Verification Requirements Traceability Matrix

ID No. Requir ement Source of Requirement Software Reqs. Spec / Functional Req. Doc. Design Spec. Program Module Test Spec. Test Case(s ) Successful Test Verificatio n Modification of Requirement Remark s
Objective 1:

Requirements Traceability Matrix Description of Matrix Fields Develop a matrix to trace the cost requirements back to the project objectives identified in the Project Plan and forward through the remainder of the project life cycle stages. Expand the matrix in each stage to show traceability of work products to the requirements and vice versa. The requirements traceability matrix contains the following fields:
An identification number containing the general category of the requirement and a number assigned in ascending order. The requirement statement. Requirement source (Conference; Configuration Control Board; Task Assignment, etc.). Software Requirements Specification/Functional Requirements Document paragraph number containing the requirement. Design Specification paragraph number containing the requirement. 31 Program Module containing the requirement. Test Specification containing the requirement test.

pEarned Value Management System

ASKi has developed a predictive Earned Value Management (pEVM) technique that relates resource planning to schedules - to technical cost and schedule requirements. This method is used for:
Integrating future Tech Ops cost, schedule and technical performance Processing includes data from AJPs testing and integration activities.

32

pEarned Value Management System (cont)

The pEVM provides:
Quantitative project management, Early warning of project engineering and cost problems, Powerful metrics for variance analysis and reliable estimates of final costs.

The metrics are enhanced with parametric data and Monte Carlo analysis per system per facility. The pEVM data presents reliable and accurate information because the right base measures of technical performances are used for prediction and analysis.

Executive Dashboard Development

ASKi can combine the inputs and outputs of the following Programs into an NAS Technical Evaluation Program (NASTEP) Executive Dashboard:
NAS Performance Analysis System (NASPAS)

Maintenance Management System (MMS) Facility Service and Equipment Profile (FSEP) Remote Monitoring and Logging Systems (RMLS) Integrated Logistics (iLOG)

Performance Measurements will provide measurable improvements in maintenance results:

Where are we spending? How do we measure maintenance performance? How do we know that we are on track? Did we get value from our outputs? Are the Systems leveraging the enablers?
