Policy

Request for

Information

Note 1 from the Chief Process Officer: The Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L has

provided four key enduring acquisition principles. The first of these principles is “Think”. Program

managers should tailor the program according to the specific needs of that program. The rote

checking the blocks in a checklist or simply following each and every step of a process is the

antithesis of Mr Kendall's challenge to Program Managers. Use this Model as a model. If your

program's situation warrants a waiver from the checklist or process, seek that waiver from your

milestone decision authority. CTRL-Click here to access an active link to Mr. Kendall’s thoughts.

Integrated Plan

& RoadmapProgrammatic

Data

Note 2: The purpose of program tailoring

is to streamline the acquisition program

to the maximum extent possible,

consistent with risk, to provide new

systems to operational commanders as

fast as possible. DoDI 5000.02, Section

5.a.2; AFPAM 63-128, Section 14.1

Note: As stated in Section 5.a.4.g of DoDI 5000.02, DAB review preparation will be streamlined and efficient. Staff members will be provided with the data needed to support the review in accordance with scheduled submission

dates established throughout this instruction. They will work to minimize the overhead burden placed on the DoD Components, PEOs, program managers, and their staffs. Staff reviews will focus on the substance of the program’s

content: affordability, requirements reasonableness, technical risk reduction, contracting strategy, schedule realism, testing provisions, funding adequacy, and future decision criteria. Reviewers will inform the DAB chairperson and

MDA, the OIPT leader, and the Military Service concerned of potential DAB issues. The MDA will prioritize key cost, schedule and performance issues to be addressed at the DAB. The Military Service concerned will address administrative or advisory comments. Similar procedures will be used for DoD Component-level reviews.

Note 1 from the Chief Process Officer: The Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L has

provided four key enduring acquisition principles. The first of these principles is “Think”. Program

managers should tailor the program according to the specific needs of that program. The rote

checking the blocks in a checklist or simply following each and every step of a process is the

antithesis of Mr Kendall's challenge to Program Managers. Use this Model as a model. If your

program's situation warrants a waiver from the checklist or process, seek that waiver from your

milestone decision authority. CTRL-Click here to access an active link to Mr. Kendall’s thoughts.

Note 2: The purpose of program tailoring

is to streamline the acquisition program

consistent with risk, to provide new

Implementation Directive for Better Buying

Power 2.0, Defense Exportability must be

considered in the acquisition process. Such

considerations must be incorporated in

acquisition planning efforts. CTRL-Click

here to access an active link to the

Implementation Directive (in the Details

section on the left)..

Note 1: The following websites provide valuable information for product

support activities. The DoD Integrated Product Support Implementation

Roadmap has links to over 2500 knowledge items (such as policy,

references, and continuous learning modules). The Roadmap identifies

activities and outputs for the twelve integrated product support (IPS)

elements over the total life cycle. DoD has also established a Product

Support Manager website that provides links to a variety of relevant

documents. Finally, the Air Force has developed the Contract Sustainment

Support Guide to provide best practices for contractor logistics support.

minimizes HSI-related costs and supports safe

LCSP

Note 1 from the Chief Process Officer: The Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L has

provided four key enduring acquisition principles. The first of these principles is “Think”. Program

managers should tailor the program according to the specific needs of that program. The rote

checking the blocks in a checklist or simply following each and every step of a process is the

antithesis of Mr Kendall's challenge to Program Managers. Use this Model as a model. If your

program's situation warrants a waiver from the checklist or process, seek that waiver from your

milestone decision authority. CTRL-Click here to access an active link to Mr. Kendall’s thoughts.

Note 2: The purpose of program tailoring

is to streamline the acquisition program

to the maximum extent possible,

consistent with risk, to provide new

systems to operational commanders as

fast as possible. DoDI 5000.02, Section

Note 1: The following websites provide valuable information for product

support activities. The DoD Integrated Product Support Implementation

Roadmap has links to over 2500 knowledge items (such as policy,

references, and continuous learning modules). The Roadmap identifies

activities and outputs for the twelve integrated product support (IPS)

elements over the total life cycle. DoD has also established a Product

Support Manager website that provides links to a variety of relevant

documents. Finally, the Air Force has developed the Contract Sustainment

Support Guide to provide best practices for contractor logistics support.

Note 1 from the Chief Process Officer: The Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L has

provided four key enduring acquisition principles. The first of these principles is “Think”. Program

managers should tailor the program according to the specific needs of that program. The rote

checking the blocks in a checklist or simply following each and every step of a process is the

antithesis of Mr Kendall's challenge to Program Managers. Use this Model as a model. If your

program's situation warrants a waiver from the checklist or process, seek that waiver from your

milestone decision authority. CTRL-Click here to access an active link to Mr. Kendall’s thoughts.

Note 4: The purpose of program tailoring

is to streamline the acquisition program

to the maximum extent possible,

consistent with risk, to provide new

systems to operational commanders as

fast as possible. DoDI 5000.02, Section

5.a.2; AFPAM 63-128, Section 14.1

Note 3: Program

Integration provides the

AF with consistent

insightful and

synchronized

recommendations,

improved data reporting

and analysis, and

maximized utilization of

resources. The objective

is to strengthen decision-

making across AF

Acquisition leadership.

encouraged to tailor the

consistent with Enclosure 1,

Table 2 of the DoDI 5000.02

Note 2: The purpose of program tailoring

is to streamline the acquisition program

to the maximum extent possible,

consistent with risk, to provide new

systems to operational commanders as

fast as possible. DoDI 5000.02, Section

5.a.2; AFPAM 63-128, Section 14.1
