Assessing SysE Effectiveness in Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs): Support Surveys Dan Ingold, USC-CSSE 29 November 2008

EM “Survey” Instruments Two web-/PDF-based “surveys” now in place EM set exposure, familiarity and use – Participants: industry, government, academia – Short survey, seeking experience with EM sets – Presently distributed only to limited audience – Finding individual metrics used, less so for EM sets EM evaluation form – Participants: Task 1 EM team members – Detailed survey, requires in-depth evaluation of EM’s – Evaluation still in progress, too early to expect results

Exposure to EM sets Only two EM sets used (one by DoD, other by industry) Even in limited audience, EM sets not widely used Several have no exposure at all Some “union of EM sets” might be required
