Capability Management—Program Layer Course

Join edVirtus as we present Dr Mike Ryan & Dr Shari Soutberg for this 2-day course which provides an overview of how program management is applied to military capability as part of Defence Capability Management. Attendees will be shown the different forms of Defence capability and delivery Programs and the practical considerations for their implementation. The course highlights the important relationship between program management, Defence capability analysis, and engineering methods in defining and delivering joint force outcomes, interoperability, and acquisition and sustainment efficiencies. The use of key constructs and methods including System of Systems (SoS), Systems Engineering, Mission Engineering, and Enterprise Architecture will be explained particularly for development of CLC Program-level documents including: the Capability Program Directive (CPgD), the Program Operational Concept (POC), and Program Strategy (PS). A guided walkthrough of these artefacts is provided, and a number of exercises are introduced to provide attendees practice in their development. The course is delivered live with presenters engaging with students in real time. The registration links are active now.
