AFIT Hubble Space Telescope Case Study

• Describe which case study you chose and why.
• Explain what is interesting to you about this case study.
• Select sections of the case study to use for the following sections of the final project for planning purposes in the next milestones: Systems Life-Cycle, Requirements, Trade-Off Studies, and Risk Management.
• Systems Life-Cycle
  1. Illustrate the principal products and activities of the development project. What development process was used? To what extent did the development process reflect your understanding of the systems life-cycle? What best practices were missing? To the extent possible, use specific examples to illustrate. If the required information is not readily available or is incomplete in the case study, you may make assumptions, as long as they are clearly stated.
  2. Analyze the deployment of the system. For example, how was the system integrated (i.e., the pieces put together and installed into the operational environment)? How was the system fielded? What lessons were learned? To the extent possible, use specific examples to illustrate. If the required information is not readily available or is incomplete in the case study, you may make assumptions, as long as they are clearly stated.
  3. Examine the plans for the future of the system. For example, how will the system be maintained (e.g., repaired and updated)? How is the future evolution of the system being planned and managed? To the extent possible, use specific examples to illustrate. If the required information is not readily available or is incomplete in the case study, you may make assumptions, as long as they are clearly stated.
