Title: Acquisition Executive Board V


1
Acquisition Executive Board VV Working Group
Status2009 VV Summit
2
Background
  • Acquisition Executive Board (AEB) directed the
    VV Working Group to
  • Establish a common VV philosophy across the
    product lifecycle
  • Develop VV policy changes and improvements for
    AMS
  • VV Working Group is a crosscutting team from FAA
    service units and organizations

3
Current Status
  • Lifecycle VV Philosophy Whitepaper (delivered
    4/3/09)
  • Defines philosophy aspects, elements, and terms
  • Describes the VV approach for each lifecycle
    phase
  • Defines work products to be verified and
    validated and associated decision points
  • Completed VV gap analysis
  • (VV Philosophy Whitepaper vs Acquisition
    Practices)
  • Developed AMS policy changes
  • Conducted VV Stakeholders meeting to establish
    VV acquisition practices
  • Developing VV guidance for the FAA Acquisition
    System Toolset

4
What do we mean by VV?
  • Verification- Ensures that selected work
    products meet their specified requirements
    (includes intermediate work products)
  • Validation- Demonstrates whether a product or
    product component will fulfill its specified
    purpose when placed in its intended environment

Note VV is broader than TE. The performance
of TE supports the goals and objectives of VV.
5
Perform VV Early and Incrementally
  • Focused on key work products/products
  • VV results are collected to support key decision
    points
  • VV is performed on government and contractor
    work products
  • VV may occur more than once on a product
  • If there are modifications
  • Additional levels of VV are required

6
VV and the Lifecycle V-Model
7
Why do we need this VV approach?
  • FAA needs
  • Common VV philosophy for all lifecycle phases
  • Optimized product acquisitions
  • Better data to support key decisions
  • NextGen will necessitate systematic VV
  • Big changes in Concept of Operations
  • System of systems with avionics part of the NAS
  • Problems to be addressed
  • No common overarching VV focus that ensures the
    progression of product maturity
  • Lack of consistent data for decision makers

8
VV Philosophy Elements
  • Comprehensive VV approach is needed for each
    lifecycle phase
  • Systematic VV should be performed on selected
    work products that are best predictors
  • Appropriate levels of independence from developer
    must be maintained
  • Plan for VV (scope it and baseline the approach)
  • Ensure completeness/quality
  • Measure performance and assess capabilities
  • Decision support for major decisions
  • Determine acceptability of product/or work
    products
  • Refine/improve work products/products
  • Support development of subsequent work
    products/products
  • VV must use standardized procedures

Implementation Considerations
  • Enhance and streamline current policies,
    acquisition practices, and guidance tools
  • Coordinate and communicate changes
  • Programs factor VV into
  • Planning
  • Research
  • Engineering/Design
  • Development
  • Testing
  • Reporting and Decision Making
  • Track and support program conformance to
    policies/guidance
  • Continuous improvement

13
AMS VV CR
  • Add VV bullets to What Must Be Done sections
    of
  • CRD
  • IIA
  • FIA
  • SI
  • ISM
  • Bullets identify critical work products and
    products from that phase that need to be VVed
  • Also identifies any major decision points that
    require VV

14
Next Steps for VV Working Group
  • Incorporate as part of acquisition practice in
    FAST
  • VV guidance planned to be ready by January 2010
    along with VV related AMS Policy changes
  • Continue to improve and evolve VV guidance and
    practices
  • Involve stakeholders
  • Prepare for NextGen challenges
