DAU HOT TOPIC FORUM
"Naval Probability of Program Success (NPoPS)"
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Packard Center, Fort Belvoir, VA
The DAU Alumni Association, the DAU School
of Program Managers and the DAU
Acquisition Community Connection are
co-sponsoring this Hot Topic Forum
focusing on the Department of the Navy
approach to the Probability of
Program Success methodology and toolset.
The presentation will focus on how the
Naval PoPS methodology provides a
means to measure current program health,
risks, or issues that could
adversely impact successful program
execution. While there is a PoPs
program in the other services as well,
Naval PoPS version 1 was developed
and released in October 2008 and has been
used successfully for Navy and
Marine Corps "Gate Reviews", as well as any
time program health is
discussed. Naval PoPS version 2 is in
the process of being jointly approved
for implementation by the Navy and Marine
Corps and will be covered in the
presentation. Enhancements over
version 1 include new scoring methodology,
database tool functionality, as well as the
addition of the new Technology
Protection Metric. This presentation
is especially pertinent in view of the
current Office of SecDef initiative to
possibly move toward some
standardization of the PoPS tool across the
services.
The guest speaker is Mr. Ricardo Cabrera,
Deputy Chief Systems Engineer,
Office of the Assistant Secretary of the
Navy (Research, Development and
Acquisition). Mr. Cabrera has
extensive experience in implementing
information technology programs within the
Department of the Navy.
The Forum is open to all DAU staff, faculty
and students, defense industry
professionals (Alumni Association
associates have highest priority), Office
of the SecDef staff, and government
acquisition employees. The Forum is
part of the DAU Staff and Faculty
Enrichment Program and also provides one
Continuous Learning Point (CLP) towards
meeting continuous learning
requirements for government acquisition
certification. To register and

and development event, please
