1. Milestone 5 Review Control Phase Complete Cost Data Integrity Project February 28, 2008

2. 2 Introduction Control Phase is fairly straight forward: 1.Monitor progress on Trend Charts – Four Initial Projects Only (QC02, LB02, VM01 & GS02) 2.Implement Improvements on all remaining projects (over 12 projects subject to control) 3.Start Trending remaining projects for FY2008 4.Long Term Goal: 80% of all monthly project costs are at Sigma Level 5 by end of FY2008.

3. 3 Good Progress Invoices Not PostedTimesheets Not Submitted ProjectBeforeAfterBeforeAfter QC0210231 LB0212510 VM018211 GS023000 NOTE: This progress took place over a three month time frame during the course of this project! Very good progress with timesheets; invoice processing requires a new control procedure.

4. 4 Continuous Improvement Practices Desk Side Mentoring and Assistance to fully institutionalize the changes PMO will continue to track defects within PMS through the end of FY2008 (9/30/08) PMO will evaluate how to automate control procedures: –Comparison of Invoices by Invoice Number between PMS and FMS –Email notification and kick-out reports when timesheets are not submitted PMO: Project Management Office PMS: Project Management System

5. 5 Project Close Out The project came in under budget since fewer resources were required to complete the project. Also, the solutions to improve the processes were fairly easy to develop and implement. So this was a good “quick win” type project. Final Project Costs............ $ 364,000 Project Budget................$ 522,000 Under Budget................ $ 158,000 Yes, this project is now complete. Any remaining work has been turned over to the Project Management Office (PMO). What was this project’s overall cost performance? Is this project now complete?
