ACQ 202 Module 4 Exam: Part 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | GRADED A
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
_______________________________. Correct Answer: 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?
Correct Answer: 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. Correct Answer: Changes to user capability needs.
What group is used to help control the configuration of external interfaces for a
system? Correct Answer: 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 _____. Correct Answer: 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).
Correct Answer: True
The Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) verifies ________________
through the field assessment of systems during exercises and contingencies, and
provides certificates of _____________ upon validation. Correct Answer:
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? Correct Answer:
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. Correct Answer: 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. Correct Answer: False.
The _____________ includes details of processes, procedures, and materials used
in fabrication and is usually controlled by the contractor. Correct Answer: 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? Correct Answer: 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
____________________. Correct Answer: Define the problem
Correct identification of the underlying root cause is the desired outcome of the
________________ approach to problem solving. Correct Answer: Cause-oriented
The approved detail design resulting from the __________ serves as a basis for
making the decision to begin production. Correct Answer: 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
_________. Correct Answer: $10 Million
Using pre-production systems, and Operational Assessment can reduce program
risk by Correct Answer: 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
