| 4.4.8-1-1 Ensure government involvement with design implementation and verification process that considers all disciplines involved, and all interface organizations |
Phase A |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure an assessment of required government talent (including government personnel, FFRDC, contractors) is conducted, consistent with program execution. A government plan should be in place with defined resourcing and accountabilities for each phase of the program.

Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure tracking and resolution activities are documented for any critical issues, as defined by the program. Ensure issues have closeout mitigation plans with schedules and resources that show acceptable closing for successful program execution within cost and schedule constraints.

| 4.4.8-1-3 Ensure that the program executability methodology incorporates independent analysis and/or reviews to validate design, build and final product |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure that independent reviews be considered for manufacturing issues, parts issues, and issues involving Functional Configuration Audits, Physical Configuration Audits. Ensure that independent reviews be considered for: Like-you-fly tests and exceptions, critical qualification margins, single point failures, first flight items, nonconformance items, anomalies, escapes, unverified failures, out of sequence work, extensive redesign, out-of-family measurements, general supplier issues in manufacturing, new design implementations, schedule and performance concerns, etc.

| 4.4.8-1-7 Ensure relevant propulsion mission assurance requirements documents are included or excluded intentionally in accordance with the program risk posture |
Phase 0 |
Phase A |
|
Ensure relevant propulsion mission assurance requirements documents are included within the requirements baseline or, if excluded, the exclusion was intentional and in accordance with the program risk posture. Note that some documents like AFSPCMAN 91-710 must be adhered to regardless of contract structure in order to be launched, and that Air Force requirements like AFI 91-217 are mandatory, meaning that they have to be addressed regardless of inclusion in the contract.
