4 DoD s Software Challenge DoD estimates that it spends about 40% of its RDT&E budget on software - $21B for FY2003 GAO F/A-22 SBIRS-High [Software] continues to grow in importance in our weapons systems - and remains a significant contributor to program cost, schedule and performance shortfalls. -- Pete Aldridge 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 3

5 Today s Development Challenges Huge system/software engineering endeavors in aircraft, space vehicles, command and control, ground infrastructure, battle management, etc Several million SLOC programs Hybrid systems combining legacy re-use, COTS, new development Multi-contractor teams using different processes; Dispersed engineering & development locations New technologies/products rapid change and evolution; are they mature; obsolescence Business/operational needs change - often faster than full system capability can be implemented Skillset Shortfalls; Cost and schedule constraints Demands for increased integration, interoperability, system of system capabilities 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 4

11 Introduction: Current Environment Providing enhanced capability to the warfighter is a complex and conflict-ridden endeavor. Operational forces demand war-winning systems. They need evolutionary enhancements to existing systems to maintain a cutting edge on the battlefield. Acquirers need to maintain cost, schedule, and technical baselines to uphold their duty as stewards of the taxpayers money and to satisfy oversight requirements. Contractors need to win contracts to stay in business and sustain the industry base. Underpinning these conflicts is an ever-increasing demand on systems and software engineering to solve the complexities of an interconnected battlespace by Carnegie Mellon University 10

12 The Acquirer s Job Operational Need Requirements Management What are the key activities you perform when you acquire systems? Configuration Management Risk Management Verification and Validation Program Integration Project Planning Need to counter these attitudes: I'd rather have it wrong than have it late. Industry senior manager Ad hoc, catch as you can that s our motto. PMO We do not work problems until they re unrecoverable. PMO I don t want an ATAM [to reveal problems] on my watch. PMO 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 11

14 The Team Contractor A ML 3 My Program Contractor B ML 4 Contractor C ML 5 Acquirer ML? CMMI Math: ? =? 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 13

15 DoD s Problem Statement Many DoD contractors advertise high levels of process capability or organizational maturity as measured by either the Continuous or Staged representations of Capability Maturity Model Integration, yet from the perspective of acquisition program managers on some high visibility individual programs, strong systems engineering and project management practices still appear to be lacking by Carnegie Mellon University 14

16 Example Large DoD program with multiple, geographically dispersed engineering locations. Multi-contractor teams (10+) using different processes. Several million lines of code. Systems engineering challenges. Combination of legacy, re-use, COTS integration and new development. All contractor sites are Maturity Level 3 or higher. 18 months after contract award, the program office conducted a CMMI Class B appraisal on the team by Carnegie Mellon University 15

17 Characterizing Results Project Mgmt Number of Strengths Engineering Processes Process Mgmt Number of Weaknesses Support Processes Project Mgmt Processes: - Project Planning - Project Monitoring & Control - Integrated Project Mgmt - Risk Management Engineering Processes - Requirements Mgmt - Requirements Definition - Technical Solution - Product Integration - Verification (Peer Reviews) Support Processes - Measurement & Analysis - Product and Process Quality Assurance - Configuration Mgmt - Decision Analysis Process Mgmt - Organizational Process Focus - Organizational Process Definition 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 16

18 Issues Identified - Program Management Lack of project plans or having only incomplete, conflicting or out of date project plans Ineffective use of Integrated Master Schedule as basis for planning/tracking status across program Undefined engineering and management processes on program Inability to track and manage actions to closure Inadequate cost estimation processes, methods, data and tools Inadequate staffing and training project personnel Tracking dependencies between or across teams not defined Managing project data ad hoc Inability to proactively identify and manage risks 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 17

19 Issues Identified - Engineering Lack of understanding of the program s requirements Inability to trace requirements to architecture/design or to test plans/procedures Poor linkage of functional and performance requirements Inconsistent requirements management at different levels No criteria for making architectural/design decisions among alternatives Not capturing entire technical data package (requirements, design and design rationale, test results, etc) Efficiency of design process/methods in question Late definition of integration and test procedures 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 18

20 Issues Identified Support Processes Difficult to identify items in configuration management baselines Lack of ability to manage individual versions in incremental development Inability to effectively managing changes to work products throughout lifecycle Not conducting audits to establish/ensure integrity of baselines throughout incremental engineering and development Inefficient change management process (cycle time, volume of changes) Quality Assurance audits of products and processes not consistent QA involvement in system and software engineering processes not consistent No metrics to manage engineering activities (outside of cost/schedule data) 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 19

21 CMMI v1.2 Part of the Solution! Increasing the integrity and credibility of the model Emphasizing project start-up and process deployment Increasing the integrity and credibility of the appraisal process Raising the bar for SCAMPI Lead Appraisers CMMI is a key enabler as the DoD acquires increasingly complex capabilities and systems 2006 by Carnegie Mellon University 20
