Contact a program within your organization and research how they analyzed, allocated, and flowed down their SPS requirements to the various system levels of abstraction. Document your findings and observations.

Avoid specifying programs and individuals by name.

(a) What methods, such as the System Capabilities Matrix, did the program use to ensure that: 1) all required operational capabilities were addressed in the SPS and 2) they fully understood the implications of satisfying the requirements as evidenced by derivation of lower level requirements.

(b) Were the SPS requirements identified via an organized analytical process or random accumulations of requirements? Report your findings and observations.
