The Applicability of Program Management Approach in the Defense Acquisition Projects in Order to Avoid Deviations
Abstract
Defense acquisition process contains initiatives aiming to maintain defense capabilities needed, by making use of the most sophisticated technologies under legal and financial constraints. Increasing number and complexity of those initiatives and also the necessity of developing them integratedly causes defense projects to deviate to a certain extent. In this study, following a brief discussion on the deviations of defense projects in terms of defense planning process, Program Management Approach, which may be defined briefly as managing a number of complicated projects for deriving common interests has been introduced. Following that, an alternative governance model which is based on the program management concept has been proposed, in order to manage defense resources in a more organized way. As a consequence, a number of inferences about the applicability of program management approach have been made in consideration of this research and interviews.
