LOG204 (DL) Configuration Management

1. LOG204 (DL) Configuration Management Bruce Hatlem Logistics Functional IPT June 26, 2007

2. Background • FIPT Recommendations • DAU Proceed with FY05 migration from classroom to distance learning • Pursue joint LOG-SYS designation to broaden target audience • Logistics FIPT Approve Approach and Provide Course Content Inputs • Strong FIPT/DACM endorsement of course to workforce after migration

3. Assumptions • CM is an important logistics competency • Interest remains, and students see value • Need for government life cycle logistician insight continues in PBL environment • LOG 204 course material has broader applicability than just life cycle logisticians, including SPRDE professionals & program managers • Migration to DL offers greater potential for increased student participation • Mitigates reduced travel budgets for in-residence courses • Precludes problems with personnel being out of the office for course • LOG 204 course material should continue to be available to DoD workforce • Current course content is solid, with modifications required to maintain currency • Existing course material will serve as foundation of a future distance learning version of this course

4. Course Objectives • Apply Configuration Management oversight as a tool in the Integrated Process and Product Development effort for System Management. • Given a scenario, utilize Integrated Process & Product Development approach to manage configuration for a system during its life cycle.

8. Background • Road Ahead • Brief Status to Logistics FIPT 29 Oct • LOG 204 Course Manager & DAU Logistics/SPRDE Program Directors Meet with OSD Systems Engineering & Logistics Staffs 8-9 Nov 04 • Discussions with Service and GEIA subject matter experts • Develop Course Migration Strategy and POA&M with Late-2005 Target Migration Date, depending on funding • Recommendations • DAU Proceed with FY05 migration from classroom to distance learning • Pursue joint LOG-SYS designation to broaden target audience • Logistics FIPT Approve Approach and Provide Course Content Inputs • Strong FIPT/DACM endorsement of course to workforce after migration

9. LOG 204 FY05 Migration • Road Ahead • Brief Status to Logistics FIPT 29 Oct • LOG 204 Course Manager & DAU Logistics/SPRDE Program Directors Meet with OSD Systems Engineering & Logistics Staffs 8-9 Nov 04 • Discussions with Service and GEIA subject matter experts • Develop Course Migration Strategy and POA&M with Late-2005 Target Migration Date, depending on funding • Course Manager Assessment: • LOG 204 course material should continue to be available to DoD workforce • Current course content is solid, with modifications required to maintain currency • Existing course material will serve as foundation of a future distance learning version of this course

10. Updates • Implement USMC Dec 02 Logistics FIPT Recommendation to “assign dual labeling status (i.e. SYS 204) in addition to LOG 204.” • Expand: • Configuration Management “basics” • Software Configuration Management • Private Sector best practices/processes • Integrated configuration management of software and hardware issues • Interaction of MIL HDBK 61A, EIA 836, EIA 649A and EIA 859. • PBL/PSI configuration management & data management relationship/interaction • Integrated product data environment (vice separate management of CM data & other technical data) • Update current verbiage from: • Defense Acquisition Guidebook – SE (4.2.3.6) & Life Cycle Logistics Chapters (5.2.1.4) • Chapter 4 Draft “Performance Based Logistics: Program Manager’s Product Support Guide” • ANSI/EIA 649A, Configuration Management (and HDBK 649, Configuration Management under development) • ISO 10007, Quality Management – Guidelines for configuration management • EIA 836, Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability

11. Terminal Learning Objectives • Lesson 1: CM Introduction - Given a specific situation, correctly relate the role and interrelationships of the key elements of Configuration Management (CM) (e.g. CM Planning, Identification, Status Accounting, Audits, Control, and Data Management) • Lesson 2: CM Contribution to SE - Provided a scenario, distinguish the role of CM in the SE Process • Lesson 3: CM Requirements During a Life Cycle - Given a case exercise, explain how CM concepts, definitions, principles, and applications are applied within the system life cycle. • Lesson 4: Configuration Identification - Given a scenario, identify Configuration Items and interfaces for a proposed system. • Lesson 5: Data Management - Given a scenario, identify, determine, and analyze CM data requirements. • Lesson 6: Configuration Status Accounting (CSA) - Given a scenario, build a status accounting system • Lesson 7: Audits / Verification - Given a set of alternatives, differentiate among Functional & Physical Configuration Audits (FCA / PCA) & technical reviews

12. Terminal Learning Objectives • Lesson 8: Configuration Control - Given a scenario, control the configuration of a system throughout its life cycle, including: • Develop, assess and justify an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) / Request for Deviation (RFD) • Review an ECP/RFD and recommend actions for the configuration manager • Determine the implementation method for a change • Lesson 9: Software Configuration Management (SCM) - Given a scenario, prepare / review SCM documentation • Lesson 10: Managing CM Programs - Performance Metrics - Given a scenario, select performance metrics to manage a CM program • Lesson 11: CM Planning - Given a scenario, develop & review a CM plan for a Contractor & a Government program office • Lesson 12: Managing CM Programs - Given a scenario, develop a structure for a CM program
