− | This plan defines the stages of integration, during which system elements are successively integrated to form higher level elements, and eventually the finished product.
| + | == Primary Management Roles and Responsibilities == |
| + | ===Requirements Management=== |
| + | '''Requirements''' are the foundation of the project and requirements management process helps ensure delivery of capability that meets intended mission performance objectives.<br> |
| + | Performance objectives are identified in operational terms at the system level during implementation of the '''Requirements''' Definition and '''Requirements''' Analysis processes.<br> |
| + | The Subsystems Integrator has these '''Requirements Management''' responsibilities: |
| + | *maintain a current and approved set of '''Requirements''' |
| + | *thoughtful analysis and management of '''Requirements''' insuring for subsystem integration and system performance |
| + | *synchronization with the program’s Configuration Management process to mitigate unintended consequences due to project change |
| + | *rigorous documentation of changes to the system performance specification |
| | | |
− | The integration plan should include a description of the required teams, test standards, testing methods, and integration schedule.
| + | ===Process Responsibilities=== |
| + | *tracks '''Requirements''' changes and maintains traceability of the system performance specification and capabilities |
| + | *traces the high-level '''Requirements''' down to the system elements through the lowest level of the design as the system design evolves to lower levels of detail |
| + | *establishes and maintains a '''Requirements''' Traceability Matrix (RTM) |
| + | *#capturing all '''Requirements''' in the system performance specification |
| + | *#documenting their decomposition/derivation and allocation history |
| + | *#document rationale for all entries and changes |
| + | *work with Project Management Team to track cost, schedule, and performance impacts associated with '''Requirements''' changes |
| + | |
| + | ===Risk Management=== |
| + | *prioritize identified technical risks and developing mitigation actions |
| + | *provide risk mitigation plan to PM for review and approval |
| + | |
| + | '''Risk Management focal points''' |

| + | |
| + | ===Configuration Management=== |
| + | Configuration management is the means by which the results of the systems engineering effort are documented and tracked as changes occur. |
| + | |
| + | Configuration Management process |
| + | *has a formal document and plan to guide the Configuration Management |
| + | *allows technical insight into all levels of the system design |
| + | *principal methodology for establishing and maintaining consistency of subsystem’s attributes |
| + | **design |
| + | **functional |
| + | **performance |
| + | **physical |
| + | *consists of interrelated functions that maintain consistency between project configuration information |
| + | #Responsibilities and Resources |
| + | #Administrative meeting guidelines including a definition of procedures and tools |
| + | #Baselining processes |
| + | #Configuration control and Configuration status accounting |
| + | #Naming conventions |
| + | #Audits and Reviews |
| + | #Configuration Identification |
| + | #Configuration Change Management |
| + | #Configuration Status Accounting |
| + | |
| + | ===Interface Management=== |
| + | *careful interface documentation ensures proper '''function''' and '''interoperability''' |
| + | *ensures that all the development teams document all internal and external interface requirements |
| + | *documents '''Requirements''' changes in accordance with the Configuration Management Plan |
| + | *communicates interface information to team counterparts responsible for affected systems and system elements |
| + | *drives coherent testing to verify expected performance and eventually operational performance |
| + | *an iterative process |
| + | *as knowledge of the system and system elements becomes more defined during design activities, verifiable lower-level requirements and interfaces are defined and refined |
| + | *consider impacts of the originally defined capabilities and interfaces, and the overall system when defining and modifying interfaces |
