The acquisition process enables new technology insertion, satisfaction of identified system needs, or existing system capabilities upgrades. This process is well-understood, but challenges remain as evidenced by the continued highly publicized failures to deliver systems that meet the requirements, cost and schedule.
Solution Overview
Although well defined, system acquisition and development processes are a dauntingly complex environment in which to operate given today’s systems. Through measurement, you can gain Vital Insights that allow you to:
- reduce the risk of project failure
- manage oversight into acquisition, engineering and development processes
- provide leading indicators to forecast areas requiring attention
- integrate cost, schedule, and technical progress measures
Our Vital Insights measurement approach is unique in focus as providing both inward and outward facing practices. An outward focus ensures successful management of the acquisition of products, systems, services, and capabilities. An inward focus ensures the engineering and development activities are conducted with repeatable processes.
Why Cask
Cask fully understands what is needed to provide required management insight into the entire spectrum of system acquisition, engineering and development activities. We bring practical knowledge of definition and application of the measurement information model to the processes to quantitatively monitor and control the planning, execution, and improvement of acquisition process, system engineering and software development process activities.
