JKDDC Working Group Issues

• 05JKDDC-01 Access to a LMS that crosses
  functional boundaries
• Discussion Users need unobstructed, centralized
  visibility of federated data. COCOMs can not
  afford the purchase nor afford to maintain
  LMS/LCMS capability.
• Impact Can not effectively manage training and
  readiness programs without near real time access
  to training, qualification/certification
  information. Can not effectively manage
  individuals without effective LMS.
• Submitted By DTRA, EUCOM, PACOM
• Endstate Hosting environment for real time
  access to individual qualification, certification
  and experience data.
• Plan of Action Establish LMS Workgroup that is
  not subordinate to JKDDC Workgroup. Identify LMS
  and Course Development Tools that are best of

JKDDC Working Group Issues

• 05JKDDC-02 Re-visit the previously formalized
  JKDDC life cycle management business rules.
• Discussion On initial concept development,
  entities taking on Lead Development Agent (LDA)
  responsibilities thought they would receive
  resources commensurate with the responsibilities
  assumed. Subsequently, experience has been that
  resources have not and are not intended to flow
  to LDAs. Lack of resources is causing LDAs to
  re-evaluate their ability to meet previously
  assumed responsibilities.
• Impact Lack of resources to develop, maintain,
  and update content may seriously jeopardize or
  impede quality and consistency of content
  products.
• Submitted By All stakeholders
• Endstate Sufficient resources available to
  identify, develop, and sustain course content
  from cradle to grave.
• Plan of Action Find the resources to fully
  support LDAs. Coordinate with OSD to
  re-prioritize funding and/or find new sources.
  Provide update to stakeholders at next JIPT.
• Nominated OPR/OCR JS J7/OSD, COCOMs, CSAs

JKDDC Working Group Issues

• 05JKDDC-03 Identification/Development of Joint
  Core Competencies and Curriculum to lead/guide
  content development.
• Discussion Need to place requirements in front
  of content development IAW the Joint Training
  System. Initial course lists (FY 03 FY 04)
  developed from JFCOM provided course list. FY 05
  course list developed from formal JKDDC Working
  Group process.
• Impact Failure to fully identifying core
  competency and curriculum requirements and
  priorities prior to identification courseware
  content requirements increases risk of not
  fulfilling training program objectives.
• Submitted By JFCOM, NORTHCOM
• Endstate JKDDC content developed in consonance
  with stakeholder identified joint core
  competencies and curriculum.
• Plan of Action Stakeholders provide individual
  core competencies (general from JS J7 and
  position specific from COCOMs/CSAs) to
  JKDDC/Joint Staff. Identify curriculum
  developer. Develop requirements-based
  curriculum.
• Nominated OPR/OCR Stakeholders/JS J7

5
JKDDC Working Group Issues

• 05JKDDC-04 Submitting JKDDC Program Initial
  Capabilities Document (ICD) with stakeholder
  buy-in
• Discussion Due to change of Workgroup
  participants and emerging operational
  requirements, discussion within JKDDC Working
  Group is not contained and bounded. Confusion
  continues regarding the full-scale capability of
  the broad-ranging JKDDC program the majority of
  the discussion covered the development of
  courses, which is just one portion of the JKDDC
  capability. An operational perspective of the
  JKDDC program is best addressed through a formal
  ICD.
• Impact Discussion and decision-making within
  JKDDC Working Group is fragmented and focused on
  implementation rather than strategic and
  transformational goals.
• Submitted By JS-J7
• Endstate Submit ICD for JKDDC program to Joint
  Capabilities Integration and Development System
  (JCIDS) Process.
• Plan of Action JKDDC develop ICD in
  collaboration with stakeholders and submit
  through JCIDS process. (Training FCB, JROC)
• Nominated OPR/OCR JS-J7
