Closing Thoughts
VADM Venlets commitment to program execution coming out of the N-M re-certification.
Realism in planning Transparency in all we do Program grounded in disciplined systems engineering
Its not hard its not free but it requires discipline and commitment For mostsimply follow your SEP
Systems Engineering Technical Reviews critical
Enables gated approach to program execution
