Title: Integrated Master Plan IMP
1Integrated Master Plan (IMP)
2Government Roadmap
Government Roadmap for JLTV Technology
Development Phase
- Big Picture view of program
- Shows key events, capabilities evolution,
schedule, constraints - Supports POM helps fight budget cuts
- Shows key schedule interfaces with supporting
programs/activities/contracts - Provides Metrics
- Becomes framework for program IMP/IMS
- Review regularly with all the players
- Communication Tool - Progress, problems, and
heading check - Update government roadmap as required with IMS
IMP/IMS must be consistent with Government roadmap
3IMP IMS Overview
- Integrated Master Schedule
- (IMS)
- Task and Calendar based Schedule
- Level of detail necessary for day-to-day
execution.
- Integrated Master Plan
- (IMP)
- Event Based Plan
- Relatively top level
4IMP Philosophy Purpose
- Establishes the baseline execution plan for the
program. - Defines hierarchical, Event-based plan that
contains - Events (Level 1)
- Accomplishments (Level 2)
- Criteria (Level 3)
- But no dates or durations
- Provides
- Definition for program progress and completion
tracking - Effective communication program content
agreement - What and How of program
Valuable tool for program execution
5IMS Philosophy Purpose
- Flows directly from IMP, w/added detail (Tasks)
- Networked, detailed tasks necessary to support
the events, accomplishments, and criteria of the
IMP. - Displays schedule status and Critical Path
Early Warning - Enables what if schedule exercises
- Defines Dates and durations
- Provides
- Cost/Schedule integrity via WBS SOW
traceability - Earned Value Management System (EVMS) consistency
- Ability to sort schedules multiple ways (e.g.,
Event, Integrated Product Team (IPT), or WBS) - Expands on how and provides when for execution
Valuable tool to communicate status and risk
6Events
TD-CDR
- Logically sequenced points to assess program
progress - Level 1 of IMP - DoD reviews (e.g., Milestone A)
- Program reviews (e.g., design, production
readiness, and supportability reviews) - Tests, deliveries, and other key progress
demonstration or risk mitigation points
Events are the foundation of the plan
7Accomplishments
Detailed Design Complete for all JLTV
Sub-Configurations
- Activities or steps whose completion indicates
progress toward starting or completing an event -
Level 2 of IMP - Might include
- Deliveries of systems/subsystems
- Completion of integration activities
- Completion of readiness reviews
8Criteria
- Definitive measures/indicators that verify
accomplishment completion - Level 3 of IMP - Completed work effort
- e.g., Modeling and Simulation Plan Completed
- Confirmation of performance compliance
- e.g., Cross Domain Approach Approved
- Results of incremental verification
- e.g., Prototype Vehicle Inspection Record
Finalized - Completed critical process activities
- e.g., Risk Management Plan Finalized
9The IMP IMS is used...
- Used by Government
- Communicate program to Stakeholders
- Primary tools for validating progress
- During Source Selection to determine proposal
confidence - To assess earned-value metrics
- Used by Contractor
- Tool to help manage program
- Aids in program planning re-planning
- Allows measurement of program progress
- Helps to manage risk identification/mitigation
- Allows communication to show
- What will be delivered
- When it will be delivered
10Government/Contractor IMP
- JLTV Government IMP
- Section C of the JLTV contract was the basis.
- Centered around the Technical Design reviews to
drive an Event Based program. - Cross-functional, foundational document that
drives the Program Management and IPT actions and
deliverables. - JTLV Contractor IMP
- A detailed IMP that supports the Government IMP.
- Government IMP is a minimum set of requirements
for each event. - Cross-functional, foundational document that
drives the Program Management and IPT actions and
deliverables. - Sets directional focus of IPT and tracks its
progress. - A final Integrated Master Plan is due at IBR, and
updated as applicable at PDR, CDR, and TRR.
11Government IMP Example
Event
Level 1 of IMP
Accomplishment
Level 2 of IMP
Criteria
Level 3 of IMP
The Owner is the IPT within the Government who
is responsible for supporting the completion of
that Criteria.
