11 204 STUDENT COMMENTS The Good Complete and comprehensive, well organized and useful. The examples were really good. The material was broken down in a way that was easy to understand. I would have been overwhelmed if it was not presented this way. One of the best DAU classes I have had, looking forward to more courses Laid out logically. The examples were very helpful The Slightly Less Good, But Useful Hyperlinks that don t, print buttons that won t Technical issues with delivery Course material relevancy vs. currently assigned position Course length or redundancy 11

12 PLD/Course Manager Assessment Course is successful, well regarded Important technical field to the workforce CM is a LCL Competency SPRDE Program Systems Engineer (PSE) Core Certification Course Level II DAU Section and Instructor capacity adequate at this time We have symbiosis with Systems Engineering SMEs Ongoing demand? DOD Configuration Management Standards Working Group: probable new DOD Mil-Std for CM in FY14 Updates Last update completed early 2013 re references, content, links, and assessments Refresh underway this summer, possible revision FY14 Possible Mission Assist for Army Joint Staff being evaluated by CNE ADOMA 12
