LOG204 (DL) Configuration Management Bruce Hatlem Logistics Functional IPT June 26, 2007

2 Background FIPT Recommendations –DAU Proceed with FY05 migration from classroom to distance learning –Pursue joint LOG-SYS designation to broaden target audience –Logistics FIPT Approve Approach and Provide Course Content Inputs –Strong FIPT/DACM endorsement of course to workforce after migration

3 Assumptions CM is an important logistics competency Interest remains, and students see value Need for government life cycle logistician insight continues in PBL environment LOG 204 course material has broader applicability than just life cycle logisticians, including SPRDE professionals & program managers Migration to DL offers greater potential for increased student participation  Mitigates reduced travel budgets for in-residence courses  Precludes problems with personnel being out of the office for course LOG 204 course material should continue to be available to DoD workforce Current course content is solid, with modifications required to maintain currency Existing course material will serve as foundation of a future distance learning version of this course

4 Course Objectives Apply Configuration Management oversight as a tool in the Integrated Process and Product Development effort for System Management. Given a scenario, utilize Integrated Process & Product Development approach to manage configuration for a system during its life cycle.

10 Updates Implement USMC Dec 02 Logistics FIPT Recommendation to “assign dual labeling status (i.e. SYS 204) in addition to LOG 204.” Expand: –Configuration Management “basics” –Software Configuration Management –Private Sector best practices/processes –Integrated configuration management of software and hardware issues –Interaction of MIL HDBK 61A, EIA 836, EIA 649A and EIA 859. –PBL/PSI configuration management & data management relationship/interaction –Integrated product data environment (vice separate management of CM data & other technical data) Update current verbiage from: –Defense Acquisition Guidebook – SE ( ) & Life Cycle Logistics Chapters ( ) –Chapter 4 Draft “Performance Based Logistics: Program Manager’s Product Support Guide” –ANSI/EIA 649A, Configuration Management (and HDBK 649, Configuration Management under development) –ISO 10007, Quality Management – Guidelines for configuration management –EIA 836, Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability

11 Terminal Learning Objectives Lesson 1: CM Introduction - Given a specific situation, correctly relate the role and interrelationships of the key elements of Configuration Management (CM) (e.g. CM Planning, Identification, Status Accounting, Audits, Control, and Data Management) Lesson 2: CM Contribution to SE - Provided a scenario, distinguish the role of CM in the SE Process Lesson 3: CM Requirements During a Life Cycle - Given a case exercise, explain how CM concepts, definitions, principles, and applications are applied within the system life cycle. Lesson 4: Configuration Identification - Given a scenario, identify Configuration Items and interfaces for a proposed system. Lesson 5: Data Management - Given a scenario, identify, determine, and analyze CM data requirements. Lesson 6: Configuration Status Accounting (CSA) - Given a scenario, build a status accounting system Lesson 7: Audits / Verification - Given a set of alternatives, differentiate among Functional & Physical Configuration Audits (FCA / PCA) & technical reviews

12 Terminal Learning Objectives Lesson 8: Configuration Control - Given a scenario, control the configuration of a system throughout its life cycle, including: –Develop, assess and justify an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) / Request for Deviation (RFD) –Review an ECP/RFD and recommend actions for the configuration manager –Determine the implementation method for a change Lesson 9: Software Configuration Management (SCM) - Given a scenario, prepare / review SCM documentation Lesson 10: Managing CM Programs - Performance Metrics - Given a scenario, select performance metrics to manage a CM program Lesson 11: CM Planning - Given a scenario, develop & review a CM plan for a Contractor & a Government program office Lesson 12: Managing CM Programs - Given a scenario, develop a structure for a CM program
