PMT 360 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ACCURATE ANSWERS
PBP Elements - Answers - 1. The payment event or criteria. 2. The definition of
successful completion. 3. The value of the event. All three pieces need to ne considered
together to ensure adequate cash flow to the contractor. Appropriate motivation for the
contractor and that achieving the payment events will lead to the successful completion
of the contract.
Techinical Management Processes - Answers - 1. Techinical Planning
2. Requirements Management
3. Configuration Management
4. Interface Management
5. Techinical Data Management
6. Decision Analysis
7. Techinical Assessment
8. Risk Management
Techinical Planning - Answers - Ensures that the SE processes are applied properly
throughout a system's life cycle, includes defining the scope of the techinical effort
required to develop, field, and sustain the system, as well as providing critical
quantative inputs to program planning and life cycle cost estimates.
Requirements Management - Answers - Ensures bi-directional traceability from the high
level requirements down to the syste elements through the lowest level of the design
(top-down) and from any derived lower level requirements up to the applicable source
from which it originates (bottom-up)
Configuration Management - Answers - Establishes and maintains the consistency of a
systems functional, performance, and physical attributes with its requirement, design
and operational documentation throughout the systems life cycle.
Interface Management - Answers - Ensure interface definition and compliance amoung
the systems elements, as well as with other systems. Documents all internal and
external interface requirements and requirement changes in accordance with the
programs Configuration Management Plan.
Technical Data Management - Answers - Identifies, acquires, manages, maintains, and
ensures access to the techinical data and computer software required to manage and
support a system throughout the acquisition life cycle.
Decision Analysis - Answers - Transforms a broadly stated decision opportunity into a
traceable, defendable, and actionable plan. Enploy procedures, methods, and tools,
, such as trade studies, for identifying, representing, and formally assessing the important
aspects of alternative decisions to select an optimum decision.
Techinical Assessment - Answers - Compares achieved results with defined creteria to
provide a fact based understanding of the current level of product knowledge, technical
maturity, program status, and technical risk. Includes methods such as technical
reviews and use of technical performance measures. (TPMs)
Risk Management - Answers - Involves the mitigation of program uncertainities that are
critical to achieving cost, schedule and performance goals at every stage of the life
cycle. Encompass identification, analysis, mitigation, and monitoring of program risks.
Techinical Processes - Answers - 1. Stakeholders Requirements Definitions
2. Requirements Analysis
3. Architecture Design
4. Implementation
5. Intergration
6. Verification
7. Validation
8. Translation
Stakeholder Requirements Definitions - Answers - Involves the translation of
requirements from relevant steakholders into a set of top level techinical requirements.
The process helps ensure each individual steakholder's requirements, expectations,
and perceived constraints are understood fromt the acquisition perspective.
Requirements Analysis - Answers - Involves the decomposition of top level
requirements captured by the steakholders requirements definition process into a clear,
achieveable, verifiable and complete set off system requirements.
Architecture Design - Answers - Involves a trade and systhesis process that translates
the outputs of the Steakholder Requirements Definition and Requirements Analysis
processes into a system allocated baseline that describes the physical architecture of
the system and the specifications that describe the functional and performance
requirements for each configuration item along with the interfaces that compose the
design.
Implementation - Answers - Involves two primary efforts, detailed design and realization.
Outputs included the detailed design down to the lowest system elements in the system
architecture , and the fabrication/production procedures.
Intergration - Answers - Incorporates the lowest level system elements into a higher-
level system element in the physical architecture. Key schedule risk area.
Verification - Answers - Provides evidence tha the system or system element performs
its intended functions and meets all performance requirements listed in the system
