1. DRAFT Implementation Guide
Gary Stanley
September 2012
Workshop

2. Purpose of Guide General Observations Policy alone is not enough
The Deskbook defines the MRL Process, but falls short on "how to implement within the acquisition and S&T process"
An Implementation Guide is needed
Aimed at providing the Government User a better understanding on why and how to implement the MRL process
Provides Industry with a more consistent Gov’t approach in implementing MRLs

3. Format Each Chapter Targets a specific S&T and Acquisition Phase
S&T, MSA, TD, EMD, LRIP, FRP and O&S
Allows User to focus on his specific needs
Content in each Chapter
Policy Requirements, if applicable, that relate to MRL Outputs
Purpose of MRLs
Use of MRLs
Key Activities and Documents that should address MRLs
Expected Results
Using MRLs in Decision Process
Supporting Milestone Reviews

There is some Duplication between Phases in the Guide
