Defense Systems Management College: Test and Evaluation Management Guide
Abstract
This book is one of a family of educational guides written from a Department of Defense perspective; i.e., non-Service peculiar. They are intended primarily for use in the courses at the Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) and secondarily as a desk reference for program and project management personnel. These guidebooks are written for current and potential Department of Defense (DOD) acquisition management personnel who are familiar with basic terms and definitions employed in program offices. They are designed to assist government and industry personnel in executing their management responsibilities relative to the acquisition and support of defense systems. They include: a. Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) Guide (May 1986), b. Mission Critical Computer Resources Management Guide, c. Systems Engineering Management Guide (January 1990) d. Department of Defense Manufacturing Management Handbook for Program Managers (April 1989). The Defense Systems Management College is the controlling agency for this book. Comments and recommendations relating to the text are solicited. The introduction offers a perspective of test and evaluation (T and E) management activities during the system life cycle. Subsequent material in this book provides a guide for managing specific T and E events. The past several decades have seen the rise of large, highly-interactive defense systems that are often on the forward edge of technology. These systems have a natural evolutionary process, or life cycle, during which actions taken or avoided in early stages can mean the difference between success or failure.
