ESMA 651 Systems Acquisition Lifecycle
Complex system acquisitions require a holistic approach that takes into consideration the lifecycle to fully address operational and budgetary ramifications. Acquisition frameworks exist, such as US DOD 5000 series of standards, to guide the process of acquiring systems through defining decision points and a sequence of reviews. The course emphasizes Integrated Life Cycle Management which encompasses all phases and functions (e.g., requirements identification) necessary for effective acquisition and sustainment of systems.
