3. Today you will learn to (1 of 2):
Given an IT/SIS acquisition program, apply a cost estimation methodology to recommend appropriate strategies for budget execution within the legislation and guidance of PPBE.
Apply a cost estimation methodology to the analysis of an acquisition program to determine the status of budget execution throughout the acquisition life cycle,
Explain the DoD Systems Engineering Process in the context of an IT/SW Development.
Given a DoD acquisition scenario, apply laws and DoD directives to ensure successful IT systems management throughout the acquisition life cycle.
Given a description of an IT acquisition need, assess documentation to ensure specific information provides a clear understanding of the intended IT acquisition objectives from program outset.
Identify relevant considerations that influence the acquisition lifecycle of a software-reliant system.

6. Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction
PURPOSE: to reduce technology, engineering, integration, and life cycle cost risk to the point that a decision to contract for EMD can be made with confidence in successful program execution for development, production, and sustainment
ENTER: MDA approved materiel solution and Acquisition Strategy, initial major program documentation and funding in the FYDP
ACTIVITIES: Competitive prototyping of critical subsystems, SE Trade-off analysis, develop contracting strategy, conduct Capability Development Document (CDD) Validation conduct Preliminary Design Review (PDR), conduct Development Request For Proposal (RFP) Release Decision, begin source selection for Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD)
EXIT: Demonstration that risks have been adequately mitigated to support a commitment to design for production, Validated capability requirements, full funding in the Future Year Defense Plan (FYDP), and compliance with affordability goals for production and sustainment

9. JRATS and JTAMS Update
Joint Reconnaissance and Targeting System (JRATS)
Congrats, we passed Milestone A!
Please see the Milestone A ADM in your Job Aids.
We are now getting ready for Milestone B. First, we need to understand our requirements, create a build-to performance specification (System-Sub-System Specification (SSS)), create a Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) that supports the SSS, and an Interface Requirements Specification (IRS) that is the basis for our Allocated Baseline.
Our Focus will be on understanding the requirements and risks of a pre-milestone B JTAMS
You will analyze Requirements documents
Identify risks

13. Practicum 2 Instructions
Each team will develop the practicum solution slide package using the templated slides provided, the given scenario and the artifacts, and the Job Aids folder.
All slides will be submitted to the instructors electronically (Blackboard/Shared Drive) and hard copy (printed 2 slides per page and double sided)
Each team will designate a PM and Deputy PM to present the results of the analysis prepared by the team. The student templates identify specific slides to be included in the formal student presentation .
You will have 1.5 hours for research and development of the practicum solution. The PM and Deputy PM will have 5 minutes each to present their designated slides.
