Subprocess: Program Formulation
Purpose: During Program Formulation, a project team is formed to fully develop a baseline mission concept and begin or assume responsibility for the development of needed technologies. This work, along with interactions with customers and other potential stakeholders, helps with the baselining of a mission concept and the program requirements on the project. These activities are focused toward System Requirements Review (SRR) and System Definition Review (SDR/PNAR) (or Mission Definition Review (MDR/PNAR)). The SRR and SDR/PNAR (or MDR/PNAR) process culminates in KDP B.
