January 15, 2013 [Sample] Monthly Quad Chart as of MM, DD, YYYY Next Month Expected Results G Current Customer Business & Strategic Results G • Deployed 24 new Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) locations. • Archived data available to customers in 24 hours 99.7% of the time. • A total of six POA&Ms are open for NOAA8200. They are due August, 2011 and are on track. Conducted a national flood prediction workshop. Initiated new contract vehicle for flood prediction O&M. • Upgraded 50% of NOAA8200 from HP UNIX to RedHat OS. • BCR approved last month to bring schedule into alignment and provide improved cost estimates. • Deploy 159 new AHPS locations. • Develop non-model related Baseline Operational Capabilities and implement at 4 Regional Forecast Centers. • Commence Graphics Generator Phase 2 software activities • Test hydrology-related AWIPS II software during System Operational Test and Evaluation. • Complete NOAA8200 upgrades to RedHat OS. Y Risks, Issues, and Innovations Y “Actual Cost” ($000) as of date • Risks: System updates may not keep pace with business rules, results in a risk of not accurately forecasting weather conditions. Lack of funding for this effort. • Mitigation: Requested an increase in funding for FY 12. This increase has been approved and included in the FY 12 Passback. • Issues: Not meeting Wx Buoy availability goal - • Continuing reduced Coast Guard vessel support • Equipment beyond expected lifecycle and unavailability of funds for buoy equipment recapitalization • Innovations: Improving data availability and customer service: • Development of multi-purpose buoy platform – NOOSS (weather), TAO (climate) and DART (tsunami). • Budget: Budget change request submitted, new cost estimates as of July 2011, provides better accuracy of resources and improved controls.

January 15, 2013 Instructions for Quad Chart Quad Chart data must align with Exhibit 300B milestones and risk register. Current Customer Business & Strategic Results Next Month Expected Results G G • List milestones activities, showing deliverables, including percent complete and the expected results for next month. • Milestones should include major IT Security accomplishments including closure of POA&M s. • List any potential/upcoming rebaselines. • Do not list activities as continuing, rather provide a tangible, objective unit of measure such as completed, or started ,or # of units installed. • This section should directly align with the “Expected Results” of the previous month. • Include tasks or deliverables accomplished or not accomplished as expected. If not accomplished, indicate why or when it will be accomplished. • Describe any recently proposed or approved rebaseline. Y Risks, Issues, and Innovations Y Cost and Schedule Variance • Plan and Actual Costs are for Fiscal Year to Date • Provide accounting (no more than 5 rows) by project or activity (not by cost category) consistent with the project plan and 300B milestones. • Plan total must equal full expected investment spending, for projects and operations, for the fiscal year. • Cost variance = % difference between planned and actual expenses to date. • Schedule variance = % difference between planned and actual duration to date. • Positive cost variance= under budget; Negative cost variance= over budget. • If EVM is generated ,include BAC, EAC, CPI, and SPI at bottom. • If the table shows positive or negative variances of 8% or more, explain causes and mitigation under “Risks and Issues” or on a second page. • Risks & Issues • Explain any significant issues that have been realized and what corrective action is being taken. • If project manager or other key personnel have changed, please list and provide explanation, solution. • Cite any other high profile risks and their planned mitigation • Highlight any major innovations that have been introduced, if appropriate. • Identify any Project Manager change due to vacancy or replacement.
