RQM 310 – Requirements Management Concepts and Skills
4.5-day classroom course which takes an in-depth look Into the relationships between the JCIDS, DAS, and PPBE • Student pilot: 21 July 2010
• First offering: 16 August 2010
• Current schedule - 6 classes per year; 30 students per class

Why is RQM 310 a Core Course?
The DAU committed three levels of training to Congress
Requirements training is the only non-acquisition use of 852 funds
Mr. Young issued a policy letter supporting a classroom course
The senior leadership decided to support a classroom course at the 22 April 2009 meeting

Discussion
RQM 310 is on track, current
We are providing training to put the RM on an equal footing with the PM
Closely linked to OSD ATL and Services’ to capture latest changes/nuances to the acquisition process (ex. Energy Efficiency KPP and FBCF development)• FBCF definition standardization• AoA Energy Efficiency Analysis process
22
BACKUP SLIDES
23
2007 NDAA – Section 801
Section 801 of FY 2007 National Defense Authorization Act • Establish a certification program for DoD personnel responsible
for generating requirements for major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs)
• Certify by September 30, 2008. • The certification program should address:
− Interrelationship between requirements, budget, and acquisition,− Developing joint operations requirements,− Early baselining of program requirements and “the adverse effect” of
changing or adding requirements, and− Importance of technology maturity and alternatives.

CLR 250 – Capabilities-Based Assessments (CBA)
Description: CLR 250 is an online module that examines how to conduct a Capability-Based Assessment (CBA) and to apply the CBA results
Objective: Given sample data and direction, recognize the CBA process and challenges to generate results that impact follow-on JCIDS documents.
30
CBA Lessons
Lesson #1 – CBA Background
Lesson #2 – Team Building and Planning
Lesson #3 – Study Phases
Lesson #4 – Follow-on Documents
31
CLR 252 – Developing Requirements
Description: CLR 252 is an online module to describe how to develop Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), Key System Attributes (KSAs) and the relationship of the KPPs and KSAs to Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs), Measures of Performance (MOPs), and Measures of Suitability (MOSs).
Objective: Given warfighter feedback and analysis results, critique requirements statements to include well-written KPPs and KSAs; then relate those requirements statements to Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs), Measures of Performance (MOPs), and Measures of Suitability (MOSs)
32
Requirements Lessons
Lesson #1 – Requirements Foundation
Lesson #2 – How to Write a Good Requirement
Lesson #3 – KPPs, Performance Attributes and Requirements Creep
Lesson #4 – Measures of Performance and Requirements Validation

JCIDS Simulation
Description: Simulate a variety of tasks a Requirements Manager needs to resolve as a capability moves through the JCIDS and the DAS
Objective: Given documentation from analysis and from acquisition life-cycle phases, to include Rapid Response situations, apply and defend appropriate solutions in order to get those solutions through the “Big A” Acquisition system
Challenges: • Accurate and current scenario development• Inputs from the working levels• Need for field-level realism
36
Capstone Briefings
DAU has developed topics that relate developing KPPs to trade-offs and acquisition problems• Test and Evaluation• Technology Readiness• Logistics and Support
Student teams will present briefings:• To DAU faculty for practice• To a simulated FCB
37
What Does RQM 310 Add?
Puts CBA development and results in context
Examines how to develop and apply top-level requirements
Uses multiple approaches to explore how to work with DAS and the rest of “Big A” acquisition
Includes discussion about Rapid Response which leads into the avatar simulation
The avatar simulation includes Staffing and Validation challenges
