DISTRIBUTION A.: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. SMDC #3139. DTRA #NT Faced With this Reality, What Needs to Be Done? If we can't get adequate funding,  We need to make smarter choices in what to fund. If we can't build things faster,  We need to build them more efficiently with less re-work. If we can't afford the full set of performance,  We should focus on the highest priority needs. If we can't afford to fail,  We must effectively identify and manage the risk. Culture Change: Adopt a Stage-Gate Process in the Development Phase and Incorporate a Systems Engineering-Based Criteria Set for Assessing Technology Maturity 4

DISTRIBUTION A.: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. SMDC #3139. DTRA #NT Consistency in Technology Development Planning  Requirements definition and plans for maturity advancement are not developed consistently or effectively.  No common set of tools and standards to gauge technology maturity. Improve the rate for Transitioning of Technologies  Transition not always considered as a part of Technology Development  Limited Customer/User identification/involvement 5 Establish “a management methodology that balances the portfolio by Incorporating Discipline and Rigor through the use of clear, well-defined and Measurable Metrics!” J.

DISTRIBUTION A.: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. SMDC #3139. DTRA #NT SMDC/DAU/DTRA Collaboration Project Breakthroughs A paradigm shift in Project and Portfolio Management has begun with the use of a SharePoint capability to : Plan Execute Communicate progress Assess technical maturity Manage risk A significant advance in the consistent SE product set (SE artifacts, metrics, Exit Criteria, & online SEM reports). Revolutionary changes to cultural norms evident by Increasing interest from (Senior-DoD) early-adopters to a software tool that can overcome resistance from the S&T community to apply SE principles. Enterprise Adoption facilitated by the pervasiveness of SharePoint throughout the DoD which allows for easy adoption and simplified IA requirement. DAU has recommended TPMM as a Systems Engineering best practice since DTRA Process Improvement effort has been recognized by AT&L Value Engineering Achievement Award. Best Practice

DTRA #NT Way-Ahead Use Systems Engineering-Based (TPMM) process to change the culture: Balance Technology Portfolio’s so that Priorities are aligned to Mission Strategy and Customer Needs are clearly identified and understood Improve Project Management Performance in the areas of requirements traceability, system engineering rigor, transition focus, maturity assessment, and in planning/execution/reporting Exchange “informational” calendar-driven Project Technical Reviews with “decisional” event-driven Reviews where technical progress is examined "as-needed" in accordance with a Project’s Lifecycle Plan. Increase Successful Transition of Technology by engaging Early Systems Engineering and aligning with Acquisition Authorities. Promote consistency in technical interpretation of TRL Maturity levels throughout the DoD S&T Enterprise and with Program Managers. Extend SE-Based practices for use in SBIR and IRAD Programs by tailoring the TPMM as applicable to that purpose. 17
