1.32 Guidance provided in the range of documents, including the Capability Definition Documentation (CDD) Guide, has been updated to address identified problems and to align with contemporary practice. In 2010-11, the improvement program concentrated on updating the extant CDD and developing a CDD 'Lite'. The CDD 'Lite', designed to provide guidance on Requirements Development for minor projects and less complex major projects where full application of the CDD Guide is not warranted, is in the final stages of review before promulgation. The guide for development of function and performance specifications has been reviewed to clarify the use of 'essential' requirements in tender and contract documents.
1.33 The DMO is continuing to develop components of a Requirements Management System which will support sound requirements management across acquisition and sustainment activities. The 'Requirements Management Training Course' is the cornerstone of the Requirements Management System and is now a standard training course within DMO.
