Opportunities for Contracts Involvement • Programmatics • Closure Planning • Planning the Work - IMP, PIN, IMS • Integrated Subcontract Management Plan • Metrics • Earned Value Management • Risk & Opportunity Management NCMA World Congress 2005 “Prime Time: Contract Management at the Core of the Enterprise”
Proposal – Negotiations - Contract - Deliverables Closure Planning – “grave to cradle” Integrated Master Plan (IMP) – what? What do our leading metrics tell us needs to be changed? The right metrics tell us to do the right work. Program Integrated Network (PIN) – what order? Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) – when? Integrated Subcontract Management Plan Metrics to Validate Performance - what to count? Input to IMS, adjust EV EVMS - performance Assessment of Risks & Opportunities What are“Programmatics?” Know your Program Manager Know What Program Manager is Worried About NCMA World Congress 2005 “Prime Time: Contract Management at the Core of the Enterprise”

Closure Planning “Grave to Cradle” – need a checklist • Delivery of Services and Products • Inspection & Acceptance • Packaging & Shipping • Tests • Manufacture • Tests • Design Reviews • Baseline Review • Contract Award Reverse Planning NCMA World Congress 2005 “Prime Time: Contract Management at the Core of the Enterprise”
Closure Planning • Startup / Process Team: Kickoff the program by addressing details in closure criteria and considerations; focus on the right work at the right time • Engineering and Integration: Teams form, are they integrated? Do they account for needed resources including customer / user involvement to achieve agreement and buy-in for sell-off criteria? Write it down, use sign off to capture stakeholders commitment, etc. • Contracts: at a minimum prior to contract award, establish the process to be used to achieve a timely agreement with the Customer on the formal acceptance criteria for contract closure • Program Management: If the contract does not have clearly defined, formal acceptance criteria, there is a likelihood of scope creep; support your Contracts Team to achieve an agreed closure plan at the early date possible Get Agreement Early NCMA World Congress 2005 “Prime Time: Contract Management at the Core of the Enterprise”
Planning Performance- IMP, PIN, IMS • Integrated Program Planning • Ensuring All the Details • Up-front, Top-Down, Total Program Plan • Developed and Used for Bidding and Program Execution • Single Plan for the Entire Program, not Collection of Multiple Uncorrelated Plans by Each Team member • Creates a Program Architecture Necessary to Measure Successful Performance • Know All Your Constraints and Dependencies • Network-driven Schedules, What-if Exercises • Closed Loop Metrics (Earned Value, CPI, SPI, ETC) Integration is Key NCMA World Congress 2005 “Prime Time: Contract Management at the Core of the Enterprise”
Distinctive Features of the IMP/IMS Set I M P I M S Relationship Event Event One to One Accomplishment Accomplishment Criteria Criteria Tasks • IMP Features/Characteristics: • Events - [Project-unique “value added” maturity measurement points] • One or more each year (should be less than three) • Accomplishments - [Significant, natural, time-phased product-oriented activity groupings that support an Event] • Roughly equivalent in importance and/or scope across the project (not too large, not too small) • Span a practical increment of project time (not too short [>> 1 Mo.]; not too long [< 6 - 9 Mos.]). • Criteria - [Standards to judge what must be done to complete an Accomplishment] • Product-oriented completion indicators • Normally at least two Criteria per Accomplishment (not too many) Sub-Tasks NCMA World Congress 2005 “Prime Time: Contract Management at the Core of the Enterprise”
