Abstract
Incremental Commitment Model (ICM) with Ground Systems Applications
The Incremental Commitment Model (ICM), developed in a recent National Research Council study on integrating human factors into the systems development process, organizes systems engineering and acquisition processes in ways that better accommodate the different strengths and difficulties of hardware, software, and human factors engineering approaches. It also provides points at which they can synchronize and stabilize, and at which their risks of going forward can be better assessed and fitted into a risk-driven stakeholder resource commitment process. It is particularly well adapted to recent DoD acquisition initiatives such as Competitive Prototyping and the December 2008 revision of DoDI 5000.02. USC is currently developing a draft ICM-for-DoD guidebook for DoD.
This talk will summarize the ICM and illustrate its use with short Ground Systems examples. It will also show how its risk-driven nature enables the use of a decision table that can help new projects converge on a process that fits well with their particular process drivers.
