Technical Requirements Document (TRD)

Note: Technical Requirements Document (TRD) is no longer in use and was replaced by the System Requirements Document (SRD) A Technical Requirements Document (TRD) was a requirements document that was put together by the government that addressed technical level requirements for a system. It accompanied a Request for Proposal (RFP) and provided a better technical […]

Weapon System Specifications (WSS)

A Weapons Systems Specification (WSS) is a list of detailed requirements that are developed by the contractor during the development of a weapons system. It provides more detailed information about the weapon system than the government-provided Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and Capabilities Development Document (CDD). The WSS is what’s actually used during the development, design,

System Requirements Document (SRD)

The System Requirement Document (SRD) defines system-level functional and performance requirements for a system. The SRD is derived from the Capability Development Document (CDD), Concept of Operations (CONOPS), system-level performance metrics, mission threads/use cases, and usage environment and is developed by the program office.  It should include a system-level description of all software elements required

Summary Level Planning Package (SLPP)

  A Summary Level Planning Package (SLPP) is an aggregation of work for far-term efforts, not able to be identified at the Control Account (CA) level, which can be assigned to reporting level Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements (and is therefore not “Undistributed Budget”). [1]   SLPP are used to establish high-level holding accounts for

To Complete Performance Index (TCPI)

The To Complete Performance Index (TCPI) is a comparative Earn Value Management (EVM) metric used primarily to determine if an independent estimate at completion is reasonable. It computes the future required cost efficiency needed to achieve a target Estimate at Completion (EAC). TCPI Definition: The To Complete Performance Index (TCPI) is a measure of the

Standardization

Standardization is the process of developing and implementing technical standards.  The process establishes a common agreement for engineering criteria, terms, principles, practices, materials, items, processes, and equipment parts, and components. An organization can benefit from standardization because it: [2,4] Enables mass production Enables customization Improves supplier coordination Improves quality Enables simplification Enables delayed differentiation Lowers

Performance Measurement Baseline

The Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) is an important tool in earned value management used by Program Managers and Systems Engineers in the Technical Assessment Process to appraise a program’s technical progress.  It includes the undistributed budget, all summary level planning package budgets, and all control account budgets but does not include management reserve. It establishes

Requirements Tracing

Requirements Tracing is one of the processes in Requirements Management; documenting, analyzing, tracing, prioritizing, and controlling. Tracing is conducted throughout a system’s life cycle and confirmed at each technical review for all new and old requirements. The purpose is to assure that the requirements continue to meet the needs and expectations of its customers and Stakeholders.
