1. Identify Needed Systems Capabilities – Define the Measures of Effectiveness (MoE) Deliverables Based Planning®
DEFINE OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS THROUGH SCENARIOS OR USE CASES
Partition system capabilities into classes of service within operational scenarios
Connect capabilities to system requirements using sysML
Define Measures of Effectiveness (MoE) for these capabilities in units meaningful to the customer
Define in the master schedule the achievement of measure of Technical Performance
DEFINE CAPABILITIES NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT THE OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS
Define scenarios for each system capability
Connect these scenarios to the Value Stream map
Assess value flow through the map for each needed capability
Identify capability mismatches and make corrections to improve overall value flow
ASSESS NEEDS, COST, AND RISK SIMULTANEOUSLY
Assign costs to each system element using a value process model
Assure risk, probabilistic cost and benefit performance attributes are defined
Use cost, schedule, and technical performance probabilistic models to forecast potential risks to program performance
DEFINE EXPLICIT, BALANCED, AND FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVES
Make tradeoffs that connect cost, schedule, and technical performance in a single “trade space” model
Measures of Effectiveness and Measures of Performance are the raw materials for these tradeoffs
2. Establish Requirements Baseline – DEFINE MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE (MOP)
PERFORM FACT FINDING
Produce an overall statement of the problem in the operational context
Develop the overall operational and technical; objectives of the target system through Measures of Performance (MoP) for the requirements
Define the boundaries and interfaces of the target system
GATHER AND CLASSIFY THE REQUIREMENTS
Gather required operational capabilities, functional, nonfunctional, and environment requirements and design constraints
Build a Top-Down Capabilities and Functional decomposition of the requirements in a flow down tree using a requirements tool
EVALUATE AND RATIONALIZE THE REQUIREMENTS
Answer the question “why do we need this?” in terms of operational benefits
Build a cost / benefit model using probabilistic assessments of all variables and dependencies
For technical requirements, perform a risk assessment to the cost and schedule
PRIORITIZE THE REQUIREMENTS
Determine the criticality for the functions for the system’s mission
Determine tradeoff relations for all requirements to be used when option decision are made
For technical items, prioritize the cost and dependencies
INTEGRATE AND VALIDATE THE REQUIREMENTS
Address completeness of requirements by removing all TBD items
Validate the requirements agree and are traceable to capabilities, goals, and the mission
Resolve any requirement inconsistencies and conflicts

3. ESTABLISH PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT BASELINE – DEFINE TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES (TPM) DELIVERABLES BASED PLANNING®
DECOMPOSE REQUIREMENTS INTO WORK PACKAGES AND PLANNING PACKAGES
Decompose the program scope into a product based Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Decompose the WBS into Work Packages describing the production of all deliverables and processes traceable to the requirements
ASSIGN ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE DELIVERABLES FROM EACH WORK PACKAGE
Assign accountability for Work Packages to a named owner for the management of resource allocation, cost baseline, and technical delivery
ARRANGE WORK PACKAGES IN A LOGICAL ORDER
Arrange Work Packages in a network with defined deliverables, milestones, internal and external dependencies, appropriate schedule and cost margin
DEVELOP THE BUDGETED COST FOR WORK SCHEDULED (BCWS) FOR EACH WORK PACKAGE AND PLANNING PACKAGE
Develop a time‒phased Budgeted Cost for Work Scheduled (BCWS) for labor and material costs in each Work Package
Develop a time‒phased Budgeted Cost for Work Scheduled (BCWS) for the program as a whole
Assure proper resource allocations can be met and budget profiles match expectations of the program sponsor
ASSIGN WORK PACKAGE MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE (MOP), KEY PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS (KPP), AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES (TPM)
Assign an objective Measure of Performance (MoP) for each critical Work Package deliverable
Trace critical deliverables to the Measure of Effectiveness (MoE) defined in the Capabilities baseline
Summarize these Measures of Performance (MoP) and Measures of Effectiveness (MoE) for the program as a whole
Assign measures of Physical Percent Complete for each Work Package
Assign measures of Physical Percent Complete for the program as a whole
SET THE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT BASELINE (PMB)
Establish a Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) used to forecast Work Package and Project ongoing and completion cost and schedule metrics
4. Execute the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) – Maintain Cost, Schedule, and Technical Performance
PERFORM AUTHORIZED WORK IN THE PLANNED SEQUENCE
Using the Work Package sequencing, release work to be performed as planned
With the RACI based RAM, the Accountable delivery manager guides the development of the products or service for each Work Package
ACCUMULATE AND REPORT WORK PACKAGE PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE
Using Physical Percent complete or Apportioned Milestones, capture the measures of “progress to plan” for each Work Package
Report the Physical Percent Complete in a centralized system for each Work Package and he program as a whole
ANALYZE WORK PACKAGE PERFORMANCE
Compare the Actual Percent Complete against the Planned Percent Complete for each period of performance
Construct cost and schedule performance indices from this information and the Physical Percent Complete measures
TAKE CORRECTIVE MANAGEMENT ACTION FOR ANY VARIANCE IN WORK PACKAGE PERFORMANCE
With the cost and schedule performance indices, construct a forecast of future performance of cost, schedule, and technical performance compliance
Take management actions for any Work Packages not performing as planned
MAINTAIN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT BASELINE’S INTEGRITY
Record past performance based on Work Package completion criteria
Record previous future performance estimates in a historical database
Forecast future performance against the Performance Measurement Baseline
Report the future performance estimate to the program stakeholders

Projects Are Executed By Teams
¨ Deploying Deliverables Based Planning® is a team
activity.
¤ Walking the walking is a critical success factor for the
team.
¤ Start with Katzenbach’s definition of a team – “a small
number of people with complementary skills who are
committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and
working approach for which they hold themselves
mutually accountable.”

16.
Deploying and Successfully Executing DBP®
¨ For the success of DBP® management must NOT …
¤ Choose Status Over Results – status comes from reporting results
on the planned date, for the planned cost, that meets the planned
performance
¤ Choose Popularity Over Accountability – Katzenbach’s definition
of a team
¤ Choose Certainty Over Clarity – all projects are probabilistic
events, certainty is simply not possible
¤ Choose Harmony Over Healthy Conflict – Larry Bossidy, You
cannot have an execution culture without robust dialogue – one that
brings reality to the surface through openness, candor, and
informality. This is called “truth over harmony.
¤ Choose Invulnerability Over Trust – top down management will lay
the seeds for failure.
¨ To do any of these invites disappoint at best and failure at
worst.
