16 Key characteristics of the amended CPM Process streamlining by reducing the number of phases from four down to three and establishing a high quality analysis phase, Reduction of required milestone documents and avoidance of complicated endorsement chains, Strengthening of the agency level by clearly separating the control tasks of the Ministry from the implementation tasks of the offices by way of an agreement on objectives, Reduction of interfaces by pooling the responsibility for products and services over the entire life cycle in the Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support organizational element, Establishment of Integrated Project Teams (IPT), merging the expertise required for successful project implementation under a single authority and significantly enhancing communication, Increase of transparency and improvement of the fundamentals of decision-making by preparing alternative solutions with graded requirement fulfillment levels and their life cycle costs and Process integration of regulations for the procurement of unforeseeable and urgent operational requirements (fast-track initiative).
