ENCLOSURE C INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT 1. Background: IT programs are dynamic in nature and have, on average, produced improvements in performance 12-18 months. In recognition of this, the JROC requires that IT programs have the flexibility and the planning in place to incorporate evolving technologies throughout the lifecycle of the program. 2. Purpose. The purpose of the Box” is to describe the overall bounds of an “IT IT program in order to facilitate program initiation, as well as to reduce subsequent return trips to the JROC for approval of improved capabilities as the program is executed. The information in the chart will be provided to the JCB/JROC as part of the approval process for any IT program CDD. For programs beyond Milestone B, the IT Box will be included in the approval process for their CPD. 3. Definition. For the purposes of this section, the Box” applies to systems “IT where there is no need to develop hardware systems (i.e., they use commercial off-the-shelf hardware). Research and development funding is spent solely on software development. 4. Description. The four sides of the Box” (Figure C-1) are intended to “IT present and frame the complete program for JCB and JROC members using one slide. The information covers organization and oversight of the program, hardware refresh and system enhancements, integration, application and system software development, and KPP. These four areas should provide a clear understanding to the JCB and JROC that the program has an oversight
