Compliance Action
Documentation
As of MS A
As of MS B 1
Make a determination that the acquisition supports core, priority functions of the DoD.
ICD Approval, 27 Oct FY0 2
Establish outcome-based performance measures linked to strategic goals. 3
Redesign the processes that the system supports to reduce costs, improve effectiveness and maximize the use of commercial off-the-shelf technology.
AoA Approval Jul FY0 and AS Approval, Aug FY0 4
Determine that no private sector or government source can better support the function.
AoA Approval Jul FY0 and AS Approval Aug FY0 5
Conduct Analysis of Alternatives
AoA Approval Jul FY0 6
Conduct an economic analysis that includes a calculation of the return on investment; or for non-AIS programs, conduct a lifecycle cost estimate.
Cost estimate developed ; affordability analysis working 7
Develop clearly established measures and accountability for program progress.
Working measures program 8
Ensure that the acquisition is consistent with the DoD Information Enterprise policies and architecture, to include relevant standards.
Draft on path for Success 9
Ensure that the program has a Cybersecurity Strategy that is consistent with DoD policies, standards and architectures, to include relevant standards.
Cyber Security Strategy 10
10. Ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, (1) modular contracting has been used, and (2) the program is being implemented in phased, successive increments each of which meets part of the mission need and delivers measurable benefit, independent of future increments.
Modular Contracting N/A; Acquisition Strategy Aug FY0 11

6. CR-IPT Requirements Analysis (Summary of Changes and Impact on JTAMS)
Identify JTAMS requirements that have changed from the DRAFT CDD to the new Final DRAFT CDD
CDD Changes
Impacts
Status Reporting: Move to increment 2: Whatever sub-system is causing the mission to be in jeopardy shall be clearly shown on the JCCS display (move to Increment 2)
Cost: cost reduction for increment 1
Schedule: positive schedule variance for increment 1
Performance: performance reduction for increment 1
PRACTICUM 1
See PRACTICUM 1 Situation and Artifacts; Job Aids/Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS)
Your CR-IPT is focused on understanding the full requirements for the JTAMS project. Analyze the requirements and capabilities documents to better understand JTAMS requirements. These documents include the ICD and the DRAFT CDD. You have some friends at the Joint Staff who just sent you what they are calling a “Final Draft” CDD which has not been formally released.
 Your task is to identify those JTAMS capabilities and requirements that have changed from the DRAFT CDD to this new Final DRAFT CDD. Explain the impact/trade-off made of these changes on the JTAMS program in terms of Cost/Schedule/Performance.

7. Revised Cost Analysis (EMD)
Compute the EMD costs for MRES and update the total JTAMS cost
V-Robotics Cost Estimate is
Overall SW Development Cost for the JTAMS is $
SW O&S for JTAMS for 15 years is $
JTAMS Life Cycle Costs are $
Robots-R-Us Cost Estimate is
Overall SW Development Cost for JTAMS is $
SW O&S for JTAMS for 15 years is $
JTAMS Life Cycle Costs are $
Recommendation:
Why?
PRACTICUM 1
See PRACTICUM 1 Situation and Artifacts and info in the Job Aids/Budget Documents
Compute the EMD costs for MRES and update the total JTAMS cost
Use the Cost Estimation Tool provided and updated knowledge of Juggernaut’s, V-Robotic’s and Robots-R-Us’ attributes to change the model parameters as needed
Note that the maintenance costs come from the cost estimator – use the “view Maintenance Calculation”
Provide the updated JTAMS-MRES Cost Estimates for V-Robotics and Robots-R-Us
Make a recommendation on vendor selection – Identify key reasons for your vendor selection
SEE THE ARTIFACT INFORMATION FOR SLIDE 8 (PP 17, 18)
USE THE SPREADSHEET IN THE JOB AIDS/BUDGET DOCUMENTS FOLDER : JTAMS CE Spreadsheet for EMD 2017
USE THE DAU COST ESTIMATOR WITH THE FILE “JTAMS_Prac1 V18mar15.COCOMO.II”

8. Measurement Analysis Focus on MS B and the TMRR Phase
Identify three additional information needs for the TMRR Phase
For one information need you identified, identify a measurable concept, the base measure, and the measurement methods
Information Need
Rationale
Is the project meeting scheduled milestones (PDR and SSR)?
Actual versus planned milestones – for decisions concerning resources and to identify potential Schedule risk
Information Need Description
Information Need
Information Category
Measurable Concept
Base Measure Specification
Base Measures
Measurement Methods
PRACTICUM 1
See PRACTICUM 1 Situation and Artifacts AND Job Aids; ICM table and Measurement Spec Template Identify appropriate information needs for this stage of development.
REFERENCES:
READ THE SCENARIO AND DEVELOP INFORMATION NEEDS, etc
– USE THE MEASURES LESSON/EXERCISES FOR REFERENCE; see artifact pp 19

9. Security Control Analysis
Explain the role and importance of Security Controls
Describe control AC-6
Provide an overview of Needlines 5 and 6:
Which AC-6 controls should be implemented?
Explain how implementation of these controls may improve the security posture of JTAMS
PRACTICUM 1
See PRACTICUM 1 Situation and Artifacts
NIST Special Publication Revision 4: Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations: APPENDIX F, SECURITY CONTROL CATALOG: SECURITY CONTROLS, ENHANCEMENTS, AND SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE (Page 157)
Given the OV-2 NL’s (need lines) developed during the Architecture Exercise (see the JTAMS OV-2 in the artifact) , explain how implementing AC-6 and the related controls could be important to the overall security architecture of JTAMS. Limit the discussion to NL’s 5 and 6, assume Priority 1 and the moderate initial control baseline is being implemented.
SEE ARTIFACT PP

10. Summary of Readiness for Milestone B
Readiness for SFR, SSR, PDR and Milestone B?
SSS-1?
CDD-1 Validation?
RFP Decision?
PDR INC 1?
RDP Approved?
PPP updated?
Recommendation?
PRACTICUM 1 scenario/artifact and documents available (or absent) from the job Aids
Much of the assessment can be made from reading the situation. Ensure you identify specific actions/events that need to take place to get to MSB in your recommendation.
