| Data Conversion Plan - This document describes the approach to converting legacy data to a new format/database. The plan describes the tool(s) to be used, the types of automated and manual processes to be used, how data anomalies and errors are handled, and how converted data will be validated to ensure it is correct prior to its use in the new production system. This plan may be either a project office or contractor responsibility. |
| Data Item Description (DID) - A Data Item Description describes the specific format, content and level of detail for a contractor deliverable. This document is generally included or referenced in the RFP and is not negotiable. |
| Data Manipulation Language (DML) - A family of computer languages that are used by computer programs or database users to retrieve, insert, delete and update data in a database. |
| Data Reference Model - is a framework to enable information sharing and reuse via the standard description and discovery of common data and the promotion of uniform data management practices. |
| Data Type - Identifies the kind of information that a column in a database table represents. The data types (e.g. string, integer, and date) are physical representations and are dependent on the actual DBMS. |
| Database Definition Language (DDL) - This is the syntax that a given DBMS understands and is used to manipulate the structure of the database, from initial database creation to additions, modifications and deletions of all database objects (tables, columns, indexes, etc.) to the eventual removal of the database. Another term used for DDL is ''schema''. |
| Database Management System (DBMS) - A DBMS contains and controls information in some structured form so that it can be accessed in an efficient manner. |
| Decomposition - Subdivision of the major project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components until the deliverables are defined in sufficient detail to support future project activities (planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing). |
| Defect - Nonconformance of characteristics with specified requirements, or a deficiency in something necessary for an item's intended, proper use. |
| Deliverable - A work product produced by a contractor or consultant in accordance with the terms of their contract. It is measureable, tangible, verifiable outcome, result, or item that must be produced to complete a project or part of a project.
|
| Deliverable Expectation Document (DED) - A DED presents peritinent information (e.g., deliverable description, applicable industry standards SOW reference, acceptance criteria and schedule) specifying the expectations of a deliverable. The DED is reviewed and approved by a state manager to ensure agreed-upon expectations are clearly defined before the deliverable is actually developed. The DED is not attached to any present payment. |
| Deliverable Management - Administrative tracking of all contractual deliverables generated by a contractor or consultant. A subset of document management that includes logging receipt of a deliverable, reviewing the deliverable against its administrative requirements, approving and disapproving the deliverable submittal, and handling deficiencies with the deliverable. Deliverable management does not include a qualitative evaluation of the deliverable quality (see Quality Management). Deliverable Management is similar to Document Management, and is a subset of Configuration Management, but is usually associated with the Contract Management Plan. |
| Dependency - Logical relationship between and among tasks of project's WBS, which can be graphically depicted on a network diagram. |
| Dependent Tasks - Tasks that are related such that the beginning or end of one task is contingent on the beginning or end of another. |
| Design Review - Formal, documented, comprehensive, and systematic examination of a design to evaluate is capability to meet specified requirements, identify problems, and propose solutions. |
| Detailed Design - Output of system design; a technical or engineering description of a system that provides individual views of the system components; details on the physical layout of the system; and information on the system's individual applications, subsystems, and hardware components. |
| DGS Alternative Procurement Request Form - A letter written by the project to DGS requesting permission to conduct an alternative procurement. The request is submitted to DGS with the project’s ITPP. Most of OSI’s projects are considered alternative procurements because the exact nature of the solution and products to be used are not known when the procurement is conducted. Refer to SAM Section 5215. |
| Direct Project Costs - Costs directly attributable to a project, including all personnel, goods, or services and their associated costs, but not including indirect project costs, such as overhead and general office costs incurred in support of the project. |
| Documentation - Collection of reports, information, records, references, and other project data for distribution and archival purposes. |
| Document Control - System to control and execute project documentation in a uniform and orderly fashion. |
