1 Transitioning Systems Engineering Research into Programs and Practice NDIA 17 th SE Annual Conference 2014 Presented by: Lisa Graf, PM RDECOM Integrated Systems Engineering Framework (ISEF) 30 Oct 2014

2 Transitioning Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) Into Practical Application Wayne State University and TARDEC/RDECOM Effort 2

3 Systems Engineering Research Co-Development With and Transition to End-Users Collaboration between WSU/SERC and TARDEC/RDECOM Goal: Develop practical and relevant risk leading indicators Credible and sensible Based on evidence/data available in a timely manner Point to mitigation actions to reduce risk exposure Consistent with PMO perspectives on system development maturity and risk tradeoffs Approach Co-develop with risk managers and TARDEC risk management team Use evidence from data in standard CDRL items and reporting requirements Base risk leading indictors on (1) evaluation criteria and development program maturity indicators and risk considerations in representative RFPs, (2) NDIA system development leading indicators, and (3) GAO guidelines and best practices Pilot on a current Program of Record ( on hold while the program is in source selection)

4 Systems Engineering Research Co-Development with and Transition to End-Users An Early Contribution RFP clearly viewed development maturity as primary criteria to address risk Contract reporting did not provide data to track maturity advancement against actual and planned time and cost Lack of information creates risk exposure SE R&D produced a method to link maturity advancement stages, cost and schedule reporting using the standard reporting tools and requirements Converted RFP maturity advancement stages to IMP events/accomplishments/criteria Methods and tools that don t apply to acquisition programs, that need input data that does not exist, that are hard to use, or don t support program decisions will not get used and will not make a difference Co-development with end-users and pilot application to acquisition programs ensures the Systems Engineering Research yields practical and relevant results that can be transitioned into use

5 Systems Engineering Research Co-Development with and Transition to End-Users Desired End State Utilizing Feedback from the pilot program, the goal is to transition the processes and methodologies to programs for their usage Develop a capability and tool for the RDECOM Integrated Systems Engineering Framework (ISEF), as part of the risk reduction practice Leverage programmatic data in the framework Provide the tools from which to extract the data Leverage knowledge patterns from program to program Provide a dashboard for easy insight into program health and risk.
