A Cost Capability Analysis (CCA) is an analytical tool used by Program Management to examine the cost and military utility. It allows for better understanding and decision-making of the effects of requirements on cost and capability. Purpose of Cost Capability Analysis (CCA) The purpose of a CCA is to support the delivery of cost-effective solutions …
Requirements Management is the process of documenting, analyzing, tracing, prioritizing, and controlling changes to requirements. It’s a continuous process and is conducted throughout a system’s life cycle and confirmed at each technical review. Purpose of Requirements Management The purpose is to assure that the requirements continue to meet the needs and expectations of its customers …
Derived Requirement are requirements that are not explicitly stated in the set of Stakeholder requirements, and yet is required to satisfy one or more of them. They also arise from constraints, consideration of issues implied but not explicitly stated in the requirements baseline, factors introduced by the selected architecture, Information Assurance (IA) requirements, and the …
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 …
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, …
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 but by the program office. It should include a system-level description of all software elements …
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 …
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. …
Figure: JCIDS Requirements Sequencing 1. The Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) is the most common starting point for new capability requirements. [1] Once validated, the ICD typically leads to an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and then the Capability Development Document (CDD) and Capability Production Document (CPD) for the development of a materiel capability solution. An ICD …
One of the key assurance activities for any project is expert evaluation and assessment of the requirements. The requirements need to be evaluated by multiple people with varying expertise, in order to identify incorrect, ambiguous, and incomplete requirements. A System Requirements Review (SRR) is one way to accomplish this evaluation. A fundamental question for requirements …
