Technical Risk Mgmt Flashcards
(17 cards)
What are the Technical Processes that the Systems Engineer uses?
Stakeholder Requirements Definition, Requirements Analysis, Architecture Design, Transition, Validation, Verification, Integration, and Implementation
What are the 8 Technical Management Processes?
Decision Analysis, Technical Planning, Technical Assessment, Requirements Management, Risk Management, Configuration Management, Technical Data Management, Interface Management
In Test & Evaluation (T&E), what is verification?
determines whether or not the system meets its “build to” specifications. It’s usually associated with Developmental Testing (DT)
In Test & Evaluation (T&E) what is validation?
determines whether or not we “built the right thing”. Entails performance of the system in its intended (operational) environment. Usually associated with Operational Testing (OT)
What is a technical risk?
a subset of overall program risk - associated with evolution of the design and production of a system.
How do we deal with technical risk?
Identify, analyze, mitigate, and track the risks
What can simulation based acquisition do to benefit?
capability needs definition, concept refinement, design, manufacturing, and testing
What is a work breakdown structure (WBS)?
An output of the Systems Engineering Process that is a product-based description of a system.
What are the benefits of prototyping?
Reduce technical risk, validate designs & feasibility of design concepts, obtain early feedback from warfighter, refine performance requirements, identify cost drivers & obtain info on potential costs, investigate integration challenges, identify potential reliability and sustainability issues, validate new ways of using fielded equipment and technologies, validate changes to how systems are employed, and verify analytical models
How does WBS work?
1.) system architecture
2.) product breakdown
3.) process breakdown - training (equipment, services, and facilities)
For organizational processes, what does the WBS provide?
potential structure for IPTs
For technical processes, what does the WBS provide?
aids in the Statement of Work, contract line items (CLINs)
For business processes, what does the WBS provide?
structure for budgets, cost estimating, and reporting
How is technical performance is tracked? ?
through Technical Performance Measures (TPM)
What are Technical Performance Measures (TPM)?
key metrics used to estimate the performance progress of a system or its subsystems. They measure and track progress in high-risk areas and compare actual values against expected values.
