Ep 045 "CG Excursion Praxis: Rational Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) (Part Two)"

I continue a rather technical treatment of developing and using Concepts of Operations (CONOPS).

This episode examines the finer points of getting baselines and expectations right for small and large projects alike.

If you take these simple concepts for building a CONOPS to include how to do decomposition in Product Breakdown Structures (PBS) and Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) as described in MILSTD 881F and apply it wherever you happen to work at a small or large company, everybody will be in awe of the black magic you perform and it a. guaranteed Return on Investment (ROI) in how much money you will save downstream.
