Focus Area/Rating Comments
Governance

green icon Green
Governance remained in Green (satisfactory) status: • The DIR re-directed a critical resource causing a substantial schedule delay for the Release 2 SI services. • Reminder that the PSRs need to be submitted no later than the 5th business day of the following month. - i.e., the September PSR was due October 7.
Time Management

yellow icon Yellow
Time Management remained in Yellow (caution) status: • The IPO Manager observed that there is no plan for development work for Release 2. > The Master Project Schedule Plan needs to be updated to reflect a solid draft schedule in advance of re-releasing the RFO/SOW for an SI for Release 2 development. The schedule would then be reviewed and augmented with the new SI. • The PMO Manger determined that due to the significant schedule delay, the Project requires a Special Project Report (SPR) to re-baseline the schedule. • The delay in procuring the second SI is likely to result in a 12-month schedule delay. This is dependent on the procurement which is dependent on the RFP/SOW updates by the DIR contract manager.
Cost & Contract Management

yellow icon Yellow
Cost & Contract Management remained in Yellow (caution) status: • The IPO Manager observed that there is a significant schedule delay which requires re-baselining the costs via the SPR process. • Re-procurement of the Release 2 SI will likely increase costs to the Project (extra FY) and may affect the reappropriation of FY2024/2025 Project funds.
Scope Management

green icon Green
Scope Management remained in Green (satisfactory) status: • The Project team continued with M&O and AppDev activities (backlog) with consultant support beginning this period. • Release 2 requirements/user stories development has been delayed approximately 12 months. • The IPO Manager observed that there is no plan for development work for Release 2. This is dependent on the SI being on-boarded at the end of the new procurement.
Resources

green icon Green
Resources remained in Green (satisfactory) status: • The Project procured M&O contractor services to temporarily augment the Project team for one (1) year. • The Project continued to recruit for 2.0 approved vacant positions; sometimes requiring more than one round of candidates. • The sole contract manager is an ongoing resource constraint.
Quality

green icon Green
Quality remained in Green (satisfactory) status: • The requirement for IV&V consulting services remains outstanding. > The IPO Manager observed that the second procurement for IV&V services received final bids in September and is now in the bid assessment phase. An IV&V contractor could be on-boarded this Fall. > Reference Conditions of Approval in this section, in the Quality Focus Area detail section, and in section Project Approval Letter – Conditions of Approval.
