New CCG Work Item requirement: Heilmeier Questions #173

Closed vsnt closed 3 years ago

vsnt commented 3 years ago

Creating a separate distinct issue out of this comment which was added to #138 based on chair conversations. I am splitting this off to reduce scope creep on that issue. This references the CCG Process.

Based on feedback, I propose the following questions to be asked of all prospective task forces and work items.

  1. Explain what you are trying to do using no jargon or acronyms.
  2. How is it done today, and what are the limits of the current practice?
  3. What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
  4. How are you involving participants from multiple skill sets and global locations in this work item? (technical, design, product, marketing, anthropological, UX)
  5. If you are successful, what difference will it make?
  6. What are the risks?
  7. How long will it take? What are the checks for success?
  8. What actions are you taking to make this work item accessible to a non-technical audience?

For reference, here are the original set of questions per that thread.

Non-jargon communication.

  1. Answer the Heilmeier Questions: https://www.darpa.mil/work-with-us/heilmeier-catechism
  2. What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.
  3. How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?
  4. What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
  5. Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will it make?
  6. What are the risks?
  7. How much will it cost?
  8. How long will it take?
  9. What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success?
  10. Identify the primary audience for the work item & how will they use it?

Diversity and inclusion.

  1. How are you involving participants from multiple skill sets in this work item? (technical, design, product, marketing, anthropological, UX)
  2. How are you involving participants from various global locations in this work item? (Americas, Euro, Asia-Pacific, South America)
  3. How do you plan to involve non-technical subject matter experts & end users of your work item? How will you work item improve their lives?
  4. What actions are you taking to make this work item accessible to a non-technical audience?
