Concept Evaluation & Program Definition
STA works with program managers at the onset of proposed programs to help determine potential benefits, risks and costs associated with the program. STA also works with program managers to define the overall structure and reach of their programs. STA’s program definition services typically involve a multi-stage process in which STA employees, consultants and subject matter experts become involved in a series of tasks.

-

-
Conceptualizing and refining program objectives

Developing roadmaps that address high-risk technical challenges
-
