  1. Evaluate SE Methods, Processes and Tools Technical Task Plan USC Workshop Los Angeles, CA 16 March 2009

  2. Agenda • Introduction to the MPT task and adjustments • Status of task • Planned activities for the workshop

  3. SOW Language Look at current SE methods, processes, and tools (MPTs) as they are applied across the DoD acquisition life cycle focusing on three different development environments: individual weapons systems, SoS, and network-centric services. Research will be targeted at improving current/identifying new SE MPTs that will better support the practice of SE in these three environments. Specifically, this task will: 1. Define critical attributes of current SE MPTs across the weapons system, SoS, and network-centric services environments; 2. Identify strengths and weaknesses for these current MPTs and any shortcomings in their application across DoD; 3. Recommend, in priority order, MPTs for further study to innovate or create improved or new MPTs to eliminate identified shortcomings; 4. Upon selection by the government of MPTs recommended in sub-task 3 for further study, perform research to innovate or create improved or new MPTs to eliminate identified shortcomings, thereby advancing the state of practice of SE within the community; and 5. For the improvements delivered in sub-task 4 above, propose a methodology for validating the programs.

  5. Initial MPT Attributes

  6. Adjustments • Scope very broad for task resources • Task sponsor initially interested in their particular environmental challenges • Less interested in the ongoing, repetitive evaluation process proposed • Looking for ideas outside traditional MPTs • Broader survey and gap analysis

  7. MPT Task Changes Identify and Mine Comparative Environments for MPTs Identify Promising MPTs and Gaps Define and Validate Sponsor Environment Challenges and Needs Review sources provided in SoW Review literature and web Broad survey of industry Conduct open-ended expert workshops Conduct interviews Select MPTs for Evaluation Revise MPT Attribute Set Initial MPT Candidate Templates Describe MPTs eWorkshop To Users BPCH Evaluate MPTs MPT Analysis Reports and Recommendations Repeat

  8. Task Status • Define Sponsor Environmental Challenges and Needs • Developed and refined initial challenge list • Validating Environmental Challenges and Needs • Currently interviewing sponsor personnel • 5 people to date • Indications are that environment challenge description valid • Revise/extend template as needed • Revise evaluation criteria based on needs assessment • Revised attribute set for one-page candidate identification template Italics indicate tasks of the workshop

  9. Environmental Challenges

  10. Researcher Template • Support data collection on existing MPTs • Includes challenge description • Based on subset of MPT attributes • Intended to winnow down to reasonable number of MPTs to evaluate • Primarily used with the open sources review (literature, web) • Initial feedback good; waiting to see results

  11. Broad Industry Survey • To identify potential gaps and gather MPT candidates from broader community based on environmental challenges • Commercial industry • Defense community • Research community • Draft survey developed • Help needed to get survey to right people • SERC members • CSSE Members

  12. MPT Activities during workshop • Pilot broad industry survey with ARR members • Collect and review data • Discuss environmental challenges • MPT types (Process/governance vs. technical/tools) • Discuss gap/MPT identification workshop strategy
