2-11.2 Life Cycle Management Team

The life cycle management team is a cross-functional team (comprising members of the purchase/SCM team and members of the areas appropriate to the product) that supports the development of the life cycle support plan. The life cycle management team must be identified in all phases to support the effort and development of the support plan. The team consists of the client and about 5–10 members and typically includes:

  • Market analysts.
  • Pricing analysts.
  • Item managers.
  • Individuals from Quality Assurance (QA), Finance, Sales, SM, and Engineering (whose functions include hardware/software design, configuration management, maintenance, acceptance and performance, and process development).

Degrees of management and responsibility for the plan will transfer to these different members, depending upon the phase of the process.
