  2. (01/11/12cd) Organization Scope The Systems Review Office (SRO) supports Center and Agency leadership in the independent review and assessment of projects per NASA and GSFC directives and standards. This is accomplished in the form of life cycle reviews and represents essential elements of conducting, managing, evaluating, and approving space flight programs/projects. Independent reviews are performed at critical milestones during the life cycle of flight and flight support systems developed by; (a) the Center, (b) other NASA Centers, (c) other Agencies, (d) private industry or universities under contract to the Center, and (e) foreign governments under cooperative international programs. The SRO conducts and/or participates in the review of the overall mission design and operations, integrated payloads, spacecraft, instruments, flight support-ground based systems, and launch vehicle systems for projects implemented by the GSFC. 2

  3. (01/11/12cd) Organization Functions The Systems Review Office (SRO) is the implementation arm of the GSFC independent review program. Planning entails participating in, or taking the lead in, the development of the Systems Review Plan, standing up review boards, developing review team charters, and developing and maintaining procedural requirements and standards documentation. Facilitating a successful review involves working with the Project to establish the Success Criteria and Key Evaluation Factors used in establishing the level of success of a particular review, as well as supporting the generation and management of Requests for Action. Management functions include budgeting the manpower and cost requirements of the proposed review program, organizing an effective review process tailored to the project, and coordinating the reviews through official review team appointments and agenda review. Participation in a review by the SRO involves serving as a Subject Matter Expert on selected systems and peer review teams, as well as chairing key mission and systems-level development lifecycle reviews. 3

  4. (01/11/12cd) Lifecycle Review Program Primary objective is to provide an independent assessment of a project's risk status to the appropriate decision and technical authorities enabling them to make informed decisions at key development/operations milestones and gateways. Key Decision Point (KDP) gateway reviews conducted by an Agency chartered Standing Review Board (SRB) under documented Agency and Center review processes. • Reference: NPR 7120.5D, NASA Space Flight Program and Project Management Requirements Development life-cycle and operational milestone reviews conducted by a Center Management Council (CMC) chartered and SRO appointed Goddard System Review Team. • Reference: GPR 8700.4, Integrated Independent Reviews Engineering Peer Reviews conducted by a Project chartered independent peer review team. • Reference: GPR 8700.6, Engineering Peer Reviews 4

  6. (01/11/12cd) Scope of Lifecycle Reviews Review boards are advisory to the project and the convening authorities and do not have authority over any project content. They cannot provide direction or participate in the projects' decision-making process. Reviews provide expert assessment of the technical and programmatic approach, risk posture, and progress against the project baseline. When appropriate, independent reviews offer findings to improve performance and/or reduce risk. Review board outputs are briefed to the project for which the review is being conducted prior to being reported to the next higher level of management. Finding results are reconciled internally within the review board and with the project prior to the CMC reviews. 6

  7. (01/11/12cd) Types of Lifecycle Review Boards Standing Review Board (SRB) -- Agency established panel of experts responsible for the conduct of combined technical and management assessments associated with Agency defined Key Decision Points (KDP's) progressively located throughout the project development lifecycle. Goddard System Review Team (GSRT) -- Center established panel of experts responsible for the conduct of combined technical and management assessments at key lifecycle milestones. Assessments encompass selected mission-level reviews, the complete set of element and system-level lifecycle reviews, and selected subsystem reviews as defined by the project System Review Plan. Engineer Peer Review Panel -- Project established panel of experts responsible for the conduct of assessments specific to components, subsystems, systems, and discipline-related functions as defined in the projects Engineering Peer Review Plan. Review scope and panel participants are established by the project lead systems engineer as the project Technical Authority in coordination with the GSFC Chief Engineer and Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate (AETD) senior management. 7

  8. (01/11/12cd) Review Team Interactions There is a continuity of information flowed from the subsystem engineering peer reviews to the system-level SRB reviews to ensure that the impact risks and issues are assessed at the system level. This is primarily accomplished via the reporting of lower-level review results at higher level reviews and the intersection of review team membership between the lower-level and higher level reviews. MULTI-DISCIPLINE MANAGEMENT AND SYSTEMS ORIENTED InI Special Reviews Standing Review Boards Mission and KDP Reviews Other Mission Reviews Goddard System Review Teams Information Flow Flight and Ground Elements and Systems Engineering Peer Review Teams Flight and Ground Subsystems and Components DISCIPLINE-SPECIFIC FUNCTION ORIENTED 8

  9. (01/11/12cd) Reporting of Results Provided in the form of formal reports, electronic summaries, and briefings to Project Management, the Center Management Council (CMC), and the Center Director's Office. Additional briefings to the Mission Directorate Program Management Council (PMC) and the Agency PMC are also supported as required. Project teams leverage the background and experiences of the independent review board membership, adding value through confirmation of engineering solutions and risk mitigation approaches. Findings are oriented toward the assessment of risk with added focus on reducing the probability of occurrence and/or the impact of the potential problems being encountered and confronted during the lifecycle development process. 9

  11. (01/11/12cd) Impact on Mission Success The independent review process verifies that the project is being executed in accordance the risk classification agreed between the project manager and the agency convening authorities. The independent review process identifies major issues and risks to mission success and provides recommendations to the project and convening authorities as to the appropriate matter to succeed. The independent review process verifies that the project has sufficient programmatic resources, i.e., schedule and funding, to execute the project without taking undue technical risks The independent review process provides a non-advocate assessment of system design and ensures best-practices are being implemented by the project 11
