EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Utilisationof trackcars is limitedtorace circuitsas theyare notroad legal.Thiscreatessome annoyance
as it limitstheiruse andrequiresthe use of transporters.Roadcarson the otherhandare not developed
for track use.Gone are the daysof drive yourcar to the track, race itand drive itback home.
Giventhese constraintsthe objective istoproduce acar that can be drivenfromhome to the track,
pushedtothe limitonthe race circuit,and thereafterdrivenbackhome.The carmust be reliable,
beautiful andathome onthe road andthe track, withoutcompromisingperformance.
Thisdocumentpresentsthe planfortransformingaDaytonaPrototype foruse on the road andthe
track. The vehicle will serve asaprototype fordevelopmentandsalespurposes.
The Daytona Prototype platformhasbeenselecteddue to itsmix of performance,reliability,costand
design.
The purpose of thisdocumentisto provide everyparticipantinthe project,asingle pointof reference
that identifiesthe overall frameworkforthe executionof the project.

PROJECT CHARTER
The Problem
The inabilitytoopenthe home garage climbintoyourcar drive itto the nearbyrace circuit,pushitto
the limitandthendrive home,isa source of frustrationforthose whoenjoywhatthe combinationof a
track car and race circuitcan bring.Current“supercars”whichhave seeminglymorphedinto
“hypercars”like the MclarenP1 and LaFerrari,are road legal monsters.Whiletheseengineeringmarvels
are capable ona race circuittheyare not designedforfrequenttrackuse.Thiscan be seenwithtrack
onlyversionsof the aforementionedbeingmade availabletoa luckyfew bytheirrespective
manufacturers.
Pictured:
The road car: Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina
The track version: Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione
ScuderiaCameronGlickenhaus iscurrentlybuildinganew road
and track car, SCG 003, which can be convertedfromroadcar to
race car andback again.The SCG 003 will be builttocustomer
orderat a price of approximately 2500 000 Euros.
The Objective
The objective of the DPZero 1 projectis toproduce a prototype vehicle thatwill leadtoa limited
productionversionthatwill provide ownerswithahighperformance trackcar whichisaesthetically
pleasing,reliable andcosteffective torunon the race circuit,while beingfullycapable of comfortable
and frequentroaduse.
The intentof the prototype thatwill emerge fromthe DPZero1 projectistwofold:
1) Serve asa developmenttestbed
2) Serve asa salesplatform
Shouldthe prototype be successfulthe intentionisto:
- produce 6 vehiclesayear
- buildcostapprox. 800 000 USD
- salesprice approx.1 500 000 USD

STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENTPLAN
The StakeholderManagement Planforthe DPZero1 projectwill be usedtoidentifyandclassifyproject
stakeholders;determinestakeholderpower,interest,andinfluence;andanalyze the management
approach andcommunicationmethodologyforprojectstakeholders. Thiswill allow the identificationof
keyinfluential stakeholderstosolicitinputforprojectplanningandgainsupportasthe project
progresses. Thiswill benefitthe projectbyminimizingthe likelihoodof encounteringcompeting
objectivesandmaximizingthe resources requiredtocomplete the project.
Early identificationandcommunicationwithstakeholdersisimperative toensure the successof the
project,as some stakeholdersmayhave interestswhichmaybe positivelyornegativelyaffected.More
effectivemanagementandbalance these interestscanbe attainedbyinitiatingearlyandfrequent
communicationandstakeholdermanagement.
Identify Stakeholders
The followingcriteriawill be usedtodetermineif anindividual will be includedasastakeholder:
- Will the personor theirorganizationbe directlyaffectedbythisproject?
- Doesthe personor theirorganizationholdapositionfromwhichtheycaninfluence the project?
- Doesthe personhave an impacton the project’sresources(material,personnel,funding)?
- Doesthe personor theirorganizationhave anyspecial skillsorcapabilitiesthe projectwill
require?
- Doesthe personpotentiallybenefitfromthe projectorare theyina positiontoresistthis
change?
Anyindividualwhomeetsthe firstandthereafterone ormore of the above criteriawill be identifiedas
a stakeholder. Stakeholdersfromthe same organizationwillbe groupedinordertosimplify
communicationandstakeholdermanagement.
Key Stakeholders
The projectteam will identifykeystakeholders whohave the mostinfluence onthe projectorwho may
be impactedthe mostby it. These keystakeholdersare those whoalsorequire the most
communicationandmanagementwhichwill be determinedasstakeholdersare analyzed. Once
identified,the Program Managerwill developaplantoobtaintheirfeedbackonthe level of
participationtheydesire,frequencyandtype of communication,andanyconcernsorconflicting
intereststheyhave.
Basedon the feedbackgatheredbythe programmanager,the determinationmaybe made toinvolve
keystakeholdersonsteeringcommittees,focusgroups,gate reviews,orotherprojectmeetingsor
milestones. Thoroughcommunicationwithkeystakeholdersisnecessarytoensure all concernsare
identifiedandaddressedandthat resourcesforthe projectremainavailable.
12
Stakeholder Analysis
Once all the projectstakeholdershave beenidentified,the projectteamwill categorize andanalyze each
stakeholder. The purpose of thisanalysisistodeterminethe stakeholders’levelof powerand influence,
planthe managementapproachforeach stakeholder,andtodetermine the appropriatelevelsof
communicationandparticipationeachstakeholderwill have onthe project.
The projectteam will categorizestakeholdersbasedontheirorganizationordepartment. Once all
stakeholdershave beencategorized,the projectteamwill utilize apower/interestmatrix toillustrate
the potential impacteachstakeholdermayhave onthe project. Basedon thisanalysisthe projectteam
will alsocomplete astakeholderanalysismatrix whichillustratesthe concerns,level of involvement,and
managementstrategyforeachstakeholder.

COST MANAGEMENTPLAN
The Program Manager, KevinJones,will be responsible formanagingandreportingonthe project’scost
throughoutthe durationof the project. Priorto the weeklyprojectteammeeting,the Program
Manager will meetwithFPTmanagementtopresentandreview the project’scostperformance forthe
precedingweek. Performancewillbe measuredusingearnedvalue. The ProgramManageris
responsible foraccountingforcostdeviationsandpresentingthe ProjectOwnerwithoptionsforgetting
the projectback on budget. The ProjectOwnerhasthe authorityto make changesto the project to
bringit back withinbudget.
Cost Management Approach
Costsfor thisprojectwill be managedatthe thirdlevel of the WorkBreakdownStructure (WBS).
Control Accounts(CA) will be createdatthislevel totrackcosts. EarnedValue calculationsforthe CA’s
will measure andmanage the financial performanceof the project. Creditforworkwill be assignedat
the work package level. Workstartedon workpackageswill grantthat workpackage with50% credit;
whereas,the remaining50%is crediteduponcompletionof all workdefinedinthatworkpackage.
Costsmay be roundedto the nearestdollar.
Cost variancesof ≥10% in the cost and schedule performance will change the status of the costto
cautionary;as such,those valueswill be changedtoamberinthe projectstatusreports. Cost variances
of ≥20% inthe cost and schedule performance will change the statusof the costto an alertstage; as
such,those valueswill be changedtoredinthe projectstatus reports. Costvariancesof >20% inthe
cost and schedule performance will require corrective action.Corrective actionswill require aproject
change requestandbe must approvedbythe ProjectOwnerbefore itcanbecome withinthe scope of
the project.
Measuring Project Costs
Projectperformance willbe measuredusingEarnedValue Management. The followingtwoEarned
Value metricswill be usedtomeasure the project’scostperformance:
- Schedule Variance (SV)
o ≥0.10 Amber
o ≥0.20 Red
- Cost Variance (CV)
o ≥0.10 Amber
o ≥0.20 Red
Schedule Variance (SV) isameasurementof the schedule performance foraproject. It’scalculatedby
takingthe Earned Value (EV) andsubtractingthe PlannedValue (PV).
32
Calculationforthe alertlevel:
1 – (EV/PV)
If ≤ 0 no action
If ≥ 0.10 amber
If ≥ 0.20 red
Cost Variance (CV) isameasurementof the budgetperformance foraproject. CV is calculatedby
subtractingActual Costs(AC) fromEarnedValue (EV).
Calculationforalertlevel:
1 - (EV/AC)
If ≤ 0 no action
If ≥ 0.10 amber
If ≥ 0.20 red
Reporting Format
Reportingforcost managementwill be includedinthe weeklyprojectstatusreport. The weekly project
statusreport will includeasection labelled,“CostManagement”. This sectionwill containthe Earned
Value Metricsidentifiedinthe previoussection. All costvariancesoutsideof the thresholdsidentifiedin
thisCost ManagementPlanwill be reportedonincludinganycorrective actionswhichare planned.
Change Requests whichare triggeredbaseduponprojectcostoverrunswill be identifiedandtrackedin
thisreport.
Cost Variance Response Process
The Control Thresholdsforthisprojectare the alertlevelsdescribedinthe section“Measuringproject
costs”. If the projectreachesone of these Control ThresholdsaCostVariance Corrective ActionPlanis
required.
The Program Manager will presentthe ProjectOwnerwithoptionsforcorrectiveactionswithinfive
businessdaysfromwhenthe costvariance isfirstreported.
Withintwobusinessdaysfromwhenthe ProjectOwnerselectsacorrective actionoption,the Program
Manager will presentthe ProjectOwnerwithaformal CostVariance Corrective ActionPlan.
33
The Cost Variance Corrective ActionPlanwill detail the actionsnecessarytobringthe projectback
withinbudgetandthe meansbywhichthe effectivenessof the actionsinthe planwill be measured.
Upon acceptance of the CostVariance Corrective ActionPlanitwill become apartof the projectplan
and the projectwill be updatedto reflectthe corrective actions.
Cost Change Control Process
The cost change control processwill follow the establishedprojectchange requestprocess. Approvals
for projectbudget/costchangesmustbe approvedbythe Project Owner.

SCHEDULE MANAGEMENTPLAN
The projectschedule isthe roadmapforhow the projectwill be executed. The purpose of the schedule
managementplanistodefine the approachthe projectteamwill use increatingthe projectschedule.
Thisplanalso includeshowthe teamwill monitor the projectschedule andmanage changesafterthe
baseline schedulehasbeenapproved.Thisincludesidentifying,analyzing,documenting,prioritizing,
approvingorrejecting,andpublishing all schedule-relatedchanges.
Schedule Management Approach
Projectscheduleswill be createdusingthe deliverablesidentifiedinthe project’sWorkBreakdown
Structure (WBS). Activitydefinitionwill identifythe specificworkpackageswhichmustbe performedto
complete eachdeliverable. Activitysequencingwill be usedtodeterminethe orderof workpackages
and assignrelationshipsbetweenprojectactivities. Activitydurationestimatingwillbe usedtocalculate
the numberof work periodsrequiredtocomplete workpackages. Resource estimatingwill be usedto
assignresourcestoworkpackagesin orderto complete schedule development.
Once a preliminaryschedule hasbeendeveloped,itwill be reviewedbythe projectteamandany
resourcestentativelyassignedtoprojecttasks. The projectteamand resourcesmustagree to the
proposedworkpackage assignments,durations,andschedule. Once thisisachievedthe ProjectOwner
will reviewandapprove the scheduleand itwill thenbe baselined.
The followingwill be designatesasmilestonesforthe projectschedule:
- Completionof (CAD) componentandsystemintegration(excludingdamperandspring
componentsandbrake package)
- Selectionof suspensionpackage andbrake package
- Completionof vehiclechassis
- Installationandintegrationof vehicle systems
- Firstvehicle test
- Interiortestingandlightclustertesting
- Secondvehicle test
Roles and responsibilitiesfor scheduledevelopmentareasfollows:
The Program Manager will be responsibleforfacilitatingworkpackage definition,sequencing,and
estimatingdurationandresourceswiththe projectteam.The ProgramManager will validatethe
schedule withthe projectteam,stakeholders,andthe ProjectOwner. The ProgramManager will obtain
schedule approval fromthe ProjectOwner andbaseline the schedule.
The projectteam isresponsible forparticipatinginworkpackage definition,sequencing,andduration
and resource estimating. The projectteamwill alsoreview andvalidatethe proposedschedule and
performassignedactivities once the scheduleisapproved.
37
The ProjectOwnerwill participate inreviewsof the proposedschedule andapprove the finalschedule
before itisbaselined.
The projectstakeholderswill participate inreviewsof the proposedschedule andassistinitsvalidation.
Schedule Control
The projectschedule will be reviewedandupdatedasnecessaryona weeklybasiswithactual start,
actual finish,andcompletionpercentageswhichwill be providedbytaskowners.
The Program Manager isresponsibleforholdingweeklyscheduleupdates/reviews;determiningimpacts
of schedule variances;submittingschedule change requests;andreportingschedulestatusin
accordance withthe project’scommunicationsplan.
The projectteam isresponsible forparticipatinginweeklyscheduleupdates/reviews; communicating
any changesto actual start/finishdatestothe ProgramManager; and participatinginschedule variance
resolutionactivitiesasneeded.
The ProjectOwnerwill maintainawarenessof the projectschedule statusandreview/approveany
schedule change requestssubmittedbythe ProgramManager.
Schedule Changes and Thresholds
If any memberof the projectteamdeterminesthatachange to the schedule isnecessary,the Program
Manager and teamwill meettoreviewandevaluatethe change. The ProgramManager andproject
teammust determinewhichtaskswill be impacted,variance asaresultof the potential change,andany
alternativesorvariance resolutionactivitiestheymayemploytosee how theywouldaffectthe scope,
schedule,andresources. If,afterthisevaluationiscomplete,the ProgramManagerdeterminesthatany
change will exceedthe establishedboundaryconditions,thenaschedule change requestmustbe
submitted.
Submittal of a schedule change requesttothe ProjectOwnerfor approval isrequiredif eitherof the two
followingconditionsistrue:
- The proposedchange isestimatedtoincrease the durationof anindividualworkpackage by
10% or more.
- The change isestimatedtoincrease the durationof the overall baseline scheduleby10% or
more.
Anychange requeststhatdo not meetthese thresholdsmaybe submittedtothe ProgramManager for
approval.
Once the change requesthasbeenreviewedandapprovedthe ProgramManageris responsible for
adjustingthe schedule andcommunicatingall changesandimpactstothe projectteam, ProjectOwner,
38
and stakeholders. The ProgramManagermust alsoensure that all change requestsare archivedinthe
projectrecordsrepository.
Scope Change
Anychangesinthe projectscope,whichhave beenapprovedbythe ProjectOwner,willrequirethe
projectteamto evaluate the effectof the scope change on the currentschedule. If the Program
Manager determinesthatthe scope change will significantlyaffectthe currentprojectschedule,he may
requestthatthe schedule be re-baselinedinconsiderationof anychangeswhichneedtobe made as
part of the newprojectscope. The ProjectOwnermustreview andapprove thisrequestbefore the
schedule canbe re-baselined.

RISK MANAGEMENTPLAN
The purpose of the riskmanagementplanistoestablishthe frameworkinwhichthe projectteamwill
identifyrisksanddevelop strategiestomitigate oravoidthose risks. However,beforeriskscanbe
identifiedandmanaged,thereare preliminaryprojectelementswhichmustbe completed. These
elementsare outlinedinthe riskmanagementapproach.
Before riskmanagementbeginsitisimperative thatafoundationisestablishedforprovidingstructured
projectinformation,thus,the followingprojectelementswerecompletedanddefinedpriorto
developingthisRiskManagementPlan:
- Define workscope,schedule,resources,andcostelements
o DevelopprojectWBS
o Developproject schedule
o Estimate projectcost
o Identifyrequiredresources
o Establishperformance measurementmetrics
- Define minimumandmaximumbaseline thresholds
o Schedule
o Cost
- Define RiskManagementRolesandResponsibilities
o Program Managerchairs the riskassessmentmeetings
o Projectteamparticipatesinriskassessmentmeetingsandmembersserve asmeeting
recorderand timekeeper
o Keystakeholdersparticipate inriskassessmentmeetings
Risk Management Approach
The approach takento manage risk for thisprojectincludesamethodical processbywhichthe project
teamidentifies,scores,andranksthe variousrisks. The mostlikely andthe highestimpactrisksare
addedto the projectschedule toensure thatthe assignedstakeholderstake the necessarystepsto
implementthe mitigationresponse atthe appropriate time duringthe schedule.
The assignedstakeholderswill provide statusupdatesontheirassignedrisksinthe weeklyprojectteam
meetings,butonlywhenthe meetingsinclude theirrisk’splannedtimeframe. Uponthe completionof
the project,duringthe closingprocess,the ProgramManagerwill analyse eachriskaswell asthe risk
managementprocess. Basedonthisanalysis,the ProgramManagerwill identify anyimprovementsthat
can be made to the riskmanagementprocessforfuture projects. These improvementswill be captured
as part of the lessonslearnedknowledge base.
43
Risk Identification
Risk AssessmentMeeting
A riskassessmentmeetingwasheldwithkeyteammembersandstakeholders. The risksidentified
duringthismeetingwere addedtothe projectplanandRisk AssessmentMatrix.
Historical Review of Similar Projects
The projectteam reviewedthe historyof similarprojectsinordertodetermine the mostcommonrisks
and the strategiesusedtomitigate those risks.
Risk Qualification and Prioritization
In orderto determine the severityof the risksidentifiedbythe team, aprobabilityandimpactfactor
was assignedtoeachrisk. Thisprocessallowedthe ProgramManagerto prioritize risksbaseduponthe
effecttheymayhave onthe project.
Risk Monitoring
The most likelyandgreatestimpactriskshave beenaddedtothe projectplantoensure thattheyare
monitoredduringthe time the projectisexposedtoeachrisk. Atthe appropriate time inthe project
schedule aprojectstakeholderisassignedtoeachrisk. Duringthe weeklyprojectteammeetingthe
assignedstakeholderforeachriskwill discussthe statusof that risk;however,onlyriskswhichfall inthe
currenttime periodwill be discussed. Riskmonitoringwill be acontinuousprocessthroughoutthe life
of thisproject. Asrisksapproachon the projectschedule the ProgramManagerwill ensure thatthe
appropriate stakeholderprovidesthe necessarystatusupdateswhichincludethe riskstatus,
identificationof triggerconditions,andthe documentationof the resultsof the riskresponse.
Risk Mitigation and Avoidance
The Program Manager has ledthe projectteamindevelopingresponsestoeachidentifiedrisk. Asmore
risksare identified,theywill be qualifiedandthe teamwill developavoidance andmitigationstrategies.
These riskswill alsobe addedtothe Risk AssessmentMatrix andthe projectplanto ensure theyare
monitoredatthe appropriate timesandare respondedtoaccordingly.
The risksfor thisprojectwill be managedandcontrolledwithinthe constraintsof time,scope,andcost.
All identifiedriskswill be evaluatedinordertodetermine how theyaffectthistriple constraint. The
Program Manager,withthe assistance of the projectteam, will determinethe bestwaytorespondto
each riskto ensure compliance withthese constraints.
44
In extreme casesitmaybe necessarytoallow flexibilitytoone of the project’sconstraints. Schedule
and cost forthisprojectallowsforflexibilityasa lastresort. If necessary,fundingmaybe addedtothe
projectinorder tomeetthe scope constraint. Scope is a firmconstraintthatallowsforno flexibility.
The schedule andcost constraintsare flexibleonlyinextreme caseswherenootherriskavoidance or
mitigationstrategywill work.
Risk Assessment Matrix
The Risk AssessmentMatrix forthisprojectisa log of all identifiedrisks,theirprobabilityandimpactto
the project.The RiskAssessmentMatrix wascreatedthroughthe initial projectriskmanagement

CHANGE MANAGEMENTPLAN
The Change ManagementPlanwascreatedin orderto setexpectationsonhow the approachto
changeswill be managed,whatdefinesachange,the purpose androle of the change control board,
and the overall change managementprocess. All stakeholderswill be expectedtosubmitorrequest
changesinaccordance withthisChange ManagementPlanandall requestsandsubmissionswill
followthe processdetailedherein.
Change Management Approach
The Change Managementapproachwill ensure thatall proposedchangesare defined,reviewed,and
agreeduponso theycan be properlyimplementedandcommunicatedtoall stakeholders. This
approach will alsoensure thatonlychangeswithinthe scope of this projectare approvedand
implemented.
The Change Managementapproachis notto be confusedwiththe Change ManagementProcess
whichwill be detailedlaterinthisplan. The Change Managementapproachconsistsof three areas:
- Ensure changesare withinscope andbeneficial tothe project
- Determine howthe change will be implemented
- Manage the change as it isimplemented
The Change Managementprocesshasbeendesignedtomake sure thisapproachisfollowedforall
changes. Usingthisapproach methodology will preventunnecessarychange fromoccurringand
focusresourcesonlyonbeneficial changeswithinthe projectscope.
Definitions of Change
There are several typesof changeswhichmaybe requestedandconsideredforthe project.
Dependingonthe extentandtype of proposedchanges,changesprojectdocumentationandthe
communicationof these changeswill be requiredtoinclude anyapprovedchangesintothe project
planand ensure all stakeholdersare notified. Typesof changesinclude:
- Scheduling Changes:changeswhichwill impactthe approvedprojectschedule. These
changesmay require fasttracking,crashing,orre-baseliningthe schedule dependingonthe
significance of the impact.
- BudgetChanges:changeswhichwillimpactthe approvedprojectbudget. These changes
may require requestingadditional funding,releasingfundingwhichwouldnolongerbe
required,oraddingto managementreserves. Mayrequire changestothe cost baseline.
- ScopeChanges:changeswhichare necessaryandimpactthe project’sscope whichmaybe
the resultof unforeseenrequirementswhichwerenotinitiallyplannedfor. These changes
may alsoimpactbudgetand schedule. These changesmayrequire revisiontoWBS,project
scope statement,andotherprojectdocumentationasnecessary.
The Program Manager mustensure thatany approvedchangesare communicatedtothe project
stakeholders. Additionally,aschangesare approved,the ProgramManagermust ensure thatthe
changesare capturedinthe projectdocumentationwherenecessary. These documentupdates

PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENTPLAN
The ProcurementManagementPlansetsthe procurementframeworkforthisproject. Itwill serve
as a guide formanagingprocurementthroughoutthe life of the projectandwill be updatedas
acquisitionneedschange. Thisplanidentifiesanddefinesthe items tobe procured,the typesof
contracts to be usedinsupportof thisproject,the contract approval process,anddecisioncriteria.
The importance of coordinatingprocurementactivities,establishingfirmcontractdeliverables,and
metricsinmeasuringprocurementactivitiesisincluded. Otheritemsincludedinthe procurement
managementplaninclude:procurementrisksandprocurementriskmanagementconsiderations;
howcosts will be determined;how procurementdocumentationwill be used;andprocurement
constraints.
Procurement management approach
The Head of Contactand Commercial Management will provide oversightandmanagementforall
procurementactivitiesunderthisproject. The ProgramManager will workwiththe projectteamto
identifyall itemstobe procuredforthe successful completionof the project. The Contractand
Commercial Managementoffice togetherwiththe Technical Head will thenreview the procurement
listandbeginthe supplierselectionandcontractingprocess..
Procurement definition
The followingprocurementitemsand serviceshave beendeterminedtobe essential for project
completionandsuccess.
Item/Service Justification Date
Brake package Critical component Selectionmade by
17/07/2015
Suspensionpackage Critical component Selectionmade by
17/07/2015
In additiontothe above listof procurementitems,the followingindividualsare authorizedto
approve purchasesforthe projectteam:
Name Role
Gordon Murray Technical Head
JimBergmann Contract and Commercial Management
Type of contracts
All items andservicestobe procuredforthisprojectwill be solicitedunderfirm-fixedprice
contracts. The contracts and commercial managementofficewillsolicitbidsfrom suppliers. Supplier
62
bidswill thenbe reviewedbythe Technical Head,the Headof Contractand Commercial
Managementandthe ProjectOwner.
Procurement risk management
All procurementactivitiescarrysome potential forriskwhichmustbe managedtoensure project
success.While all riskswill be managedinaccordance withthe project’s riskmanagementplan,
there are specificriskswhichpertainspecificallytoprocurementwhichmustbe considered:
- Unrealisticscheduleandcostexpectationsforsuppliers
- Manufacturingcapacitycapabilitiesof suppliers
- Conflictswithcurrentcontractsand supplierrelationships
- Potential delaysin delivery andimpactsoncost and schedule
- Potential thatfinal product/service doesnotmeetrequiredspecifications
These risksare not all-inclusive andthe standardriskmanagementprocessof identifying,
documenting, analysing,mitigating,and managingriskswill be used.
As previouslystated,projectriskswillbe managedinaccordance withthe project’sriskmanagement
plan. However,forrisksrelatedspecificallytoprocurement,there mustbe additional consideration
and involvement. Projectprocurementeffortsinvolveexternal organizationsandpotentiallyaffect
currentand future businessrelationshipsaswell as internal supplychainandsupplier management
operations. Because of the sensitivityof these relationshipsthe projectteamwillinclude the
Technical Headand the Headof Contract andCommercial Managementinall projectmeetingsand
statusreviews.
Additionally,anyissuesconcerningprocurementactionsoranynewlyidentifiedriskswill
immediatelybe communicatedtothe Headof Contract and Commercial Management.
Cost determination
For thisprojecta RequestforProposal (RFP) willbe issuedtosolicitproposalsfromvarioussuppliers
coveringhowtheywill meetthe technical requirementsandthe costof doingso.The technical
requirementsof the RFPwill be compiledbythe Technical Headwhile all non-technical sectionswill
be compiledbythe Headof Contractand Commercial Management.
Procurement documentation
The procurementmanagementprocessconsistsof manystepsaswell asongoingmanagementof all
procurementactivitiesandcontracts. The goal mustbe to simplifyprocurementmanagementbyall
necessarymeansinorderto facilitate successfulcompletionof the project. Toaid insimplifying
these tasks,the knowledge base of the Contractand Commercial ManagementOffice willbe used.
The Contract and Commercial ManagementOffice maintains aclause andtemplate libraryonFPT’s
Contract Managementsystemthatwill be usedforthisproject. The followingdocumentswill be
used(ata minimum) forprojectprocurementactivities:
63
- RFP
o Background
o Proposal processandtimelines
o Proposal guidelines
o Technical specification
o Proposal formatsandmedia
o Selectioncriteria
o Pricingforms
o Statementof work
o Termsand Conditions
- Mutual non-disclosure agreement
- Letterof intent
- Firmfixedprice contract
- Procurementauditform
- Procurementperformanceevaluationform
- Lessonslearnedform
Procurement constraints
There are several constraintsthatmustbe consideredaspartof the project’sprocurement
managementplan. These constraintswill be includedinthe RFPandcommunicatedtoall suppliers.
Schedule:
- Projectschedule isnotflexible andthe procurementactivitiesandcontractfulfilmentmustbe
completedwithinthe establishedprojectschedule.
Technology:
- Specificationswill be includedinthe statementof workaspart of the RFP. While proposalsmay
include suggestedalternativesand/orenhancements,parts specificationsmustmatchthose
providedinthe statementof workexactly.
Contract approvalprocess
The Program Manager will workwiththe projectteam, the Technical Headandthe Head of Contract
and Commercial Managementtodefine the itemtypes,quantities,servicesandrequireddelivery
dates. The contractsand commercial managementoffice will thensolicitbidsfromsuppliers.
Supplierbidswill thenbe reviewedbythe Technical Head,the Headof Contractand Commercial
Managementandthe ProjectOwner,togetherconstitutingthe ContractReview Board.
Once a contract has beenapprovedbythe ContractReview Boardthe ProgramManager is
authorizedtoapprove all expendituresupto,andincluding,the allocatedamountsinaccordance
withthe contract.
Decision criteria
The criteriafor the selectionandawardof procurementcontractsunderthisprojectwill be basedon
the followingdecisioncriteria:
- Abilityof the suppliertoprovide all itemsbythe requireddeliverydate
64
- QualityandReliability
- Cost includingongoingmaintenance andreplacement
- Past performance

Summary:
At the endof Week5 the EV is101 400 USD and a PV of 101 400 USD. The Schedule Variance (SV) is
therefore 0and the projectison schedule –thiscan also be seenwiththe Schedule Performance
Index (SPI) of 1.
The Cost Performance Index (CPI) isalittle below 1at 0.97 due to the AC beingslightlyhigherat
104 551 than the EV at 101 400. The higherACisprimarilydue tothe highercostsassociatedwith
Task 6.1 and Task1.1 in Week2, where additionalresourceswere addedtothe project.

EAC(f) atweek5 233847.6
Based on the EAC(f) calculated at Week 5, the project will exceed the total planned value (BAC) by
7048 USD. This of course assumes that the CPI remains constant over the remainder of the project.

How to buildhighperformance teams
by Ikhlaq Sidhu
Chief scientist, facultydirector and founding director,CenterforEntrepreneurship &Technology,
IEOR department,Collegeof Engineering,UCBerkeley
[The} keyideaisthat thistype of organizational culture isnotlike afamily. Instead, itsmuchmore
like aprofessional sportsteam. Professionalsare paidattop rates. The goal is to hire starsfor every
position. The rationale isthateachhighperformercandeliver10x inperformance. Andunlike a
family,theydon’tmindwhenitstime foraplayertoleave. The culture alsodoesnotprovide career
planning. The bestlong-termsecurityistohave a have a great reputationof havingaccomplished
great thingsandthe skillstomatch.
Of course highperformance teamsare flat(non-hierarchical) andtheytypicallyvalueinnovators,
conflict(requiredtoseekoutthe bestof ideas),andclear,direct communication.
Otherconceptsfor highperformance teamsare:
 Results-oriented.
Hard work isactuallyirrelevant,onlytheresults matter. The firmwon’tmeasure anyone’s
time inthe office orevenvacationdays. In fact,there isnot evenanexpense policy. The
guidance isto simplyuse commonsense todowhatisright forthe organization.
 Low Process/High Flexibility.
Highperformersthrive onfreedom. However,asfirmsgrow,theyuse processestocombat
the complexityfromscaling. Thishasa tendencytocripple innovationanddrive outhigh
performers. The proposal made inthisslide setistogrow by hiringonlytrulyhigh
performingpeople andtoavoidaddingprocessandnew rules. Thisleavesthe organization
flexible sothatitcan adapt to the inevitable changesyettocome.
 Context-focusednotdelegation-focused.
There issome highlyrelevantadviceformanagersaswell.Aswe know,highperformers
thrive onfreedom,soconsiderthisconceptfromAntoine De Saint-Exupery,“If youwantto
builda ship,don’tdrumupthe people togatherwood,dividethe work,andgive
orders. Insteadteachthemto yearnfor the vast andendlesssea.” AccordingtoMcCord,
“The bestmanagersfigure outgreatoutcomesbysettingthe appropriate context,rather
74
than tryingto control people.” Don’tsettop-downdecisions,don’tuse management
approvals,anddon’tdefertocommittees. Andplanningandprocessshouldneverbe valued
overresult.“Whenone of your people doessomethingdumb,don’tblame them. Instead:
Askyourself whatcontextyoufailedtoset.” And,“whenyouare temptedtocontrol,ask
yourself whatcontextyoucouldsetinstead.”
The documentexplainsthe behaviorsthata highperformance culture expects. Accordingtoits
author,highperformance culture isnotforeveryone. Andforthatmatter,it’snot forevery
organization.
Questionstoconsider:
1. How wouldyouknowwhethera“highperformance culture”isrightforyourorganization’s
mission?
2. Couldthisbe establishedinpocketsof the organizationordoesitneedtobe driventop-
downand implementedeverywhere?
3. What are the drawbacksor downsidestohighperformance teamculture?
(Sidhu,2011)

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Settingthe stage for projectmanagement – a primeron the basics:
The followingthree pointshave beenproposedaskeyareasof focusfor attainingsuccessinproject
managementwithinthe organisation:
- The appointmentof a projectmanagerwithauthorityandresponsibilityoverthe project
lifecycle
- Establishmentof anorganisational culture conducive tothe creationof highperformance
teams.Please refertothe section“Guidanceon creating high performanceteams”.
- Implementationof the projectlifecycle withinthe organisation
Thisintroduction onperformance improvementinprojectmanagement will focusonthe project
lifecycle,providingahighleveloverviewof the fourstages.
ProjectLifecycle (Larson and Gray,2010)
Four stagesof the projectlifecycle:
- Definition
- Planning
- Execution
- Closing
76
The DefiningStage
In the definingstage we askourselvesthe fundamental question;whatisthatwe wishto accomplish
and howwill we goaboutattainingour objective(s)?
The outputof thisprocesswill be ourprojectobjective.The projectobjective shouldbe clearly
defined,understandable andcommunicatedtoall projectparticipants.Additional outputsatthis
stage at a highlevel will include the definitionof goalsalongthe waythatwill helpusinachieving
our objective,the skillsandcompetenciesof requiredteam members,highlevel specifications,tasks
and responsibilitiesof teamparticipants.
The projectobjective setsthe course forthe projectandshouldbe instilledinthe heartsandminds
of all participants.
The PlanningStage
At thisstage we get stuck intothe details,leavingnostone unturnedinanefforttoestablish
schedules,budgets,resourcesrequirementsandidentifyprojectrisks.Withplanningwe gothrough
that toughmental effortof understandingall thatwe can abouthow we are goingto lay the ground
workand musterthe troopsto achieve projectsuccess.Inthisstage we builduponthe workdone in
the definingstage aswe aligngoalswithbudgets,responsibilitieswithresources,taskswith
schedulesandconcernourselveswithriskmanagement–alwayshopingforthe bestbutbeing
preparedforthe worst.
The planningstage isfertile groundforthe seeds of projectfailure–so don’tletthemgerminate by
beingnegligible withthe planning.Researchby Daniel KahnemanandAmosTverskyhasshownthat
people tendtobe overlyoptimisticandunderestimate taskcompletiontimes.BentFlyvbjerghas
proposedanapproach calledreference classforecastingtomitigate the planningfallacy.
At a highlevel reference classforecastingentails:
- Identifyinganappropriate reference class
- Obtainthe statisticsof the reference classanduse togenerate abaseline prediction
- Use specificinformationaboutthe case to adjustthe baseline prediction
The ExecutingStage
The third stage of the project lifecycle isthe executionstage.The executionstage istypicallythe
longeststage inthe projectlifecycleandincludesthe formulationof statusreports,change
management,qualitymanagementandforecasting. The executionstage iswhere the rubbermeets
the road, our objective startstotake ona more tangible formasour plansare translatedintoaction.
Good planninginthe priorstage shouldresultinsmoothsailinginthe executionstage ,however
stormscan format any time andit isthenthat the value of a riskmanagementplanwill be putto
the test.
Managementandcontrol are critical inthe executionstage,withthe pointof reference beingthe
schedule,costandscope producedduringthe planningstage.
77
The ClosingStage
The closingstage typicallycoversthe deliveryof the final product/service(the objective definedat
the verystart),a postprojectreviewshouldnow be conductedandthe closingstage mayalso
involve the redeployingof projectresources.Postprojectreviewisanimportantcomponentof the
projectlifecycleandone thatis oftenoverlooked.Postprojectreview servesasthe inputfor
improvementsinfuture projectplanning,asall the learningthatoccurredthroughoutthe project
lifecycle isformalisedaslessonslearned.

  • 32. 31 COST MANAGEMENTPLAN The Program Manager, KevinJones,will be responsible formanagingandreportingonthe project’scost throughoutthe durationof the project. Priorto the weeklyprojectteammeeting,the Program Manager will meetwithFPTmanagementtopresentandreview the project’scostperformance forthe precedingweek. Performancewillbe measuredusingearnedvalue. The ProgramManageris responsible foraccountingforcostdeviationsandpresentingthe ProjectOwnerwithoptionsforgetting the projectback on budget. The ProjectOwnerhasthe authorityto make changesto the project to bringit back withinbudget. Cost Management Approach Costsfor thisprojectwill be managedatthe thirdlevel of the WorkBreakdownStructure (WBS). Control Accounts(CA) will be createdatthislevel totrackcosts. EarnedValue calculationsforthe CA’s will measure andmanage the financial performanceof the project. Creditforworkwill be assignedat the work package level. Workstartedon workpackageswill grantthat workpackage with50% credit; whereas,the remaining50%is crediteduponcompletionof all workdefinedinthatworkpackage. Costsmay be roundedto the nearestdollar. Cost variancesof ≥10% in the cost and schedule performance will change the status of the costto cautionary;as such,those valueswill be changedtoamberinthe projectstatusreports. Cost variances of ≥20% inthe cost and schedule performance will change the statusof the costto an alertstage; as such,those valueswill be changedtoredinthe projectstatus reports. Costvariancesof >20% inthe cost and schedule performance will require corrective action.Corrective actionswill require aproject change requestandbe must approvedbythe ProjectOwnerbefore itcanbecome withinthe scope of the project. Measuring Project Costs Projectperformance willbe measuredusingEarnedValue Management. The followingtwoEarned Value metricswill be usedtomeasure the project’scostperformance: - Schedule Variance (SV) o ≥0.10 Amber o ≥0.20 Red - Cost Variance (CV) o ≥0.10 Amber o ≥0.20 Red Schedule Variance (SV) isameasurementof the schedule performance foraproject. It’scalculatedby takingthe Earned Value (EV) andsubtractingthe PlannedValue (PV).

The purpose of the schedule managementplanistodefine the approachthe projectteamwill use increatingthe projectschedule. Thisplanalso includeshowthe teamwill monitor the projectschedule andmanage changesafterthe baseline schedulehasbeenapproved.Thisincludesidentifying,analyzing,documenting,prioritizing, approvingorrejecting,andpublishing all schedule-relatedchanges. Schedule Management Approach Projectscheduleswill be createdusingthe deliverablesidentifiedinthe project’sWorkBreakdown Structure (WBS). Activitydefinitionwill identifythe specificworkpackageswhichmustbe performedto complete eachdeliverable. Activitysequencingwill be usedtodeterminethe orderof workpackages and assignrelationshipsbetweenprojectactivities. Activitydurationestimatingwillbe usedtocalculate the numberof work periodsrequiredtocomplete workpackages. Resource estimatingwill be usedto assignresourcestoworkpackagesin orderto complete schedule development. Once a preliminaryschedule hasbeendeveloped,itwill be reviewedbythe projectteamandany resourcestentativelyassignedtoprojecttasks. The projectteamand resourcesmustagree to the proposedworkpackage assignments,durations,andschedule. Once thisisachievedthe ProjectOwner will reviewandapprove the scheduleand itwill thenbe baselined.

Schedule Changes and Thresholds If any memberof the projectteamdeterminesthatachange to the schedule isnecessary,the Program Manager and teamwill meettoreviewandevaluatethe change. The ProgramManager andproject teammust determinewhichtaskswill be impacted,variance asaresultof the potential change,andany alternativesorvariance resolutionactivitiestheymayemploytosee how theywouldaffectthe scope, schedule,andresources. If,afterthisevaluationiscomplete,the ProgramManagerdeterminesthatany change will exceedthe establishedboundaryconditions,thenaschedule change requestmustbe submitted. Submittal of a schedule change requesttothe ProjectOwnerfor approval isrequiredif eitherof the two followingconditionsistrue: - The proposedchange isestimatedtoincrease the durationof anindividualworkpackage by 10% or more. - The change isestimatedtoincrease the durationof the overall baseline scheduleby10% or more.

Definitions of Change There are several typesof changeswhichmaybe requestedandconsideredforthe project. Dependingonthe extentandtype of proposedchanges,changesprojectdocumentationandthe communicationof these changeswill be requiredtoinclude anyapprovedchangesintothe project planand ensure all stakeholdersare notified. Typesof changesinclude: - Scheduling Changes:changeswhichwill impactthe approvedprojectschedule. These changesmay require fasttracking,crashing,orre-baseliningthe schedule dependingonthe significance of the impact. - BudgetChanges:changeswhichwillimpactthe approvedprojectbudget.

The importance of coordinatingprocurementactivities,establishingfirmcontractdeliverables,and metricsinmeasuringprocurementactivitiesisincluded. Otheritemsincludedinthe procurement managementplaninclude:procurementrisksandprocurementriskmanagementconsiderations; howcosts will be determined;how procurementdocumentationwill be used;andprocurement constraints. Procurement management approach The Head of Contactand Commercial Management will provide oversightandmanagementforall procurementactivitiesunderthisproject. The ProgramManager will workwiththe projectteamto identifyall itemstobe procuredforthe successful completionof the project. The Contractand Commercial Managementoffice togetherwiththe Technical Head will thenreview the procurement listandbeginthe supplierselectionandcontractingprocess..

Procurement risk management All procurementactivitiescarrysome potential forriskwhichmustbe managedtoensure project success.While all riskswill be managedinaccordance withthe project’s riskmanagementplan, there are specificriskswhichpertainspecificallytoprocurementwhichmustbe considered: - Unrealisticscheduleandcostexpectationsforsuppliers - Manufacturingcapacitycapabilitiesof suppliers - Conflictswithcurrentcontractsand supplierrelationships - Potential delaysin delivery andimpactsoncost and schedule - Potential thatfinal product/service doesnotmeetrequiredspecifications These risksare not all-inclusive andthe standardriskmanagementprocessof identifying, documenting, analysing,mitigating,and managingriskswill be used. As previouslystated,projectriskswillbe managedinaccordance withthe project’sriskmanagement plan. However,forrisksrelatedspecificallytoprocurement,there mustbe additional consideration and involvement. Projectprocurementeffortsinvolveexternal organizationsandpotentiallyaffect currentand future businessrelationshipsaswell as internal supplychainandsupplier management operations. Because of the sensitivityof these relationshipsthe projectteamwillinclude the Technical Headand the Headof Contract andCommercial Managementinall projectmeetingsand statusreviews. Additionally,anyissuesconcerningprocurementactionsoranynewlyidentifiedriskswill immediatelybe communicatedtothe Headof Contract and Commercial Management. Cost determination For thisprojecta RequestforProposal (RFP) willbe issuedtosolicitproposalsfromvarioussuppliers coveringhowtheywill meetthe technical requirementsandthe costof doingso.The technical requirementsof the RFPwill be compiledbythe Technical Headwhile all non-technical sectionswill be compiledbythe Headof Contractand Commercial Management. Procurement documentation The procurementmanagementprocessconsistsof manystepsaswell asongoingmanagementof all procurementactivitiesandcontracts. The goal mustbe to simplifyprocurementmanagementbyall necessarymeansinorderto facilitate successfulcompletionof the project. Toaid insimplifying these tasks,the knowledge base of the Contractand Commercial ManagementOffice willbe used. The Contract and Commercial ManagementOffice maintains aclause andtemplate libraryonFPT’s Contract Managementsystemthatwill be usedforthisproject. The followingdocumentswill be used(ata minimum) forprojectprocurementactivities:

These constraintswill be includedinthe RFPandcommunicatedtoall suppliers. Schedule: - Projectschedule isnotflexible andthe procurementactivitiesandcontractfulfilmentmustbe completedwithinthe establishedprojectschedule. Technology: - Specificationswill be includedinthe statementof workaspart of the RFP. While proposalsmay include suggestedalternativesand/orenhancements,parts specificationsmustmatchthose providedinthe statementof workexactly. Contract approvalprocess The Program Manager will workwiththe projectteam, the Technical Headandthe Head of Contract and Commercial Managementtodefine the itemtypes,quantities,servicesandrequireddelivery dates. The contractsand commercial managementoffice will thensolicitbidsfromsuppliers. Supplierbidswill thenbe reviewedbythe Technical Head,the Headof Contractand Commercial Managementandthe ProjectOwner,togetherconstitutingthe ContractReview Board. Once a contract has beenapprovedbythe ContractReview Boardthe ProgramManager is authorizedtoapprove all expendituresupto,andincluding,the allocatedamountsinaccordance withthe contract. Decision criteria The criteriafor the selectionandawardof procurementcontractsunderthisprojectwill be basedon the followingdecisioncriteria: - Abilityof the suppliertoprovide all itemsbythe requireddeliverydate

Culture - High Performance - Netflix.pdf How to buildhighperformance teams by Ikhlaq Sidhu Chief scientist, facultydirector and founding director,CenterforEntrepreneurship &Technology, IEOR department,Collegeof Engineering,UCBerkeley [The} keyideaisthat thistype of organizational culture isnotlike afamily. Instead, itsmuchmore like aprofessional sportsteam. Professionalsare paidattop rates. The goal is to hire starsfor every position. The rationale isthateachhighperformercandeliver10x inperformance. Andunlike a family,theydon’tmindwhenitstime foraplayertoleave. The culture alsodoesnotprovide career planning. The bestlong-termsecurityistohave a have a great reputationof havingaccomplished great thingsandthe skillstomatch. Of course highperformance teamsare flat(non-hierarchical) andtheytypicallyvalueinnovators, conflict(requiredtoseekoutthe bestof ideas),andclear,direct communication. Otherconceptsfor highperformance teamsare:  Results-oriented. Hard work isactuallyirrelevant,onlytheresults matter. The firmwon’tmeasure anyone’s time inthe office orevenvacationdays. In fact,there isnot evenanexpense policy. The guidance isto simplyuse commonsense todowhatisright forthe organization.  Low Process/High Flexibility. Highperformersthrive onfreedom. However,asfirmsgrow,theyuse processestocombat the complexityfromscaling. Thishasa tendencytocripple innovationanddrive outhigh performers. The proposal made inthisslide setistogrow by hiringonlytrulyhigh performingpeople andtoavoidaddingprocessandnew rules. Thisleavesthe organization flexible sothatitcan adapt to the inevitable changesyettocome.  Context-focusednotdelegation-focused. There issome highlyrelevantadviceformanagersaswell.Aswe know,highperformers thrive onfreedom,soconsiderthisconceptfromAntoine De Saint-Exupery,“If youwantto builda ship,don’tdrumupthe people togatherwood,dividethe work,andgive orders. Insteadteachthemto yearnfor the vast andendlesssea.” AccordingtoMcCord, “The bestmanagersfigure outgreatoutcomesbysettingthe appropriate context,rather
  • 75. 74 than tryingto control people.” Don’tsettop-downdecisions,don’tuse management approvals,anddon’tdefertocommittees. Andplanningandprocessshouldneverbe valued overresult.“Whenone of your people doessomethingdumb,don’tblame them. Instead: Askyourself whatcontextyoufailedtoset.” And,“whenyouare temptedtocontrol,ask yourself whatcontextyoucouldsetinstead.” The documentexplainsthe behaviorsthata highperformance culture expects. Accordingtoits author,highperformance culture isnotforeveryone. Andforthatmatter,it’snot forevery organization. Questionstoconsider: 1. How wouldyouknowwhethera“highperformance culture”isrightforyourorganization’s mission? 2. Couldthisbe establishedinpocketsof the organizationordoesitneedtobe driventop- downand implementedeverywhere? 3. What are the drawbacksor downsidestohighperformance teamculture? (Sidhu,2011)
