Slide 12. Preliminary Design Review (PDR) The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) is the next Pre-Milestone B review we cover in the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase. The PDR influences system design and support by ensuring that the allocated baseline is established. Each function in the functional baseline is allocated to one or more system configuration items to ensure traceability. Definition The PDR is a formal review that confirms the preliminary design logically follows the SFR findings and meets the requirements. It normally results in approval to begin detailed design. Key PDR Question The Preliminary Design Review answers many questions that will be addressed next. The key PDR question asks whether the system has a reasonable chance of being judged operationally effective, suitable and affordable before becoming a Program of Record (POR) at Milestone B. The LCL can address this key question using the inputs, entry criteria, Supportability questions, exit criteria and outputs discussed with the following slide.
