Business Process Reengineering - Raines Rules requires that before new systems are fielded that the business process owners simplify or otherwise redesign their existing processes before they invest in new IT to support the process. The results of any work process redesign or BPR activities should be presented. The approach taken for management of the project should be discussed. The manner in which cost, schedule, and performance will be monitored and tracked should be discussed. A chart showing the major milestones throughout the life cycle should be a part of the project management plan.
Graphical depictions are helpful here.
Funding - The sources of funding that will support the investment throughout its life cycle should be identified. Risk Management Plan - Provide the documentation that describes the plan for identifying and mitigating risks associated with the investment. Security Plan - An evaluation of the security issues relative to the proposed investment should be presented along with a plan for addressing them. Acquisition Plan - The procurement or acquisition strategy should be discussed, including the use of modular design, performance based contract, and the sharing of risk between the Government and the Contractor. The use of pilot projects, phasing, or prototypes should be examined.
