2. Tab 1 - Introduction General/Flag Officers and Senior Executive Service personnel who successfully complete this course will: –Recognize requirements management within the context of a “Big A” acquisition construct and the related processes –Analyze how today’s requirements and capabilities for the warfighter are conceived, developed, tested, and acquired –Relate the roles of stakeholders responsible for clarification, approval, and advocacy for the warfighter 2 RQM 403 Outcomes

3. Tab 1 - Introduction Section 801 of FY 2007 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) –Establish a certification program for DoD personnel responsible for generating requirements for major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) –Certify by September 30, 2008 –The certification program should address: Interrelationship between requirements, PPBE, and acquisition; Developing joint operations requirements; Early baselining of program requirements and “the adverse effect” of changing or adding requirements; and Importance of technology maturity and alternatives 3 Why Train and Certify Requirements Managers?

7. Tab 1 - Introduction7 Big “A” Acquisition Small “a” Acquisition Big “A” Acquisition Resources (PPBE) Defense Acquisition System (DAS) Requirements (JCIDS) Strive for the overlap! Get JCIDS, DAS, and PPBE to work together Funding instability Insufficient resource trade space Budget not properly phased or of insufficient magnitude to support planned development Immature technologies Inadequate systems engineering Inadequate requirements flow-down, traceability, or decomposition Insufficient schedule trade space Inadequate implementation of Earned Value Management System Lack of time and assets for testing Lack of JROC-validated requirements documents for basic program (ICD, CDD, CPD) Inadequate requirements for basic program and any increments Requirements “creep” Critical dependence on external programs with developmental issues Inter- and intra-departmental stakeholder coordination and support

8. Tab 1 - Introduction8 Perception is Reality Resources (PPBE) Defense Acquisition System Requirements Little Overlap Limited Communications Poor Agreement

9. Tab 1 - Introduction Requirements Manager: A military Service member or DoD civilian charged with assessing, developing, validating, and prioritizing requirements and associated requirements products through the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) Requirements Managers act for the warfighters –To the requirements generation process (JCIDS) –To the "Big A" acquisition community Establish and maintain communications –DoD includes many different points of view –Every manager and decision maker needs a common understanding of what the warfighters need The Requirements Manager must advocate effective solutions while avoiding “Requirements Creep” 9 Definition and Roles of the Requirements Manager Work with JCIDS, DAS, and PPBE to deliver capabilities to the Warfighter

10. Tab 1 - Introduction Analysis: Determine requirements –Identify what the warfighter needs to do –Requirements and not “Desirements” Document: Communicate requirements –Develop JCIDS documents –Staff and validate those documents Prioritize Oversee the DAS and PPBE capability delivery –Reinforce process discipline –Avoid “Requirements Creep” 10 What Does an RM Do?

11. Tab 1 - Introduction The purpose of all DAU training is to improve acquisition outcomes How do RMs improve acquisition outcomes? –Analyze –Document –Staff and validate –Prioritize –Coordinate with the DAS and with PPBE What certifications / qualifications do RMs need? *How can DAU help the decision makers? –What does DAU need to do to make today worthwhile? –What follow-up assistance will help? *How can DAU help the people who work for you? 11 Recurring Questions * Further discussion during RQM 403 Wrap-Up

16. Tab 1 - Introduction 1.If we ask for the wrong thing,  We will get the wrong thing 2.If we present our needs poorly,  We will get the wrong thing 3.If we don’t follow up to be sure we get what we need from the DAS and from PPBE,  We will get the wrong thing All systems use development, procurement, and sustainment funds All systems use training time, personnel costs, test facilities, operations, and maintenance 16 Simple Facts Get it right the first time! We do not have time or money to waste

17. Tab 1 - Introduction Our readiness is only as good as the clarity of our documented requirements If the requirement dies, the capability dies! –If the Requirement doesn’t roll, the capability doesn’t roll –If the Requirement sinks, the capability sinks –If the Requirement stalls, crashes, and burns; the capability stalls, crashes, and burns –If the Requirement loses the beachhead, the capability loses the war! 17 The Requirements Manager is Integral to a GREAT Program The Requirements Manager Is the Voice of the Warfighter!
