Welcome Introductions

• A bit about me
• NPS Acquisition IS faculty, EARP
• Knowledge systems processes
• Reengineering acquisition, King PM
• Multi-agent systems, Knowledge flow (VLE)
• Ph.D. IS, M.S. SM/AE, B.S. BA, other
• Dozen years management in aerospace
• Software and hardware programs
• PMO, CP engineering assignments
• Married 2, tennis, steers goats
• About you (2-sided forms)

4
Military Perspective

• JV-2010
• Info most powerful weapon (Hamre)
• Shift from war of attrition
• Information dominance
• Services
• USA Vision 2010? (S/W growth)
• USN IT-21? (K-centric warfare)
• USMC Op Maneuver? (individual Marine)
• USAF Global Engagement? (sim center)

5
Future of Warfare

• WW 3.1 - Select enemy. Delete.
• Info-supported -based warfare
• Battlefield implications
• Temporal compression, spatial expansion
• Stealth mobility over size armor
• Information space dimensions
• Career organizational implications
• Specialist warriors (missiles, space, IT)
• De-layer mil organizations, CC, DM

6
Power of Military Software

• Changed battlefield (Powell)
• F-16 FBW (15M lawn dart - Ludwig)
• B-2 stealth - no vertical surfaces
• F-117 stealth - automated flight controls
• F-22 - 80 functionality via S/W
• Too much battlefield info w/o AI (Busey)
• Seawolf - virtual design simulation
• C-17 - virtual airframe durability testing

7
Software Prevalence

• Computers S/W everywhere (1.5M)
• DoD S/W _at_ 50B/yr
• Space, air, sea, land, office systems
• W/S application millions of SLOC
• PDSS _at_ 70 of W/S S/W LCC
• Will affect almost every PM PMO
• Helmets bullets? (Soldier 2050)
• Major LCC element x highest risk area

8
DoD S/W Domains

• Weapon systems
• Embedded
• C3 C3I
• Other (MPS, train, sim, PM, CM, testing)
• Management Information Systems
• Information System Resources (ISR)
• Automated Information System (AIS)
• Information Resource Management (IRM)
• Other (security, telecom, DBMS, mgmt)
• Same general processes and tools

9
Modernization

• Budgetary factors
• Decreasing DoD budgets (32)
• Increasing op scope frequency
• Increasing S/W role dependence
• S/W to modernize fielded weapons (94B)
• 10-30B annual shortfall ( 30B wages)
• Revolution in Business Affairs (RBA)
• Approach to funding modernization
• BPR, re-invention, innovation - process
• Innovation focus of MN3309

10
S/W Problems Failures

• S/W is DoD Achilles Heel
• Schedules perfect record (Randolph)
• Most projects fail on some dimension
• Cost overruns in Ms
• Schedule delays in years
• Performance unsat, insupportable
• Intangible, abstract, invisible, creative
• Difficult to measure correctness
• Testing 5000 year bugs (IBM)

11
S/W Problems Failures

• Examples (GAO)
• Comanche helicopter avionics
• B-2 bomber avionics
• SSN-688 AN/BSY-1 "seavionics"
• ASAS system
• ACSC system
• C-17 cargo
• F-22 fighter avionics
• NSSN AN/BSY-2 "seavionics"
• Many others more to come!

12
GAO Software Problems

• GAO Congress, spending
• Reviewed 20 major programs
• Significant S/W development problems
• Millions of SLOC involved
• Cost, schedule, performance shortfalls
• Millions of dollars years of delays for
  non-performing systems
• Major concerns
• Inadequate testing, excessive concurrency
• Poor program management

13
Software Project Management

• S/W PM problems
• Serious as cyberterrorism/WMD (JV-2010)
• Uncle Sam is largest, worst S/W shopper
• S/W delay costs 10 of 100B RP
• Even easy projects hard (C-SAWS)
• Mgmt problems people problems
• Mgrs must understand S/W products/engr
• Reengineer S/W acquisition process
• Management focus of MN3309

14
Project Management Exercise

• Form 2 teams - planner, doer, recorder
• Task walk with book on head/shoulder
• Across room back, no hands
• Speed important
• Start over if dropped (keep counting)
• Estimate and measure
• Number of steps, hands (_at_10 s) drops
• Time to complete task
• Record explain variances

15
Course Overview

• Prepare you for S/W PM
• Process innovation emphasis
• DAWIA SAM content
• Critique manage in DoD environment
• Change the DoD 5000!
• Lectures, cases, readings, etc.
• TOPGUN approach
• Safe, principled, hyper-realistic environment --gt
  experience
• Enjoyable, rewarding project

16
Key Points

• Course entails considerable work
• High-level course (best grad schools)
• Prepare yourself. See as investment.
• Students responsible for learning
• Proverb can lead a horse to water
• You know best how well youre learning
• Course designed to help you learn
• Must do your part. Like football pass play.
• Key ask questions!
• Silence --gt understanding

17
Key Points

• New course goal customer service
• You are customers, and students
• Opportunities to tailor course
• Im here to coach, help and monitor
• Also evaluate work
