## Change Request Number: 06-25 

## 

## Date Received: 3/7/06

**Title:** GAO Findings Response and Standard FAA Program Milestones

# **Name:** David Woodson

**Routing Symbol:** ATO-A, Acquisition and Procurement Policy Branch

**Phone:** 267-7601

**Policy OR Guidance:** Guidance

**Section/Text Location Affected:** Multiple

**Summary of Change:** This change proposal includes the following:

Guidance

1.  Establishes guidance for evolutionary product development.

2.  Establishes guidance for the FAA's knowledge-based product
    development process for systems.

3.  Establishes guidance that identifies and defines standard program
    milestones for systems (sheet 1) and facilities (sheet 2).

4.  Adds to the introduction of the contracting module in the
    developmental hardware and/or software process flowcharts the
    requirement to include in any prime contract for system development
    those deliverables necessary for an investment program to satisfy
    decision criteria for transition from product integration to product
    demonstration and from product demonstration to full production.

5.  Modifies the development process flowcharts in FAST for
    developmental hardware and/or software to add the product
    demonstration decision.

6.  Modifies the implementation process flowcharts in FAST for
    developmental hardware and/or software to add the production
    decision.

**Reason for Change:** GAO Report 05-23, FAA's Acquisition Management
Has Improved, but Policies and Oversight Need Strengthening to Help
Ensure Results, made the following recommendations for improving the FAA
Acquisition Management System:

1.  Develop explicit written criteria for key decision points called for
    under best practices ^1^, including the capture of specific design
    and manufacturing knowledge

2.  Require corporate executive-level decisions at these key decision
    points (before an acquisition moves from integration to
    demonstration and again before it moves to production)

^1^ GAO Report 02-701, Best Practices, Capturing Design and
Manufacturing Knowledge Early Improves Acquisition Outcomes.

The FAA Acquisition Executive agreed to implement the decision points
and associated criteria, but stated that the decision-maker would be the
Vice President or Director of the implementing service organization, as
appropriate.

The change request also includes standard FAA program milestones
requested by the ASAG Secretariat.

**Development, Review, and/or Concurrence:** Policy and guidance was
developed by the GAO Response Team, established by the ASAG, with
representatives from ATO-A, ATO-F, ATO-P, ATO-E, ATO-T, ATO-W, and ATO
Quality Assurance.

**Target Audience:** AMS workforce

**Potential Links within FAST for the Change:** Multiple links between
the new policy and guidance.

| **System Process Flowcharts / System Development Work Activities**    |
| ~(Revised\ 10/2005)~                                                  |
|                                                                       |
|  **Industry / Government Partnership**                                |
|                                                                       |
| System development work activities span the period from the final     |
| investment decision to the completion of the Design Qualification     |
| Test when the government accepts the development product from the     |
| contractor. The most important event in this entire process is        |
| selection of the developmental contractor and formation of the        |
| government / industry partnership. Both the government and contractor |
| are stakeholders in the process, and it is vitally important to       |
| establish and maintain a positive working relationship. Neither can   |
| succeed without the other, and each has its own challenges and        |
| constraints.                                                          |
|                                                                       |
| The government is the customer and senior partner in the enterprise.  |
| The government brings all team members to the table and integrates    |
| the diverse activities associated with system development,            |
| implementation, and lifecycle support. As the government's agent, the |
| Service Team focuses on technical leadership, the government /        |
| industry partnership, and overall program integration and management. |
| Contractors and subcontractors, on the other hand, focus more on the  |
| very detailed engineering aspects of the system and its interfaces.   |
|                                                                       |
| Development contractors are faced with certain very real constraints  |
| that the Service Team must allow for. Companies cannot afford to have |
| large teams of engineers sit idle waiting for a contract they may not |
| receive. A significant amount of time is needed after contract award  |
| to form the developmental team. This effort is especially important   |
| during the initial phases of a system development, and is seldom      |
| taken into account by the government when planning contract           |
| schedules. The Service Team needs to recognize this condition and     |
| allow time for the contractor to \'gear up\'.                         |
|                                                                       |
| Government planners must also allow adequate time for a thorough      |
| analysis of requirements. In an effort to meet unrealistic early      |
| milestone dates, contractors often short change this analysis and     |
| fail to achieve a clear, mutual understanding of requirements with    |
| the government. Studies have shown conclusively that omissions        |
| occurring in the requirements analysis phase have a                   |
| disproportionately greater effect on program cost and schedule than   |
| errors occurring in later phases. As a rule of thumb, it costs ten    |
| times as much to fix a problem after production than during design    |
| and development.                                                      |
|                                                                       |
| **Management and Assessment of the Engineering Development Process**  |
|                                                                       |
| Programs rarely fail because of deficiencies in technology. Most      |
| failures stem directly from inadequate management. Everyone involved  |
| in program management must take a \"proactive\" role to ensure the    |
| deployment of a successful system. Each government employee must      |
| think beyond his or her individual piece of the system and take       |
| action to identify and meet challenges before they enlarge into       |
| serious problems. It is tempting to get down into the details and     |
| sometimes it is necessary. But Service Team members must take a       |
| broader view, and should perform the critical higher-level tasks of   |
| managing, assessing, integrating, and taking action to solve problems |
| when they arise.                                                      |
|                                                                       |
| It is *critically* important for the Service Team to insist on        |
| successful completion of early development activities, such as design |
| of the system architecture and completion of critical design, and not |
| allow the program to progress for the sake of \"maintaining           |
| schedule\". Proceeding to such activities as source code development  |
| without a sound overall system / software architecture usually        |
| results in a great deal of fruitless work, and has resulted in        |
| complete failure of entire investment programs.                       |
|                                                                       |
| The key to a successful system investment program is the integration  |
| of all associated engineering disciplines into an efficient, coherent |
| process that achieves the development of equipment that meets user    |
| requirements. Even when there is an \"integrating contractor\", the   |
| government must work very hard at achieving harmonious orchestration. |
| The engineering management process depicted in this section governs   |
| and controls product development. It addresses all key aspects of     |
| total system performance (such as security, logistics support, and    |
| configuration management), and provides a technical baseline for      |
| program planning and execution. Its primary function is to provide a  |
| management and engineering framework with which the Service Team can  |
| structure developmental activity that will result in a product that   |
| meets cost, schedule, and performance objectives over the entire      |
| product lifecycle.                                                    |
|                                                                       |
| The following are examples of contractor activities that Service Team |
| members will find themselves overseeing and guiding during this       |
| intricate and detailed process:                                       |
|                                                                       |
| -   Trade-off studies among requirements (operational, functional,    |
|     performance), design alternatives (and their related              |
|     manufacturing, testing, and support processes), schedule, and     |
|     lifecycle cost;                                                   |
|                                                                       |
| -   Risk management to identify, evaluate, assess, and mitigate       |
|     potential sources of risk associated with the contractor's        |
|     design, manufacture, test, and support approach;                  |
|                                                                       |
| -   Configuration management of system products, processes, and       |
|     related documentation. This effort includes identifying,          |
|     documenting, and verifying the functional and physical            |
|     characteristics of an item; recording its configuration; and      |
|     controlling changes to the item and its documentation;            |
|                                                                       |
| -   Integrated data management to capture and control the technical   |
|     baseline (configuration documentation, technical data, and        |
|     technical manuals); provide traceability among requirements,      |
|     designs, decisions, rationale, and other related program          |
|     planning, reporting, and support configuration procedures; and    |
|     serve as a ready reference for the systems engineering effort;    |
|                                                                       |
| -   The determination of metrics for use as measures of technical     |
|     progress relative to what was planned in the areas of             |
|     performance, risk mitigation, cost, and schedule. Performance     |
|     measures must be traceable to performance parameters in the       |
|     Program Requirements attachment to the Exhibit 300 Program        |
|     Baseline and System Specification;                                |
|                                                                       |
| -   The establishment of interface controls to ensure changes to all  |
|     internal and external interface requirements are properly         |
|     recorded and communicated to all affected configuration items;    |
|     and                                                               |
|                                                                       |
| -   The development of a structured review process that demonstrates  |
|     and confirms completion of required accomplishments and their     |
|     exit criteria, as defined in program planning.                    |
|                                                                       |
| **Assessing and Reporting Progress**                                  |
|                                                                       |
| Rigorous internal program control systems are essential to effective  |
| and accountable program management. They enable acquisition functions |
| to be performed efficiently and effectively by maximizing the use of  |
| resources. The focus should be on results, not process. One key to    |
| tracking cost, schedule, and technical performance is the application |
| of Earned Value Management. Another is to ensure the individuals      |
| responsible for day-to-day management of the acquisition contract     |
| have ownership of and are responsible for their elements of the Work  |
| Breakdown Structure. When this approach is taken, the Service Team is |
| more likely to achieve full integration of cost, schedule, and        |
| technical performance within the quantifiable terms of earned value   |
| -- and not just rely on the completion of technical or schedule       |
| events or milestones.                                                 |
|                                                                       |
| One of the most important outputs of Earned Value Management is       |
| reliable, timely, and quantifiable data that enables the Service Team |
| Lead to accurately determine the Estimate at Complete (EAC).          |
| Historically, a lack of understanding of information in Contract      |
| Performance Reports or the processes and methodology used to generate |
| them have made it difficult for the Service Team Lead to make         |
| critical program decisions. Knowing how the contractor earns value    |
| for a particular element of work allows the Service Team to manage    |
| their areas of responsibility with confidence.                        |
|                                                                       |
| **Providing Direction**                                               |
|                                                                       |
| Sound direction from the government comes only from accurate          |
| assessment of where the program is compared to where it is supposed   |
| to be. Periodic program management reviews using Earned Value         |
| Management techniques provide a mechanism for determining where you   |
| are. With this information, the Service Lead can provide confident    |
| direction to each contractor and team member involved in the          |
| development program.                                                  |
