RM-4 INTEGRATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT DATA AND ANALYSIS REPORT

(IPMDAR)

Title:

INTEGRATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT DATA AND ANALYSIS

REPORT (IPMDAR)

DID for CDRL No.

RM-4

Reference:

SWiPS SOW Section 4.3.5 Purpose:

To provide information for: (1) integrating cost and schedule performance data with technical performance measures; (2) assessing the magnitude and impact of actual and potential problem areas causing significant cost and schedule variances; and (3) providing valid, timely project status information to higher management.

To ensure an integrated approach to project management, the data provided by this integrated program management data and analysis report (IPMDAR) DRD shall be in consonance with the work breakdown structure (WBS), organizational breakdown structure (OBS), risk management processes, plans and reports (where required), probabilistic risk assessment processes and reports (where required), the cost analysis data requirement (CADRe) (when required), and the monthly/quarterly contractor financial management reports (NASA 533M/Q). The contractor shall be able to reconcile between the NASA 533M/Q and the IPMDAR. This reconciliation should be included within the required IPMDAR performance narrative report.

IPMDAR contains data for measuring contractor cost and schedule performance at NASA.

The primary purpose is to reflect current performance status and the forecast of future performance.

The IPMDAR consists of the following components:

1) Contract Performance Dataset (CPD) – Provides performance/execution data from contractor existing management systems.

2) Schedule (Comprised of both Microsoft Project or Native Schedule File and the Schedule Performance Dataset (SPD) – Provides data from the consolidated contractor Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). At a minimum, subcontractor effort shall be incorporated into the IMS at an intermediate level with key milestones and be distinguishable from the contractor’s and subcontractor’s efforts.

3) Performance Narrative Report (Comprised of both the Executive Summary and Detailed Analysis Report) – Provides narrative analysis of data provided in the CPD and the SPD.

Check the L1 Series CM tool Server at https://ipdtdms.gsfc nasa.gov/ to verify that this is the correct version prior to use.

Preparation Information:

GSFC strongly recommends contractors to use Microsoft Project as their scheduling tool for integration with GSFC schedules.

1. Contract Performance Dataset (CPD), Instructions

Contractor will meet the requirements set forth in NASA IPMDAR Tailoring Supplement

(NITS)

a. The CPD shall be submitted in dollars as part of the original JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) submission. Contractors with IPMDAR flow down may submit dollars as part of the original Prime submission and provide a separate JSON file with dollars file directly to the Government to protect data sensitivities related to rates.

b. Data Repository-Electronic Submission and File Formats: Data in accordance with the applicable approved CPD FFS and Data Exchange Instructions (DEI) is to include all structures and units to at least the work package level.

c. Subcontractor Integration: Data for Subcontractors with an IPMDAR DID flow down requirement shall be integrated with the Prime’s IPMDAR CDRL delivery.

2. Schedule Performance Dataset (SPD)

a. GSFC strongly recommends contractors to use Microsoft Project as their scheduling tool for integration with GSFC schedules.

b. Contractors with IPMDAR flow down may submit dollars as part of the original Prime submission and provide a separate JSON file with both dollars and hours file directly to the Government to protect data sensitivities related to rates.

c. IMS Data Dictionary for Microsoft Project or Native IMS Schedule File’: The first monthly analysis narrative submission for the Schedule shall include the ‘Schedule Assumptions’ and ‘Data Dictionary’. Any change, post-first submission, to the ‘Schedule Assumptions’ or ‘Data Dictionary’ requires re-submittal of the information with the affected IPMDAR deliverable.

d. Schedule Risk Assessment (SRA) - Reporting Frequency’: An SRA can be performed, at the request of the Government, particularly when the schedule is a significant issue for the Government due to operational requirements, funding limitations, or when scheduling is considered a major risk element to the acquisition effort.

e. The Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) contains the contract milestones, accomplishments, criteria, discrete tasks/activities, work packages and planning packages, as applicable, from contract start to contract completion. The IMS is an integrated, logically driven, network-based schedule that is vertically and horizontally traceable. The IMS has traceability to, the project earned value management (EVM) work breakdown structure (WBS), project Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS), contractor control accounts (CAs), and contractor

work packages (WPs), if applicable to provide transparency for execution. The WBS and other SPD fields in the IMS are consistent with the contract performance dataset (CPD). The IMS contains all calendars that define working and non-working time periods or other information that may impact the schedule. Each event (e.g., milestone, activity, summary, etc.) identified in the IMS has a unique identifier that is consistent period to period.

f. The Table below shows elements of the Schedule Performance Dataset.

Element Description

Schedule The Schedule consists of horizontally and vertically integrated discrete tasks/activities, consistent with all authorized work, and relationships necessary for successful contract completion.

The Schedule is a single integrated network that also contains significant external interfaces, subcontractor discrete work, Government furnished equipment/ information/property and relationship dependencies for the entire contractual effort.

The Schedule shall contain all calendars that define working and nonworking time periods.

The schedule shall reflect accurate remaining durations, start dates, and finish dates for all tasks/activities and milestones in respect to the status date.

SOW/IMP

References

If a Statement of Work (SOW) or Integrated Master Plan (IMP) are used for vertical schedule integration, those references shall be provided in both the SPD and native schedule.

Milestones Provide zero duration schedule events marking the due date for accomplishment of a specified work scope or objective.

Milestone may mark the start, an interim step, or the end of one or more activities.

Tasks/Activities Provide elements of work with duration and logical relationships/dependencies.

Task/activity names shall be concise and unique in respect to other names within the Schedule.

The name of each task/activity shall clearly reflect the scope, output (e.g., deliverable), and place within the Schedule architecture so that the content can be understood without the subproject task structure, if applicable.

Duration Provide the length of time estimated, realized, and/or remaining to accomplish a task/activity. Discrete tasks are preferred to be 42 work days or less.

Baseline Dates and Information

For all tasks within the performance measurement baseline (PMB), baseline dates in the SPD and Native Schedule files shall be consistent with the start and finish of the cost baseline in the CPD at the control account (or work package) level. The baseline is typically set equal to the current schedule early dates at the time of the baseline establishment when change control is initiated.

Control Account/Work Package Identification

Tasks in the schedule shall be tagged with a control account and work package as appropriate. This is accomplished by using the corresponding ControlAccountID and WorkPackageID fields in the Task table of the SPD. The SPD shall be consistent with the CA and WP definitions within the CPD. As a minimum, the ControlAccountID values shall be consistent with the ID tags as defined in the ControlAccount table and the Task table of the SPD shall be consistent with the work package definitions.

Level of Effort

(LOE)

Level of effort (LOE) activities may be included or excluded in the network, as appropriate. This determination should be made based on standard procedures.

LOE activities shall not impact discrete work or the calculation of the critical and driving paths and never drive paths. When LOE activities are included within the IMS, they are clearly identified as such and defined in the Data Dictionary.

Check the L1 Series CM tool Server at https://ipdtdms.gsfc nasa.gov/ to verify that this is the correct version prior to use.

Schedule Percent Complete

The calculated schedule percent complete is a time-based status calculated by the schedule tool without regard to task/activity scope accomplishment. This is not used to status budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP) (i.e., depicts the “time” percent complete based on the forecast completion date, not earned value percent complete based on work accomplished). Earned Value % complete when used, will be in the physical % complete field.

Earned Value Technique

The Earned Value Technique (EVT) used for planning and statusing the EV Tool can, as needed, be identified with the Schedule Performance Dataset (SPD). The EVT for each task is identified within the SPD and if LOE tasks are included withing the schedule then they shall be identified using the appropriate EVT tag.

Total Float/Slack Provide the amount of time a task/activity or milestone forecast finish date can slip before delaying contract completion or constraint date.

Free Float/Free Slack Provide the amount of time a task/activity or milestone can slip before it delays any of its successor tasks/activities or milestones.

Driving Path The driving path is the longest continuous sequence chain of incomplete discrete tasks/activities/milestones and, if present, parallel chains in the schedule network that drive the forecast dates of the agreed to discrete task/activity or milestone. A driving path may or may not be on the IMS critical path

Critical Path A sequence of discrete work packages and planning packages (or lower level tasks/activities) in the IMS that has the longest total duration with the least amount of total float/slack through an end point.

Subcontractor Tasks Identify the tasks that are unique to the scope of a major subcontractor, if any. The subcontractor discrete work will be incorporated as tasks within the contractor IMS at a level necessary…
