2. CATIA V4 Software Deployment ] Project Proposal
Background Project Goals Problem / Opportunity Resolution Proposal Recommendation and Summary
Topics for discussion
Ask questions be held until the end of presentation and thank audience

3. Background
Dassault Systems produces CATIA V4 software Code. ABC Aircraft Manufacturing Company XXX Airplane Program is the next new airplane to be build . XXX New Airplane Program requirement request - capability to release engineering CAD/CAM drawings with CATIA V4 Code. Engineering release date May 3rd, 2011 Software Life Cycle Development and implementation target timeframe is approximately 9 – 12 months
Looking for Management Teams approval to move forward with CATIA V4 Deployment Plans

4. Project Goals
Develop rigorous risk assessment processes to gain understanding of software known and unknown risk Identify key software risk categories (i.e. change management, configuration management) early stages to reduce risk and impacts. Reduce cost impacts associated with software risk. Deliver software quality products to customers. Avoid schedule delays and eliminate risk to timely delivery of CATIA V4 software product.

5. Problem / Opportunity
CATIA V4 Software (S/W) is a new product which has never been released into ABC infrastructure. Potential Cost budget overruns Schedule delays due to unknown risk and impacts. Decreased Software product quality Delayed Airplane deliveries to Airline Customers
XXX company constantly faced with the impacts of known and unknown risk during software deployment projects

6. Proposed Solution
Successful CATIA V4 Software implementation SEI Taxonomy Based Questionnaire (TBQ). Software Life Cycle Development Best Practices are documented and followed. 3D CAD/CAM parts, assemblies, and installations capability available on distributed workstations. Increase airplane sales and revenue gains
CATIA V4 S/W implemented on time, under budget and quality product will be delivery to XXX Aircraft Program, engineers and manufacturing customers.
SEI TBQ used to identify key risk areas, risk management and mitigation plans.
The ability to build three dimension Computer Aid Design / Computer Aid Manufactured

7. Scope
ABC Airplane Manufacturing Company increased sales and revenues CATIA V4 software implemented in production for XXX New Airplane Program Engineering and Manufacturing Engineers Planning on line 3D Drawings 3D (Dimensional Views) CAD/CAM Released Drawings using CATIA V4

8. Quality
Total Quality Assurance (TQA) Policy and Procedures Continuous Process Improvements (CPI) Software Engineering Institute Taxonomy Questionnaire and Survey Results Lean Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to be used on all key processes
TQA organization standards, policies and procedures to be used
Regular CPI as required
VSM Current and Future State processes to be document and best practices followed
SEI Taxonomy Questionnaire and survey results to be used to eliminate risk and impacts to V4

9. Budget Cost (estimate)
Cost Categories
Amount
Note: cost figures are estimates and not completely accurate.
Internal Labor hours

13. Recommendations Core Planning Team Recommends
CATIA V4 Deployment Target date March 15, 2011
CATIA V4 Developer and System Analyst Training
Escalation boards established immediately
Management Committee buyoff and approval
Core Planning Team recommend
Target Implementation date of 3/15/2011 to meet customer request.
immediately start training for developers and system analyst
Escalation team, processes need to be setup asap
Management Approval to proceed
