Applying Program Management Concepts to Software Development: An AFR 300-15 Critique.

Abstract

The USAF has recently incorporated concepts and principles of computer software with preparation of AFR 300-15. However, it is believed that those concepts were not tailored finitely enough. Further, AFR 300-15 appears to adapt the development process to fit the principles rather than the reverse. This paper proposes changes to AFR 300-15 which tailor/adapt the principles and concepts of program management to the software developmental process. This is accomplished by realignment of some functions within the phases, by renaming baselines and reviews, by shifting reviews, and by establishing some new baselines and reviews. (Author)
