Improvement in Safeguards and Security Programs Through Project Management Using Fractional Factorial Designs

The traditional project management approach has three phases; planning, execution and implementation. Using a project management approach, this paper focuses on experimental design techniques that quantify components to be changed during the improvement of safeguards and security processes. This approach then provides a baseline from which to document system improvements, identify factors that would provide improvement, test these factors in a cost-effective experimental design, implement the successful factors and document the improvement.
