NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Team Meeting– October 4 h 2013 35 Lehman Review-Recommendations 1.Construction Efforts: Are construction efforts being executed safely? Does the project have adequate resources and the appropriate skills mix to execute the project per the plan? YES..but $ 2.Baseline Cost and Schedule: Are the current project cost and schedule projections consistent with the approved baseline cost and schedule? Is the contingency remaining adequate for the risks that remain? YES..but $ 3.Management: Evaluate the management structure as to its adequacy to deliver the scope within budget and schedule. Are risks being actively managed? Has the project responded satisfactorily to the recommendations from the previous project reviews? YES..but $ 4.Transition to Operations: Is the Project appropriately aligned for completion of construction efforts and transitioning to NSTX-U for CD-4 approval? YES.
