Technical Performance Assessment of Non-Major AF Programs in Full Scale Development Phase.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a substantial need to increase Air Force program/project manager's visibility into contractor activities in conducting non-major full-scale development programs. The impact of currently severe political-economic constraints indicate that traditionally routine managerial control methods might not now be adequate. An attempt to obtain a consensus among the program/project managers via sending a questionnaire to a sample of those managers selected at random was the main data gathering technique. The results of that sample indicated that those routine methods were adequate; however, the use of more sophisticated methods would be significantly beneficial.
