GM-VV Reference Manual
Introduction

• Purpose
• Provide a Comprehensive Source of Information on
  the Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics of the
  GM-VV
• Intended Audience
• MS Sponsors, Program Managers Costumers
• VVA Organization Actors
• Scope
• Foundations and Architecture of the GM-VV

6
GM-VV Rationale

• VVA Vision
• Assessment of Confidence in the Proper Use of the
  MS
• Objectives
• Analysis and Evaluation of MS related to the
  Intended Purpose
• Assess Impact of Uncertainty and Trustworthiness
  of MS
• Address and Support for VVA Issues
• MS Problem Owner
• MS Sponsor
• VVA Project Manager
• VV Executioners

GM-VV Context
VVA Needs" View as the Initial Condition

• VVA Needs
• Precise Statement of VVA Project Objectives
• Should Take into Account Project Context
• Problem Owner Objectives
• MS Product Intended Purpose
• Etc
• Should Take into Account Project Constraints
• MS Timeframe, Concurrent v.s. Post-Hoc/Reuse
  VVA
• Resources (budget, schedule, skills, ...)
• Risk- Benefit Analysis (Negative Outcome of Uses,
  ...)
• Etc
• Input for the GM-VV Activities

9
GM-VV Context
Builds upon the Three Pillars" Concept
Goals

• Basic Project Management Concept
• Used for Methodology Design
• Identifies the Components Relations
• Organization of VVA Project
• Guidance for Assessment of MS

10
GM-VV Context
Actual Application by means of Tailoring

• Adapts the Generic Methodology to Fit a Specific
  VVA Project
• Takes into Account
• GM-VV Components Itself
• VVA Project Context
• VVA Project Constraints
• Results in
• A Workable Instantiated VVA Process
• An Actual VVA Organization
• Detailed Description of the VVA Products to be
  Delivered
• VVA Project Planning and Allocation of Resources

11
GM-VV Components
Elementary Building Blocks

Acceptance (Decision)

• Supported by
• MP Evidence
• Completeness
• Relevance
• Independence
• Reliability
• Well-Balanced
• Etc.

GM-VV Compliancy
By means of Tailoring Requirements

• Adopting the Core Concepts of Acceptance (N,U,V,C
  MP) and Evidence-Based Argumentation
• Realisation of VVA Project Organisation based on
  the GM-VV Organisation Components
• Implementation Execution of the Actual VVA
  Process based on the GM-VV Activity Model
• Production of the Core GM-VV Products
• Acceptance Plan Report
• VV Plan Report
• Items of Evidence
• Documentation and Exchange of all VVA Process
  Information according the GM-VV Project Memory
  Concept and Templates

GM-VV User Manual
Introduction

• Purpose
• Provide a Prescriptive Guidance How-To Utilise
  and Deploy the GM-VV for VVA of MS
• Cover all Necessary Operational Concepts and
  Procedures to do VVA with the GM-VV Components
• Intended Audience
• Persons Responsible for VVA Project Management
  and Planning
• Scope
• Guidance on Designing a VVA Project Organization
• Guidance on Scheduling Execution of VVA
  Project Activities
• Guidance on Tailoring the GM-VV Components for a
  VVA Project

GM-VV User Manual
VVA Project Organisation Design Guidance

• Trade-Off between VVA Project Context
  Constraints
• Trust vs. independence vs. costs vs. risks vs.
  impact
• Depends on MS Product Composition
• Not all MS Components are Equally Critical or
  Have Same Impact
• Types of VVA Assessment Required
• SVV gt Supplier does all VV for Costumer
• IA gt Supplier does VV but 3rd Party Assess the
  work for Costumer
• IVV gt 3rd Party does all VV for Costumer
• Party Selection Criteria
• Trustworthiness, Experience, Recognition Level,
• Actor Selection Criteria
• Activity/Task Specific Skills, Knowledge, .
