4. ICRP Recommendations (1) Baseline Funding – NASA did not establish an adequate cost and schedule baseline at JWST’s Confirmation Review milestone, and recommended four specific steps be taken to establish a realistic baseline. 4AAS 217th Meeting

5. ICRP Recommendations (2) Independent Analysis Capability – NASA Headquarters should have a robust independent cost and program analysis capability, and recommended a stronger role for the Office of Independent Program and Cost Evaluation (IPCE). 5AAS 217th Meeting

6. ICRP Recommendations (3) Program and Project Management – Recommended that JWST be elevated to a new organizational entity at Headquarters – Implementation phase of JWST project requires a different management approach than the Formulation phase 6AAS 217th Meeting
