Preliminary Assessment of BFEM’s ability to meet HUD Core Budget Formulation and Forecasting Functions Workflow Scenarios Import data, validate data, and calculate budget models for multiple programs Assemble Budget Reports Documents Model Calculation Model Calculation Model Calculation Model Calculation Legend Data Validation Data Validation Data Validation Data Validation Import Data Import Data Import Data Import Data Not existing BFEM functionality, but possibly feasible with future development Can be accomplished with current BFEM requirements Need more information to make assessment Requires modest software enhancements to existing BFEM capabilities A BFEM Subject Matter Expert’s review of the Next Generation Management System (NGMS), Budget Formulation and Forecasting Requirements Definition, dated March 8, 2013 identified the above core functions. Each core function cuts across multiple HUD requirements. For example, the function import data creates the ability to meet “1.1 Data Import Process,” 3.3 Upload PD&R PHA Level Inflation Factors,” and other similar requirements. The box colors reflects a preliminary assessment of BFEM’s ability to accomplish most of the sub-requirements related to that function. This assessment is based on a limited review of the requirements and could be revised with additional analysis.
