The Technical Planning Process is the method to define the scope of the technical effort required to develop, field, and sustain the system, as well as provides critical quantitative inputs to program planning and life-cycle cost estimates. Technical planning provides the program office with a framework to accomplish the technical activities that collectively increase product maturity and knowledge and reduce technical risks. This sub-topical area contains information on the Technical Planning Process found in the DAG Chapter 4 section 4.3.2 [https://acc.dau.mil/dag4.3.2].
