COAST GUARD ENTERPRISE REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT POLICY
(a) Enterprise Requirements Management (ERM) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures
(TTP), CGTTP 4-09.6 (series)
(b) U.S. Coast Guard Configuration Management Manual, COMDTINST M4130.6 (series)
1. PURPOSE.
a. The purpose of this Instruction is to establish Coast Guard (CG) policy and authorities for
Enterprise Requirements Management (ERM). ERM is the process of managing stakeholder
needs in support of functional configuration baseline development and management. Functional
baselines provide the traceability required between organizational needs and demonstrated
outcomes, unambiguous goals and success criteria, essential for controlling complexity, risk, and
scope. ERM records and links the complete spectrum of CG requirements, from the statutory
mandates that define CG missions and regulate CG operations to the most basic policies,
procedures, and specifications that define its organization, processes, and assets. This policy is
designed to identify the interdependencies and interoperability of technical authority
requirements providing a holistic management of CG requirements. ERM captures but does not
govern the manner in which capital acquisition requirements are developed, generated, and
validated.
b. In support of this process, ERM establishes an authoritative, controlled requirements repository
to facilitate requirement gap analysis, capability redundancy analysis, requirement conflict
analysis, requirement prioritization, traceability analysis, requirement and capability reuse, and
configuration management of all CG enterprise requirements. Intended ERM users include all
CG Sponsors, Technical Authorities, Program Managers and Product Line Managers.
