Program Manager
Program Risk Manager
Product Support Manager
Program Integration Manager
Key enterprise players the PM and PSM engage during LCSP development are Combat and Joint Operational Commands (Warfighter), the Financial Community, and what other Communities? Select the
TWO that apply.
Program and Acquisition Communities
Communications Community
Oversight and Judicial Communities
Sustainment Community
Sustainment metrics provide the common thread to integrate the product support elements and to align the behaviors required to achieve the desired materiel readiness outcome across the entire enterprise.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT an example a “Desing to” metric for Maintainability:
Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT)
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)

What metrics are required to achieve a system’s Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), Key System Attributes (KSA), and Additional Performance Attributes (APA) across the life cycle?
Input-based Metrics
Life Cycle Sustainment Outcome Metrics
Potential Additional Outcome Metrics
Behavior-based Outcome Metrics
True or False: Additional Outcome Metrics that are “design-to” metrics that support the mandatory Life Cycle Sustainment Outcome Metrics should be coordinated with systems engineers and included in the design specifications.
True
False

In the Operations and Support phase, the LCSP documents which items? Select TWO that apply.
Tracking metrics and adjustment plans
Setting metrics thresholds and test methods
Adjustments to fielding plans
Required new sustainment technologies for initial design
