2.2.7.2 - Operational Transition

2.2.7.2-3 Level 2 Tasks

Tasks Applicable Mission Phases Description SFWC Artifacts References
2.2.7.2-3-1 Ensure adequate planning and analysis has been performed on the transition event(s) and that, if required, special operational transition procedures have been developed and are properly vetted Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure operational commands understand the implications and transition gates required to complete the transition. Ensure testing of unique transition components (e.g. individual sub-systems or system elements), if any. This task helps assess deployment products being developed and tested. NA NA TOR-2013-00219, Assessing and Preparing for Operational Readiness
2.2.7.2-3-2 Ensure the operational sites can execute contingency and fallback processes, and that these processes and agreements are understood and documented by provider and receiver organizations Phase D1 | Ensure operations planning for the transition events include rehearsal-like activities (for real-time operational activities as part of the transition and where the transition introduces operational risk) and contingency/fallback planning and exercises. This task helps assess deployment products being developed and tested. NA NA TOR-2013-00219, Assessing and Preparing for Operational Readiness
2.2.7.2-3-3 Ensure provider and receiver organizations agree on risks and impacts to users, assets, operations, acquisitions, and end users if transition is rejected or delayed Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure capture and review of these agreements. Ensure impacts cover government, commercial, civilian and international concerns/users. This task helps assess programs understanding of and strategy to mitigate operational risks induced by transition. NA NA TOR-2013-00219, Assessing and Preparing for Operational Readiness
2.2.7.2-3-4 Ensure government, contractor, and operations participants at product reviews take actions, communicate and effect changes and closures, and take appropriate actions to update documentation regarding those changes and closures Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure transition oversight involvement in day to day management of program, including level of review at major program design milestones and test events. Ensure transition planning and reviews are scheduled and executed as needed throughout the development and test cycles. Ensure engagement and participation of all affected organizations, not just operations and the development contractor. This may require additional scope for the contractor. Programs should consider scope for contractor involvement in transition planning during the RFP development. This task helps assess programs understanding of and strategy to mitigate operational risks induced by transition. NA NA TOR-2013-00219, Assessing and Preparing for Operational Readiness
2.2.7.2-3-5 Ensure special tools required for the transition are identified early in the program, validated and tested as they would be used during the transition. Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure the program has evaluated the technical details of the transition to determine if special tools are needed.
