Communications
Understanding our Environment
Tell the Marine to secure a building
they will kill everybody and point guns at the
building.
Tell the Air Force to secure a building
they will drive everybody out and lease the
building to the highest bidder.
Tell the Army to secure a building
they will surround the building and point guns at
the house.
Tell the Navy to secure a building
they will turn off all the lights, lock up the
house, and go home.
5
Project Management (PM) Terms
  • Project - A temporary endeavor undertaken to
    create a unique product or service.
  • ATOP or VSCS - Project has a specific purpose
    with a start and an end date.
  • Project Management - the Application of
    Knowledge, Skills, Tools, and Techniques to
    Project Activities to Meet Project Requirements.

6
Project Management Terms II
  • Program - A group of related projects managed in
    a coordinated way. Programs usually include an
    element of ongoing activity.
  • CPDLC, SMA, URET CCLD, pFAST,as FFP1
  • PM Tools Development as part of Program
    Management
  • A Project/Program Manager (PM) - The Individual
    Responsible for Managing a Project/Program.

7
Project Management Terms III
  • Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - A
    deliverable-oriented grouping of project elements
    that organizes and defines the total scope of the
    project. Each descending level represents an
    increasingly detailed definition of a project
    work.

8
Project Management Terms IV
  • FAA standard wbs1-0.ppt
  • WBS Dictionary 3.1
  • Requirement to use FAA Standard WBS Mandatory

9
Project Management Terms V
  • Deliverable Tangible, verifiable work
    product/service.
  • Work Package A deliverable at the lowest level
    of the work breakdown structure. A work package
    may be divided into activities.
  • Activity - Work elements with expected duration,
    cost, resources that may be subdivided into
    tasks.

10
Project Management Terms VI
  • Stakeholder Individuals or Organizations that
    will be Impacted by the Outcome of a Project.
  • OBS An Organizational Chart Relating Work
    Packages to Organization Units.
  • Responsibility Matrix Relates Organization
    Structure to WBS Ensures that each Element of
    the Projects Scope is Assigned to a Responsible
    Individual(s).

Systems Engineering/PM Relationship I
  • PM Needs SE for
  • Integrated PM System Design Implementation

  • SE Needs PM for
  • Planning and tracking
  • Managing Resources
  • PM System Designer Must Understand both
  • SE Not Necessary for PM Practitioners

13

    Sub-System
  • Quality Management

  • SE - Ensure Product Meets the Technical or
    Quality Specifications

14
Systems Engineering/PM Relationship - III
  • Configuration Management
  • PM - Ensure Integrity of Schedule and System for
    Schedule Management
  • SE - Ensure Integrity of the System as Designed
  • Change Management
  • PM - Changes to Project Scope
  • SE - Changes to System Requirement
  • Measurement
  • PM Program cost schedule performance
  • SE Technical Performance

PM Process Groups
Project Information Flow
17
PM Process Flow
18
Initiation Processes
  • Identify project and sponsor
  • Appoint Project Manager
  • Train team on
  • Project Management Process
  • Project Plan (PMIP)
  • Develop Program Directive to Include
  • WBS that Covers the Scope
  • High-level Milestones
  • Budget resources

19
Planning Processes I
  • Identify Life Cycle approach
  • Evolutionary (AMS 6101, Section 2.2)
  • Incremental
  • Waterfall
  • Risk Management plan

20
Planning Processes II
  • Get approval for Program Directive
  • Identify quality standards - use specs, IEEE,
    ISO, PMBOK
  • Organizational structure
  • Communications - who needs, what
  • Acquire human resources for projects

21
Planning Processes III (Schedule Development)
  • Update Decompose WBS
  • Identify activities
  • Sequence
  • Estimate duration
  • Estimate cost
  • Allocate resources to work packages
  • Baseline schedule

22
Planning Processes IV
  • Risk management detail
  • Identification
  • Analysis
  • Response
  • Procurement

23
Implementation/Execution Processes
  • Use the PMIP to execute project activities
  • Assess Technical Performance to assure product
    acceptance
  • Distribute project information
  • Make purchases
  • Develop team skills/competencies
  • Develop a Configuration Management plan

24
Performance Measurement
  • Variances
  • Performance Indices
  • Schedule performance Index (SPI)
  • Cost performance Index (CPI)
  • Earned Value Management System (EVMS)

25
Earned Value Management System Highlights
  • What is EVMS
  • Planning for EVMS
  • Tracking Analysis
  • Elements of EV Analysis
  • Project Cost Schedule Forecasting
  • EV Reporting

26
Earned Value Management System (EVMS) - I
  • EV - Tool for Measuring Project Performance
  • Integrates Cost, Scope Schedule measurements
  • Compares work actually accomplished to work
    planned
  • EV is an Early Warning System
  • Helps management make proactive decisions to keep
    projects on course

27
Earned Value Management System (EVMS) - II
  • Involves Calculating 3 key Elements
  • Budget - BCWS
  • Actual Cost - ACWP
  • Earned Value/Physical Progress - BCWP
  • Basis for variance analysis

28
Planning for EVMS - I
  • Create a work breakdown structure
  • Organize work into discrete work packages and
    activities
  • Allocate a budget to each of the activities
  • Develop a schedule and Assign resources
  • Must include all project work in the schedule
  • Establish the Project Baseline

29
Planning for EVMS - II
  • Award performance credit for physical complete
  • 0-100
  • Short duration tasks lt 160 hours
  • EV is Zero until activity is complete
  • 50-100
  • Duration less than 600 hours
  • 50 at start of activity 50 at completion

30
Planning for EVMS - III
  • Interim milestone
  • Duration less than 600 hours
  • Based on completed milestone for task
  • Level of Effort (LOE)
  • Long duration consistent tasks
  • Difficult to measure - no deliverables
  • Measured by duration of time used e.g. 10 weeks
    support is 50 complete at 5 weeks

31
Tracking Analysis
  • Each update cycle/Reporting Period
  • Obtain physical complete for each task
  • Calculate EV for each task
  • Sum up EV for all tasks as project EV
  • Calculate actual expenditure for actual work
    completed during the period
  • Compare the Cumulative EV to Actual expenditure

32
Elements of EV Analysis - I
  • Performance indices relate value of work
    performed to dollar spent. e.g. CPI 0.65 means
    that for every dollar spent, actual value of the
    work performed is 0.65.
  • Cumulative CPI used to forecast project cost at
    completion
  • Cumulative SPI used to forecast project
    completion date

33
Elements of EV Analysis - II
  • Cost Variance - Difference between budgeted cost
    an activity actual cost of that activity
  • CV EV - ACWP
  • Schedule Variance - Difference between scheduled
    completion actual completion of an activity
  • SV EV - BCWS

34
Elements of EV Analysis - III
  • SPI EV/Planned Value
  • SPI gt 1.0, Project Schedule performing as
    planned or better
  • SPI lt 1.0, Project not performing as planned -
    needs help

35
Elements of EV Analysis - IV
  • CPI EV/Actual Cost
  • CPI gt 1.0, Project Cost performing as planned or
    better
  • CPI lt 1.0, Project Cost not performing as planned
    - needs help
  • Over/Under Budget CAC - BCWS

36
Tracking Analysis
  • Each update cycle/Reporting Period
  • Obtain physical complete for each task
  • Calculate EV for each task
  • Sum up EV for all tasks as project EV
  • Calculate actual expenditure for actual work
    completed during the period
  • Compare the Cumulative EV to Actual expenditure

37
Project Cost Schedule Forecast Methods
  • Estimate at Completion (EAC) is total cost to
    complete an activity, work package, or a project
    expressed as
  • EAC Actuals-to-date Estimate to complete
    (ETC)
  • Cost EAC BAC/CPI

38
EV Reporting
  • Interpret the output of EV calculations
  • Take corrective action as necessary
  • Recommend corrective action as necessary

39
Control Processes I
  • Coordinate and control changes to project
  • scope/requirements
  • schedule
  • budget
  • Monitor and manage product quality
  • Measure progress and report performance

40
Control Processes II
  • Monitor and control risks
  • keep track of identified risks
  • monitor residual risks
  • identify new risks
  • ensure execution of risk plans
  • assess effectiveness in reducing risk

41
Closing Processes
  • Close out contracts
  • Resolve any outstanding issues
  • Document lessons learned
  • Evaluate project
  • Archive all project documents
