input would be valuable. 

 There is a phase of the BCAC that focuses on Solution Analysis but does not specifically mention an AoA.  Likewise, the AAFDID does not mention an AoA under the DBS pathway as well.

From the 5000.75:  Solution Analysis.

 The functional sponsor leads this phase with guidance from the appropriate CMO decision authority and support from the program manager and MDA. The objective of this phase is to determine the high-level business processes supporting the future capabilities to  maximize use of existing business solutions and minimize creation of requirements that can only be satisfied by a business system.

 (1) Phase Description.

(a) Future capabilities are based on reengineering the high-level future business processes that will deliver the capabilities. This includes selecting and tailoring commercial best practices to meet the needs of the end user community.

 (b) Definition of the future capabilities will include market analysis and research of other organizations with similar capabilities to identify processes that can be adopted.

(c) The functional sponsor must ensure funding is available to support the phase activities and must provide a plan for funding future phases, as appropriate. The availability of funding must be validated by the appropriate resource official prior to the Functional Requirements ATP.

 

 Of note, the BDS/BCAC (5000.75) Decision Authorities & Statutory Requirements do not highlight the AoA process or product either.  The iterative process of the BCAC is similar in design to the software acquisition process.  The SWA pathway (5000.87) has no mention of an AoA, but the embedded option implies that it may allow for the leveraging of analysis from the MCA pathway (a point to consider).   AoAs (or analysis in general) that were performed can be updated moving forward in the process.

 We hope this helps, If this is confusing feel free to call me to discuss.

Funding not associated with a program

QUESTION

My comptroller believes a program is not required to get funding to support our data center. We support the DOD with weather and have a system that was started as an ACAT 1M and an annual budget for procurement of about 10M to 20M depending on the year. Need some help trying to explain that if there wasn't a POR , the annual O&M and Procurement would not be in the budget.

SCENARIO
COMMENTS
Stanford, Blair March 8, 2024 - 06:40pm

The DAU glossary provides a definition of Program of Record (POR)   https://www.dau.edu/acquipedia-article/program-record-por

 

In practice however, people use the term Program of Record loosely. Some utilize the term Program of Record to mean anything within the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), while others view a Program of Record as a specific military acquisition program that has been approved by the DoD's acquisition authorities for development, production, and sustainment; these programs are often significant in scope, involving the development or procurement of major weapon systems, equipment, or services. 

 

So, context in using the term Program of Record is important. Using a narrow definition, the DoD funds many activities that would not be considered a Program of Record. 

 

Regardless of whether an activity/program is considered an official Program of Record or not, all DoD funding decisions are made through the DoD's annual Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process.  DoD component organizations participate in the submission of Program Objective Memorandums (POM) and Budget Estimate Submissions (BES) to request resources.  The activities/programs that the DoD decides to allocate resources to are listed in the Future Year Defense Program (FYDP). The two primary elements of a FYDP are the Program Element (PE) and Resource Identification Code (RIC).

 

For any resources your organization has, the budget documents will identify the associated Budget Line Item (BLI) for Procurement and the Activity Group /Sub Activity Group (AG/SAG) for Operation and Maintenance funding.

 

Does this answer your question?

Requirements Management Training & Certification Overview

REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT (RM) CERTIFICATION, TRAINING & CONSULTING POCs


 

 
 

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION: By Congressional Mandate (NDAA FY2007, Section 801), all DoD military & civilian personnel responsible for identifying warfighter capabilities and generating requirements for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) MUST be certified. DAU provides the training while the Services and Agencies do the actual certification.  As such, DoD uses four levels of RM Certification: Level A, B, C, and D as specified in the JCIDS Manual. The diagram below summarizes the relationship between RM certification levels, associated training, as well as a summary of the duties (NOTE: this varies between the Services and Agencies). 

RMCT Joint Training Standard 2021 as-is and 2022 recommendations.PNG  
 

LEVEL A: Contribute to Requirements generation and capability development in various capacities to include: Stating users’ needs, analysis, subject matter or domain expertise, document staffing and coordination, administrative support.

LEVEL B:  Write requirements and requirements documents; fill specific capacities to include: lead study elements, adjudicate comments, facilitate document development and coordination across organizations.

LEVEL C: Support the creation and staffing of requirements documents; train others on “Big A” acquisition topics; represent Services, Agencies, or CCMDS in requirements, acquisition, or resourcing forums; support presentations at Service-level or Functional Capability Boards (FCBs); lead or coordinate activities focused on requirements generation and capability development, including but not limited to: writing and editing capability requirements documents, participate in requirements related IPTs, significant role in requirements related studies and analysis.

LEVEL D: Validate and approve JCIDS documents; provide senior leadership and oversight of JCIDS analysis and staffing; enforce capability requirements standards and accountability.
