PART I
A configuration management program should focus on ensuring designs are traceable to
capability needs, developmental changes are controlled and documented, interfaces are well-
defined and understood, and _______________________________.
- All product documentation is consistent with its supporting information.
Which technical review is held during the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction phase to
ascertain progress in defining system technical requirements?
- System Requirements Review (SRR)
Program cost increases and schedules slips are most likely caused by __________________,
changes to the design, and changes to the production processes.
- Changes to user capability needs.
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
