Focus Area/Rating Comments
Governance

green icon Green
• IPO has observed the ESC reporting structure, that includes reporting on open risks and issues and the impact to the project schedule operating as planned. • IPO is continuing to monitor the ESC attendance and the time it takes to resolve critical issues as the project moves forward.
Time Management

green icon Green
• The current project schedule plans to complete the project within the approved baseline end date. • IPO is monitoring the timely completion of the Solution Implementation and Maintenance and Operations Plans which are complete with the exception of the 3rd party redaction software details.
Cost & Contract Management

yellow icon Yellow
• The Project’s Cost Management practices do not include forecasting staff workload to ensure that the current project budget is adequate. • In May 2024 IPO made some recommendations as to how actual costs can be collected and forecasted. • In May 2024 DFW developed a method to track actual Project Team hours worked and expenditures; however, a method to track the remaining budgeted hours and cost is still in development. • The Contract Management Plan was revised in November 2023; however, a plan to track contractor performance measurements and agreements is missing.
Scope Management

yellow icon Yellow
• Scope Management is covered in the approved Project Management Plan. • A high-level Decision Log that is incorporated into the Risk and Issue Log is currently being used to track project decisions and changes. • IPO has observed that the formal Change Request documentation and analysis process as outlined in the Project Management Plan is not being followed.
Resources

green icon Green
• The project’s methodology to manage human resources and staffing is not documented. IPO recommends identifying the DFW subject matter required skill sets and competencies for each team member along with an evaluation plan to assess the skills of new project members. Processes to approve and onboard additional resources should be included. • In September of 2024, LED has determined solution support will be at the district level. In December of 2024, the specific staff names were identified and the support training for these district staff was scheduled.
Quality

yellow icon Yellow
• A Quality Management Plan needs to be developed. The project is at risk without key quality metrics, a methodology to measure, reporting thresholds and identification of roles and responsibilities as it relates to quality management. • The project has used working sessions with the vendor, DFW and IV&V to improve the acceptability and content expectations in submitted deliverables; however, the issue will remain open until the documentation catches up with the schedule milestone dates.
