The document outlines a framework for project-driven organizations that emphasizes the connection between strategy, performance management, and project success, detailing the importance of systematic organizational processes. It discusses the various components and phases of project management, including planning, defining user capabilities, system requirements, development, testing, and sustainment. Additionally, it highlights the need for bi-directional traceability and continuous improvement to ensure that projects meet their objectives and deliver value.

Managing Sustainment
These
Moving
Parts
Involves
Many
Activities.
Delivery and
Support
Development
Planning and
Organizing
Project Definition
User Capabilities
System
Requirements
Analysis and
Design
Build, Prototype,
Test, Pilot
Production
Sustainment
Each
activity
interacting
with each
other.
Performing
their
functions
and
producing
outcomes
in the
proper
order.

6. +
Project Definition
1!
Planning and Organizing
! Why is this project being initiated?
! Are those reasons defined in enough detail to
recognize they can be addressed by the
project’s deliverables?
! What problem are we trying to solve?
! Service gap
! Technical gap
! Performance gap
! New product or service demand

7. +
User Capabilities
2!
Planning and Organizing
! What capabilities do the users need to
possess to accomplish their mission or
fulfill the business case?
! What are the Measures of Effectiveness of
these capabilities to meet those goals?
! What are the units of measure of this
effectiveness?
! How is this measure connected with
project success?

8. +
System Requirements
3!
Planning and Organizing
! Eliciting requirements means bi-directional
traceability between
Capabilities and Requirements
! Establish Measures of Performance,
Technical Performance Measures, Key
Performance Parameters for the
Capabilities, traceable to requirements

9. +
User Capabilities
4!
Development
! Trace the business proposition to revenue
or other financial performance measures
! Cost estimate to achieve this financial
performance
! Statistical confidence in both value stream and
cost models
! Develop a Capabilities road map before
moving on to Requirements
! Value Stream map of Capabilities
! Cost versus Value plan to prioritize Capabilities
! Value traceable to strategy for Break Even target

10. +
System Requirements
5!
Development
! Formal Requirements Elicitation
! Bi-directional traceability to Capabilities
! Requirements Breakdown Structure
! Interdependencies define implementation
sequences
! Measures of Performance (MOP), Technical
Performance Measures (TPM), Key
Performance Parameters (KPP) defined
! Product outcomes assessed against each of
these for progress measures

11. +
Analysis and Design
6!
Development
! Trade Studies
! System architecture
! Data and Application architecture
! Security model
! Platform and Performance assessment
! Develop systems architecture model
before starting development

12. +
Build, Prototype, Test, Pilot
7!
Development
! Incremental development processes based
on architecture(s)
! Verification and validation of core
components
! Target reliability and defect assessment
! Prototype verification and validation
! Capabilities coverage
! Fit for Purpose / Fit for Use

13. +
Analysis and Design
Delivery and Support
! Verification and validation delivered
capabilities will fulfill mission or business
case
! Fit for purpose assessment
! Fit for use assessment
! Deployment plans defined to match Value
Stream Map
! Measures of Effectiveness and Performance at
each step in the VSM
