Development of a Personal Computer (PC) Software Requirements Model for System Program Offices

Abstract

This study investigated the development of an alternative PC software requirements determination model for system program offices (SPOs) within Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) to perhaps improve the current software acquisition process. The model is designed to match SPO mission objectives and functions with critical office tasks necessary to accomplish these objectives and functions. It then investigates/selects those PC software products which will best support the office task (s). This study consisted of five research objectives: 1. Determination of the effectiveness of currently available PC software applications used to support SPO tasks. 2. Determination of current processes SPOs use to identify PC software requirements. 3. Determination of methods SPOs currently use to acquire PC software products. 4. Determination of the effectiveness of present PC software requirements identification and procurement practices. 5. Determination of whether development of a tailored PC software requirements model for SPOs might improve the PC software acquisition process. Theses.
