| Sumario: | The complexity of program planning and management (PPM) for defense programs and related projects depends on the program types and associated budget size. In general, the defense program types can be classified into three categories, namely, normal program of record (POR), new program with traditional and/or well-defined acquisition strategy, and advanced concept technology (ACT) program. This chapter offers a new perspective on the development of an effective PPM plan for ACT programs. For the ACT program type, the traditional PPM is usually not applicable and required to be handled differently according to the uncertainty associated with the technical requirements and associated technology and corresponding cost risks. The chapter provides an overview of typical ACT PPM and associated planning, execution, and management activities from both government and contractor’s perspectives. In addition, the chapter attempts to (i) quantify the risks associated with ACT programs in terms of innovation indicators using simplified Cooper chart, and (ii) develop a set of recommended PPM activities that can be used as a basic framework for conducting the planning and execution of PPM of ACT programs. |
