Professionally Developing World-Class Product Support Managers

Abstract

At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, it is not a stretch to say that we are at a pivotal moment when it comes to DoD weapon system product support and life cycle management. Congress and the president have weighed in with the passage of Section 805 of Public Law 111-84. DoD leadership has contriuted with issuance of Directive Type Memorandum 10-015. The military components have provided their implementing guidance, identified positions, and designated and assigned a product support manager (PSM) to every ACAT I and ACAT II programand to former ACAT I/II programs that are post-IOC or no longer have PMs reporting to CAEs. So whats left to do? Whats so pivotal?
