  11. PMCS Development Process

  12. PMCS Development Process • Define Schedule and Budget assumptions • Finalize the WBS, WBS Dictionary • Finalize a Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) • Finalize the Milestone Hierarchy and Dictionary • Finalize the set of SLAC/BNL Resources and Rates • Finalize the resource loaded Integrated Master Schedule • Use the Schedule baseline to create a Budget baseline • Establish a prelim Performance Measurement Baseline

  13. PMCS Development Process • Schedule Assumptions • Within the funding limitations, get to an Early Science capability with the Instruments as early as possible. • Establish priority order of Instruments as XPP, CXI and XCS. • Establish multiple CD-4 milestones, one for each Instrument. • Components not required for Early Science operations can be installed for final CD-4 milestone. • Establish multiple CD-3 milestones to allow procurement of components for each Instrument as early as possible. • Establish a complete performance measurement baseline for all project equipment and conduct one CD-2. • Assume a Long Lead Authorization approval for Key critical components following CD-2 and prior to CD-3.

  14. PMCS Development Process • Budget Assumptions • Plan for an MIE funding profile of: • Plan for a Continuing Resolution for the first half of FY2009 (approx. $500k/month). • The balance of FY2009 funding will be available in the third quarter($12M). • Use Resources and Rates (Direct/Indirect) provided by SLAC and BNL.

  15. PMCS Development Process Project WBS and WBS Dictionary • The Work Breakdown Structure has been placed under change control • PM-391-000-96 • The WBS Dictionary has been updated to reflect the latest structure and has been placed under change control • PM-391-001-12 • The Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) has been developed that identifies Control Accounts and CA Managers

  16. PMCS Development Process • Control Account Managers • T. Fornek - WBS 1.1 Project Management • J. Langton - WBS 1.2 XPP Instrument * • P. Montanez - WBS 1.3 CXI Instrument • E. Bong - WBS 1.4 XCS Instrument * • E. Ortiz - WBS 1.5 Diagnostics & Common Optics • G. Haller - WBS 1.6 Controls & Data Acquisition • Niels van Bakel - WBS 1.2.03 & 1.4.03 BNL Detectors * Except for BNL Detector effort

  17. PMCS Development Process Project Milestone Hierarchy and Dictionary • The Milestone Hierarchy has been created and defines the relationship between the levels of milestones. • Six levels of milestones have been identified • Level 1 & 2 - DOE • Level 3 – Project • Level 4 – Instruments/Systems • Level 5 – Interface / Handoff • Level 6 – Commitments / Awards • The Milestone Dictionary has been developed to assure a thorough understanding of agreements

  18. PMCS Development Process Several types of Level 5, Interface / Handoff Milestones have been defined and represent contractual agreements. LUSI is currently monitoring 904 Interface Milestones

  19. PMCS Development Process

  20. PMCS Development Process Level 6 milestones have been identified as the Awards of subcontracts / procurements and supports funding reconciliations efforts. Planning when the budget is to be spent will support performance measurement. LUSI is currently monitoring 224 Award Milestones.

  21. PMCS Development Process

  22. PMCS Development Process Project Resources and Rates • Define a set of Resources for effort to be performed by SLAC with the appropriate planning rates. • Define a set of Resources for effort to be performed by BNL with the appropriate planning rates. • Use the appropriate indirect rates, as defined by SLAC/BNL, and apply to the direct rates as defined. • Apply a consistent escalation to activities as they get scheduled. • The Bay Area uses a 4% escalation rate for labor • Used standard 2.3% escalation for non-labor

  23. PMCS Development Process Integrated Schedule Development Process • Use WBS as foundation to assure 100% of scope covered • Define the detailed tasks required to accomplish the scope • Define the required resources to accomplish the tasks • Based on the detailed Basis of Estimates • Define the optimal logic relationships between tasks • Incorporate all levels of DOE and Project milestones • Incorporate all Interface / handoff milestones.

  24. PMCS Development Process Integrated Schedule Development Process (cont.) • Validate links to confirm timephasing and float calculations are accurate and appropriate. • Where applicable, base activity durations on recent LCLS and/or related experience. • Define and use standard calendars throughout with all the appropriate non-work days. • Plan for a standard work week (8 hours/day & 5 days/week) except where appropriate. • Develop flexible and appropriate activity coding for reporting and summarizations

  25. PMCS Development Process Integrated Schedule Development Process (cont.) • Because the project recognizes the importance of managing schedule contingency like it manages money contingency, blocks of time will be built into the schedule to mitigate the inevitable schedule issues. • These reserves of time will be planned as activity relationship lags between the Project controlled Level 3 milestones and the DOE controlled Level 2 milestones. • These blocks of schedule contingency were used during the development of the detail schedules and were removed to set preliminary baseline dates. The blocks will be added back into the schedule to impose control over float utilization.

  26. PMCS Development Process The project has reserved time between DOE level 2 milestones and DOE level 1 milestones to allow for DOE processing: • “Project Ready” + 40 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-3a • “Project Ready” + 60 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-4a • “Project Ready” + 40 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-3b • “Project Ready” + 60 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-4b • “Project Ready” + 40 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-3c • “Project Ready” + 60 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-4a

  27. PMCS Development Process For the purposes of managing Total Float, time reserves will be set aside between project level 3 milestones and DOE level 2 milestones: • “Project Ready” + 40 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-3a • “Project Ready” + 60 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-4a • “Project Ready” + 40 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-3b • “Project Ready” + 60 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-4b • “Project Ready” + 40 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-3c • “Project Ready” + 60 days = DOE Review + 40 days = CD-4a

  28. PMCS Development Process Each one of the 3 Instruments will have 100 days of schedule contingency controlled by the project office.

  29. PMCS Development Process In addition to the WBS, project phase coding for each activity will facilitate the creation of summary schedules as well as define the budget work packages. • Management / Administration • Design / Engineering • Procurement • Subcontract • Fabrication / Assembly • Testing • Installation

  30. PMCS Development Process Additional activity coding will facilitate sorting, filtering and additional summarizations • Work Breakdown Structure • Control Account number • Work Package number • Project Phase • Milestone Level • Control Account Manager name • Performance Measurement Technique • Earned Value Milestone (EVM) ID number • EVM Weight • Design Maturity • Judgment Factor

  31. PMCS Development Process Funding Reconciliation • The project started with a “bottom-up” planning approach which required budget authority inconsistent with the levels that were established. • Reconciliation required the identification of opportunities and the prioritizations of effort to adjust for funding issues at the lowest level. • The project next used a iterative “top-down” approach to shift entire blocks of effort to optimize the schedule flow while accelerating the Instrument availability.

  32. PMCS Development Process • Once the schedule was iterated and a reasonable schedule was achieved that met the project objectives and stayed within the available funding, the preliminary schedule baseline was established. • With a baseline established in the Primavera file, the next step was to import the schedule data into Cobra to create the budget baseline and to establish a preliminary performance measurement baseline (PMB).

  33. PMCS Development Process • Control Account and Work Package planning is based entirely on the time-phasing as defined by the schedule. • Work packages are based on the project phase and represents the cost collection intersection with the SLAC accounting system. • The work package is the lowest level at which earned value is calculated.

  34. PMCS Development Process • The majority of the near term effort for the project will be focused on Engineering and Design. • Procurement, Subcontract, Fabrication & Assembly, Testing and Installation work packages are coded as Planning Packages. • The detail planning for work packages coded as planning packages will be reassessed at the appropriate time.

  35. PMCS Development Process LUSI uses only a subset of the Performance Measurement Technique (PMT) codes used by Cobra to calculate Earned Value are coded into the schedule as a reference

  36. PMCS Status

  37. Critical Decision Requirements • Employ an Earned Value Management System that is compliant with ANSI/EIA-748-A-1998 for projects with a Total Project Cost or Environmental Management Total Project Cost greater than or equal to $20M. Projects having a Total Project Cost or Environmental Management Total Project Cost between $20M and $50M must have an Earned Value Management System that is self-certified by the contractor as ANSI/EIA-748-A-1998 compliant. Projects having a Total Project Cost or Environmental Management Total Project Cost greater than or equal to $50M require an ANSI/EIA-748-A-1998 compliant system certified by the Office of Engineering and Construction Management. For projects not required to utilize an Earned Value Management System (e.g., firm fixed-price contract projects), an alternative performance management system must be described in the Project Execution Plan. • Completed – SLAC/LCLS Project was reviewed and successfully demonstrated compliance at a review in June 2008 • Subsequent to the June review a formal letter from DOE was received confirming the compliance of the SLAC Earned Value Management System.

  38. Critical Decision Requirements

  39. Critical Decision Requirements • Perform a Performance Baseline Validation External Independent Review or a Performance Baseline Validation Independent Project Review. External Independent Reviews are conducted by the Office of Engineering and Construction Management to validate the Performance Baseline for projects with a Total Project Cost or Environmental Management Total Project Cost greater than or equal to $100M. Independent Project Reviews are conducted by the Project Management Support Office to validate the Performance Baseline for projects with a Total Project Cost or Environmental Management Total Project Cost less than $100 M. • The Independent Review is to be accomplished as part of the CD-2 review

  41. PMCS Status

  42. PMCS Status Using Primavera (P3) as the Scheduling tool • Currently the statistics for the LUSI Project group with supporting project files are: LUSI Project Group - 4131 activities & 6159 relationships • Project Management (SLAC) - 191 activities • XPP Instrument (SLAC) - 531 activities • CXI Instrument (SLAC) - 899 activities • XCS Instrument (SLAC) - 539 activities • Diagnostics and Common Optics (SLAC) - 599 activities • Controls and Data Acquisition (SLAC) - 1297 activities • XPP and XCS Detector Systems (BNL) - 75 activities

  43. LUSI Project Summary Schedule

  44. LUSI Critical Paths/Envelopes Schedule Critical Path(s) • Because each Instrument represents a separate major deliverable, critical paths have been identified and are being monitored to the Approve Start of Operations milestones: • CD-4a for the XPP Instrument • CD-4b for the CXI Instrument • CD-4c for the XCS Instrument • As a general rule, critical paths/envelopes are regularly monitored for all three instruments and the two supporting systems.
