Key Performance Parameters

Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) are specifications for what the critical performance goals are in a United States Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition under the JCIDS process.[1]

JCIDS intent for KPPs is to have a few measures stated where the acquisition product either meets the stated performance measure or else the program will be considered a failure. (per instructions CJCSI 3170.01H – Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System).

The term is defined as "Performance attributes of a system considered critical to the development of an effective military capability. A KPP normally has a threshold representing the minimum acceptable value achievable at low-to-moderate risk, and an objective, representing the desired operational goal but at higher risk in cost, schedule, and performance. KPPs are contained in the Capability Development Document (CDD) and the Capability Production Document (CPD) and are included verbatim in the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB). KPPs are considered Measures of Performance (MOPs) by the operational test community. See Acquisition Program Baseline (APB), Validation Authority, Capability Development Document (CDD), Capability Production Document (CPD), 'Mandatory' Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), Threshold Value,Objective Value, and Measures of Performance (MOPs))."
