    Description
    How the contractual process influences the effort.

    Risks:

    • Does the contract include requirements for necessary engineering and management processes and policies?

    • Are there multiple contractors involved in the program?
      • Did analysis determine who best to do integration - government or contractor?
      • Is the Government responsible for integration?
      • Is a Prime Contractor responsible for integration?
      • Has an integration contract been authorized, planned, and implemented?

    • Is the contractor able to complete agreed to functionality within defined guidelines?

    • Are there sufficient incentives?

    • Is the Government aware of the work required to complete the job within budget and schedule?
