DCR ARB DCR ARB Session Outline (x,y): (presentation time, total time) (5, 5) Acceptance Test Plan and Cases; Things done right; open issues to address (Remote Team member) (5, 5) OCD. System purpose; changes in current system and deficiencies, proposed new system, system boundary, and desired capabilities and goals; top-level scenarios (5,10) Prototype Update. Changes in significant capabilities (especially those with high risk if gotten wrong) (5, 10) SSRD. ALL high priority or changes in requirements; rating for all others (10, 15) Architecture. Overall and detailed architecture; design if critical; COTS/reuse selections (NOT JUST CHOICES) (10, 15) Life Cycle Plan. Focus on 577b (no history) or ? as appropriate; Include plans for CTS initial cycle “Plans” during 2nd Foundations Iteration Team members’ roles & responsibilities in 577b. (5, 10) Feasibility Rationale. Refined business case; major risks; general discussion (0, 5) Feedback from Instructors • Plan on 2 minutes per briefing chart, except title • Focus on changes (particularly new things) since FCR • You may vary from the above: please notify ARB board members IN ADVANCE • QFP & QMP not presented/discussed due to time constraints. 11/20/2009 (c) 2000-2009 5
