NewVectors Takes a Comprehensive Approach to Program Support
DoD systems succeed when there is a comprehensive and forward-looking plan for supporting the government organization in adapting processes to meet new requirements and effectively utilizing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technology. We look at all aspects of the organization to establish an integrated whole-systems process and accompanying change management approach. Successful programs are dependent on buy-in at every level, adoption of a benefits realization mindset, and active participation of stakeholders from budget and planning, through implementation and support.
Life-Cycle Systems Engineering Management (LSE)
Good program management processes provide the necessary foundation for successful LSE. NewVectors’ LSE approach is drawn from industry best practices, such as the Capability and Maturity Model (CMM) and Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) and includes:
- Program Planning and Project Control - program readiness assessment, program management plans, and PM Office organizational design
- Change Management and Communications - for stakeholder support of new programs and identifying and communicating benefits of change
- Integrated Product Team Management - to initiate and sustain the operation of high performance teams
- Configuration and Requirements Management - to eliminate uncontrolled scope creep and manage change
- Risk Management - to anticipate and mitigate program risks
- Test Management - to assure that requirements are met
- Portfolio Management - to manage IT portfolios as key mission investments
