Paper and Presentation: Multidimension Portfolio Management Structures: Missions, Capabilities, and Systems
Abstract: This paper will discuss approaches for management across multidimensional portfolios (systems, capabilities, missions) to expand and enhance performance management insights across the three portfolio types within the Department of Defense. Current portfolio management interacts with programmatic data across the three decision support systems: the Defense Acquisition System, the Joint Capabilities Integration & Development System, and the Planning, Programming, Budgeting & Execution Process. This information is often provided around individual programs, systems, and projects, not missions or capabilities, making portfolio management at the OSD level a challenge. Methods for developing a model-based systems programmatic (MBProg) structure that allows for capability and mission views and interfaces to Mission Engineering models are reviewed. The result is improved analysis and the ability to make data-driven decisions within the DoD Decisions Support Systems (D2S2) across multidimensional portfolios.
