What Makes a Good Concept of Operations?Glen Alleman
A Concept of Operations is a user-oriented document the describes system characteristics for a proposed systems from the User's perspective. The CONOPs also describes the user organization, mission, and objectives form the integrated systems point of view and is used to communicates overall qualitative and quantitative characteristics to the stakeholders.
Delivering programs with less capability than promised, while exceeding the cost and planned durations, distorts decision making, contributes to increasing cost growth to other programs, undermines the Federal government’s credibility with taxpayers and contributes to the public’s negative support for these programs.
Many reasons have been hypothesized and documented for cost and schedule growth. The authors review some of these reasons, and propose that government and contractors use the historical variability of the past programs to establish cost and schedule estimates at the outset and periodically update these estimates with up-to-date risks, to increase the probability of program success. For this to happen, the authors recommend changes to estimating, acquisition and contracting processes.
Establishing schedule margin using monte carlo simulation Glen Alleman
The first order goal is to develop a resource loaded, risk tolerant, Integrated Master Schedule, derived from the Integrated Master Plan that clearly shows the increasing maturity of the program's deliverables, through vertical and horizontal traceability to the program's requirements.
Resource Paper of Enterprise-Wide Deployment of EDMGlen Alleman
The acquisition of an Enterprise–wide software system requires careful planning and execution of a multitude of activities unrelated to the actual software systems being deployed.
Cost and schedule growth for complex projects is created when unrealistic technical performance expectations, unrealistic cost and schedule estimates, inadequate risk assessments, unanticipated technical issues, and poorly performed and ineffective risk management, contribute to project technical and programmatic shortfalls
Capabilities‒Based Planning the capabilities needed to accomplish a mission or fulfill a business strategy
Only when capabilities are defined can we start with requirements elicitation
Computer information project planning is one of the most important activities in the modern software
development process. Without an objective and realistic plan of software project, the development of
software process cannot be managed effectively. This research will identify general measures for the
specific goals and its specific practices of Project Planning Process Area in Capability Maturity Model
Integration (CMMI). CMMI is developed in USA by Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in Carnegie
Mellon University. CMMI is a framework for assessment and improvement of computer information
systems. The procedure we used to determine the measures is to apply the Goal Questions Metrics (GQM)
approach to the three specific goals and its fourteen specific practices of Project Planning Process Area in
CMMI.
Probabilistic Schedule and Cost AnalysisGlen Alleman
An overview of the probabilistic risk analysis processes that can be applied to a program. Although it may not appear to be a “simple” overview, this material is the tip of the iceberg of this complex topic.
Just schedule analysis has been addressed in detail here. The cost aspects of forecasting and simulation must be addressed as well to complete the connections between schedule and cost.
Probabilistic cost will be surveyed here, but an in depth review is for a later time.
Failures in construction due to ineffective project management information sy...Essam Lotffy, PMP®, CCP®
The flow of information in projects can be a significant driver to project success, or to project failure. As in all projects, there are different layers of communications and each requires its own approach, skills, and tools. Communicating work directions to the construction crews is simply telling them what to do, when to do it, and identifying other parallel work that may impact their own. The construction trades are generally skilled enough they can determine for themselves how to do the job.
