What group is used to help control the configuration of external interfaces for a system? - Interface Control Working Group Your new-start program was approved this year's Authorization Bill and you are currently operating under Continuing Resolution Authority. To avoid losing a top engineering from your program, you authorial the Contractor to begin work since you expect the Appointment Bill to be signed next week. You are now in conflict with the _____. - Anti-Deficiency Act Cost, schedule, and performance parameters are interrelated and a change in one parameters can affect the others. Therefore it is important to involve all the key stakeholders when considering changes to Acquisition Program Baseline (APB). - True The Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) verifies ________________ through the field assessment of systems during exercises and contingencies, and provides certificates of _____________ upon validation. - Interoperability performance/ interoperability. Which of the following configuration baselines provides the details from which a contractor can transition from design to production of a system? - Product Baseline In the interest of independent reporting, Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) activities may NOT be integrated. - False Changes are typical in acquisition programs; therefore, it is important to develop a sound configuration management strategy, place the Government in control of each element of the baselines, and design enough flexibility into the system to handle enhancements. - False. The _____________ includes details of processes, procedures, and materials used in fabrication and is usually controlled by the contractor. - Product Baseline. A new capability need has surfaced to modify an existing U.S. command and control system so that it can exchange information with a system operated by a European ally. Which of the following software best practices must be followed in order to successfully make this modification? - Define and control interfaces When using the cause-and-effect (Fishbone) diagram to resolve an acquisition problem, after you draw the fishbone diagram, the next step is to ____________________. - Define the problem Correct identification of the underlying root cause is the desired outcome of the ________________ approach to problem solving. - Cause-oriented The approved detail design resulting from the __________ serves as a basis for making the decision to begin production. - Critical Design Review The below-threshold maximum amount of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds that can be moved into a program element is _________. - $10 Million Using pre-production systems, and Operational Assessment can reduce program risk by - Providing operational effectiveness and suitability data. When a commercial item is procured by the Government, what will the contractor provide to the Government that documents the functional, performance, and physical characteristics of their product and will assist in the development of configuration management efforts? - Technical Data Package (TDP).
