Compliance & Certification Readiness
Per-Standard Readiness Matrix
The dashboard includes a detailed readiness matrix with 5 coverage metrics per standard:| Standard | Classification % | Decomposition % | Test Coverage % | RPN Scored % | Doc Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARP 4754A | 93% | 42.9% | 54.3% | N/A | 11 |
| ARP 4761 | N/A | N/A | N/A | 100% | 26 |
| DO-178C | 0.0% | 100% | 40% | N/A | 4 |
| DO-254 | 93.3% | 100% | 40% | 100% | 11 |
| DO-160G | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | 4 |
| MIL-STD-882E | N/A | N/A | N/A | 100% | 26 |
| DO-326A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | 1 |
- 🟢 Green: ≥80% complete
- 🟡 Orange: 50–79% complete
- 🔴 Red: <50% complete
- ⚪ Gray: Not applicable (N/A) for this standard
Metric Definitions
- Classification %: Requirements with required classification field populated / total requirements at that level
- Decomposition %: Requirements with parent-child traceability links / total requirements at that level
- Test Coverage %: Requirements with linked test cases / total requirements
- RPN Scored %: Failure modes with post-mitigation RPN value calculated / total failure modes
- Doc Count: Number of specification documents in the Requirements, Design, and Risk spaces
Some standards (DO-326A Security, DO-160G Environmental) may show N/A metrics if threat assessment or environmental testing has not yet been populated. Review the Certification Readiness Scorecard report for detailed evidence per objective.
Risk Posture Summary
The dashboard displays risk metrics aggregated from all failure mode analysis documents:| Metric | Formula | Aero1 FCC Example |
|---|---|---|
| High RPN (>30) | Failure modes with post-mitigation RPN > 30 | 3 modes |
| Medium RPN (11–30) | Failure modes with post-mitigation RPN 11–30 | 70 modes |
| Low RPN (≤10) | Failure modes with post-mitigation RPN ≤ 10 | 187 modes |
| Risk Controls Implemented | Risk controls with status = implemented or in-progress | 214 of 214 (100%) |
| Risk Control Coverage | Failure modes with at least one linked risk control | 98.5% of 260 FM |

System Architecture Reference
The Program Manager Dashboard aggregates metrics from a multi-level system decomposition. The reference architecture (Aero1 Flight Control Computer) follows a 3-level hierarchy:
The Program Manager Dashboard metrics are computed live via Velocity queries against work item counts and document status fields. Access the dashboard in Polarion at Project Home → Program Manager Dashboard or via the Dashboards quick-link menu.
