Analysis and Summary of Business Processes and Requirements for JIFFY R & D Program Management Software Capabilities

摘要

This document describes the methodology and requirements for a subset of the functionality of the JIFFY R&D Program Management software, scheduled for deployment at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in September 2003. The incorporation of new capabilities for the Laboratory Management Review process and the AFRL 2913 LMR reporting form required the formation of a focus group to investigate current business processes and make recommendations for the software design, build and testing of new software modules for JIFFY. This document specifically describes the outcome of the focus group's efforts. The purpose of the JIFFY software program is to provide an automated tool that is customized for managing AFRL Research and Development (R&D) program execution and to host a common repository for data elements related to Technical Programs for Scientists and Engineers (S&E), Financial & Administrative, Plans & Programs and Management Staff.
