GOES-R Series User Readiness Planning and Development May 12, 2004

User Readiness Goals User communities fully ready when GOES-R becomes operational –NOAA Line Offices and programs –Other federal agencies –Non-federal users

Scope User Readiness includes planning, preparation, risk reduction, and training –NESDIS: leads NOAA Line Offices’ programmatic and budget planning Supports other federal agencies planning Provides outreach and coordination with non-federal user communities

Readiness Functions Education and Training Delivery Mechanisms Product Readiness Planning, Budgeting and Reporting

User Readiness WBS

Complexities Diverse user communities with unique operational and programmatic needs Diverse readiness functions to be planned, organized, scheduled and budgeted Comprehensive coordination, monitoring and reporting required

Approach Organize and facilitate planning with extended GOES team –Organize teams and conduct work sessions –Initially top-level requirements planning and analysis –Selected acquisition and implementation items Document and manage “end-to-end” user readiness needs –Document and maintain Integration and Transition Roadmaps –Apply standard program management practices for the Program (e.g., coordination, change management)

Preliminary Schedule Requirements Definition – 2004 –Start documentation of needs for each NOAA Line Office, programs, participating federal agencies and other user groups –Establish Coordination and Change Control mechanisms, and start Preliminary Interface Requirements Documents (IRD) –Develop initial User Readiness budget plan Planning and Coordination – 2005 –Coordinate with participating agencies and users –Integrate and optimize set of IRDs –Develop acquisition strategy and plans –Coordinate budget strategy with Line Offices and programs Prepare for Operational Integration – –Complete key analyses, Interface Control Documents (ICD), and Integration requirements and plans, Operational T&E, Training…
