ESP 2010 ESP needed = 178 months ESP declared = 307 months ESP accepted = 278 months Accepted 56% more than needed ! 2010 ESP needed includes only the present system Upscope tasks were present but at zero About 64 months were pledged for the upscope 17/01/11 ESP meeting

What we did for the 2011 (I) Review the ESP tasks procedure: Using 2010 data as starting point Working in harness with the old and new LV2 and LV3 coordinators Involving Institution leaders in the analysis of the 2010 data and in the approval of the 2011 ESP Review all the “wrong” 2010 estimations: Hardware chamber: 0 .v.s 9 LV2 and LV3 management: 38 .vs. 18 Prompt analysis: 45 .vs. 12 17/01/11 ESP meeting

What we did for the 2011 (II) Simplify extremely the task structure: Adding all the tasks really needed by the project Using friendly task names Helping institution leaders in the task assignments and then in pledging (future) Monitor constantly the ESP at the RPC IB (future) Keep constant (around 200) the months needed of the present system. Add the upgrade tasks (installation in the 2013) 17/01/11 ESP meeting

2011 summary From 20 to 34 ESP tasks 17 for the present system 12 for the upgrade 4 for LV2 management We increased few crucial item thanks to the 2010 experience and reduced the # of shits (from 4 to 3 shiters per day) Present system ESP needed = 200 months (15 FTE) Upgrade ESP needed = 70 months (7 FTE) Can CMS consider the RPC Operation Manager a central shifter ? 17/01/11 ESP meeting

Conclusions We learned a lot for the 2010 experience. The new ESP procedures has been approved by the RPC IB. 2011 ESP needed should be very close to what we really need for the operation of the project. Upgrade has been included. Upgrade needed will increase of about 30% in the 2012. 17/01/11 ESP meeting
