CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 12 Impact of Preliminary Allocation Preliminary allocation should be sufficient to meet CD mission, strategic goals, or tactical plan goals and objectives.

CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 13 Template Guidance: (not part of the presentation) Activity = Activity Level 1 or lower explicitly listed in Tactical Plan Activities have been classified in Tactical Plans as either being more Project-like or Service-like Projects: finite defined lifetime, defined deliverable. Includes R&D work. A.k.a Upgrades, … Services: same operation or task repeatedly. A.k.a. Operations, Maintenance, Support, … Whether an activity is a project or service determines which format slide to use later. Terminology Obligation Budget: Allocated budget. This may differ from the budget request. YTD Obligations: Fully incurred expenses. Does not include RIPs, Req.s in CD, etc. Current FY08 Forecast: Estimate of all obligations to be incurred by the end of FY08. M&S: Equipment + Operating. Operating includes Travel, Material Purchases, Professional Services (contractors), Maintenance (licenses), and Other. RIP: Requisitions in Progress
