The document provides an overview of NASA's policy for independent program reviews:
1. NASA policy mandates independent reviews at key decision points to validate programs' readiness and identify risks. This includes NPD 1000.0 requiring checks and balances like independent reviews.
2. The Standing Review Board process in NPR 7120.5 standardizes independent reviews across NASA. Reviews assess technical and programmatic status at life cycle milestones.
3. The SRB Handbook provides guidance for Standing Review Boards to apply review criteria consistently across programs at different stages of development. It outlines roles, timelines and expectations for independent reviews.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

• The Independent Program Assessment Office (IPAO) manages
the independent review of the Agency's Programs and projects
at life-cycle milestones to ensure the highest probability of
mission success.

7. The Governance and Strategic
Management Handbook (NPD 1000.0A)
“NASA governance and strategic management provide the discipline and rigor
to enable success of NASA’s Mission- ….
Mission success delivers on our commitment to be good stewards of the
resources entrusted to us by the taxpayer. To enable Agency-wide
accomplishments, NASA’s governance framework is founded on the following
tenets:
• …..
NASA’s governance principles that provide this framework are:
• Lean governance.
• Clear roles, responsibility and decision making.
• Strategic acquisition.
• Checks and balances. ……
There are many process-related checks and balances built into NASA’s way of
doing business. They range from peer reviews conducted at the lowest level to
oversight reviews conducted by the Agency’s Program Management Council.
Three checks and balances of particular importance at the program or project
level are: the independent life-cycle review process, the process for tailoring
a specific prescribed requirement, and the Dissenting Opinion process.”
Page 7
8. Why Independent Review
The Governance and Strategic Management
Handbook (NPD 1000.0A)
The independent life-cycle review process provides a comprehensive
review of programs and projects at each life-cycle milestone by competent,
independent individuals. The purpose of these reviews is to provide:
1. Agency wants P/p to receive independent assurance that they are on-
track
2. NASA senior management wants:
– Independent validation at key decision points of the
Program/project’s readiness to proceed into the next phase of its
life-cycle
– Externally-imposed impediments to Program/project success to
be removed
3. Agency needs to give external stakeholders assurance we can deliver
to our commitments
4. Significant additional benefit is that preparation for the review
milestone allows for a holistic examination by the Program/project and
the review team
Page 8
9. Policy for NASA Acquisition
NPD 1000.5
• NPD 1000.5A calling for the Joint Confidence Level (JCL)
analysis became effective in January 2009
• Policy is directed to ensure appropriate level of funding is
provided and maintained to increase probability of success of
the Agency’s Programs and Projects
• Requirements
– (a) Programs are to be baselined or rebaselined and budgeted at a confidence level
of 70% or the level approved by the decision authority of the responsible Agency-
level management council. For a 70% confidence level, this is the point on the joint
cost and schedule probability distribution where there is a 70% probability that the
project will be completed at or lower than the estimated amount and at or before the
projected schedule. The basis for a confidence level less than 70% is to be formally
documented.
– (b) Projects are to be baselined or rebaselined and budgeted at a
confidence level consistent with the program’s confidence level.
– The program's or project's proposed cost and schedule baseline are to be assessed
by an independent review team. The program or project is to present and justify its
resulting cost and schedule to the decision authority of the responsible Agency-level
management council. The independent review team is to discuss with the decision
authority its key concerns with the plans and baselines proposed by the program or
9
project.

14. NPR 7123.1 Systems Engineering
Technical Review Requirements
• NPR 7123.1A – Systems Engineering Processes and Requirements
Articulates and establishes the requirements on the implementing
organization for performing, supporting, and evaluating systems
engineering
This systems approach is applied to all elements of a system and all
hierarchical levels of a system over the complete project life cycle
• 5.2.1.3 A technical review is an evaluation of the project, or
element thereof, by a knowledgeable group for the purposes of:
Assessing status of and progress toward accomplishing planned activities.
Validating technical tradeoffs explored and design solutions proposed.
Identifying technical weaknesses or marginal design and potential
problems (risks) and recommending improvements and corrective actions.
Making judgments on activities’ readiness for follow-on events, incl
additional future evaluation milestones to improve likelihood of successful
outcome.
Making assessments and recommendations to project team, Center, and
Agency management.
Providing historical record that can be referenced of decisions that were
made during these formal reviews.
• Entrance and Success criteria for each life-cycle milestone are
contained in Appendix G.
