CoDR Scope Definition, Objectives & Agenda Jodrell Bank Tim Stevenson SPDO System Engineer

2. Scope & Objectives
The review will consider whether the first order solutions that have been identified are indeed appropriate and will ensure that agreement is reached on the option(s) to be carried forward
The aim of the Signal & Transport CoDR is to confirm that the ‘problem’ has been thoroughly explored and is well understood
The desired outcome is a (perhaps conditional) release of the next phase of activity

4. The Review Panel is requested to consider the following questions:
1. Are the requirements complete, and sufficiently defined for this stage of the project?
2. At the concept level, is the element/subsystem presented capable of meeting the requirements?
3. Has interfaces to other aspects of the system have adequately identified and defined at this stage of the program?
4. Are the options proposed to be carried forward credible and are the presented data and information in support of each option credible?
5. Have all the necessary aspects of the specific element/subsystem been considered and addressed during the review or are there gaps and/or shortcomings?
6. Does the risk profile appear reasonably detailed and assessed for this stage of the program?
7. Do the stated risk controls and proposed mitigations appear reasonable and executable?
8. Is the overall plan (including the identification of the tasks, effort, resources, costs, schedule and risk mitigation needed) to complete the subsequent project phases credible?
