EDMEDM EDM Collaboration Meeting Project Management Fast Start Summary Prepared by: John P. Tapia May 25, 2006

EDMEDM Outline  Project Fast Start Definition  Fast Start Agenda  Science Project Management Principles  EDM Planning Philosophy  CD-1 Review Requirements  Questions

EDMEDM  Fast Start is a workshop that enables a project team to complete the project definition and planning of their project in the shortest time possible.  The outcome of the Fast Start process is an integrated project scope, schedule and cost baseline, documented in the form of a project plan. EDM Fast Start was tailored to accommodate for planning already underway. Facilitated by Doug Sankey, LANL Project Management Consultant, assisted by Paula Kupay, Senior Project Controls Analyst Project Fast Start Definition

EDMEDM Project Fast Start Agenda - Day 1  Opening Comments from Project Manager  Accelerated Presentation / Discussion on Project Management Planning Project Core Team Project Requirements Project Stakeholders Project Objectives Project Deliverables  Individual Subsystem Planning Presentations Planning Assumptions Technical Issues Schedule Estimates Cost Estimates Staffing Plans Procurement Planning

EDMEDM Project Fast Start Agenda - Day 2  Completed Subsystem Presentations  Scope Integration: Finalizing the WBS and Dictionary  Breakout Exercise: Integrating the EDM Project Schedule: Subsystem Managers defined the key input and output (deliverable) milestones which will result in the overall integrated project schedule.  Discussion on schedule requirements: Funding constrained vs technically driven schedules  Provided Guidance on Schedule Contingency development, Revisions to Cost Estimates, Procurement Planning w/respect to long-lead items  Path Forward to achieve CD-1 Requirements

EDMEDM Science Projects – Management Principles  Strong management team recommended Must be technically qualified for the project Highly motivated as the future user/recipient of data Strong institutional support Partnership with DOE  Need agreement between DOE and labs What is to be delivered and why Develop realistic cost and schedule baselines  Need Trust at all levels, open communications, and constructive criticism  Active identification and resolution of issues before they become significant; without waiting for reviews and written reports

EDMEDM Management Principles… continued  Regular, disciplined peer review process on all aspects of project, i.e. Semi-Annual reviews and Advisory Committees Incorporate lessons learned from other projects “Peer pressure” will be a strong motivator Tool for managing risks and vulnerabilities  Ad hoc reviews as needed (project management systems, engineering designs, safety analysis reports, etc.)  Constant, unrelenting control of cost / schedule using disciplined management systems required  Emphasis from the beginning on a rigorous safety culture

EDMEDM  Mission Need and Strong Program Support are Critical High cost projects will always be challenged Science community support cannot waver Must be an Institutional priority with commensurate commitment & accountability at all Institutions DOE-SC support required  Management Team Must Have Project Mentality Appropriate experience for the job Success in building the mission need doesn’t ensure success in execution Final execution team will revisit concepts and planning Management Principles… continued

EDMEDM Key Principles:  Integrated, cross-organizational teamwork and collaboration are critical to project success, and need to be explicitly created and managed.  Project based-thinking rather than local-level optimization is required to deliver on time and within budget.  Managing Project Execution is not as difficult as challenging the standard model Plan carefully, build a strong team, anticipate problems, manage changes proactively, stay on top of the details,…. Keep your eye on the ball (EAC, risk) Drive schedule, Drive schedule, Drive schedule EDM Planning Philosophy

EDMEDM  Multi-Organizational Partnership Adds Another Dimension Lead Organization must have clout Management of each organization must make commitment and accept ownership and accountability Project Office must have the technical expertise to be strong systems integrator Need active communication and timely decision making  Tracking Project Performance Use the tools of the trade –Work Packages: Document scope definition and assumptions –Risk analyses: Project will employ an effective risk management system –Critical Path Analyses for all schedules (PEP, Integrated Project Schedule, Working Schedule) –Earned Value Trending at appropriate WBS level EDM Planning Philosophy … continued

EDMEDM DOE CD-1 Requirements (Upcoming Temple Review)  Does the conceptual design satisfy the performance requirements?  Does the conceptual design report and supporting documentation adequately justify the stated cost range and project duration?  Does the proposed project team have adequate management experience, design skills, and laboratory support to produce a credible technical, cost, and schedule baseline?  Are ES&H aspects being properly addressed and are future plans sufficient given the projects current stage of development?  Is the documentation required by DOE O in order and ready for Approval of CD-1?

EDMEDM Project Controls Guidance  Estimating Striving for a self-consistent estimate for the project Uniformity of technical parameters Uniformity of estimating processes (at least within each organization) Planning Package Tool to prepare initial cost estimates, and capture Basis of Estimate supporting data.

EDMEDM Project Controls Continued...  Scheduling Identified appropriate scheduling tool (MSP) Determined that parts of the project will be managed as subprojects to the Master EDM project within the schedule. Need to prepare a high level schedule at WBS level 2  Performance Measurement Requires CD-2 approval. Appropriate tool will then be used to measure project performance. Implement a Cost Performance Report (CPR) to track and report cost and schedule performance Variance analysis and corrective action planning performed at WBS level 3 is recommended
