3.0 Cost Management Plan

Introduction

The Gauchito Rocket Project Cost Management Plan covers defining cost estimates, creating the cost baseline, and managing the cost of the project. Because the project is of short duration, requiring intense workloads during the schedule in order to produce the deliverables, cost will be critical to manage and to control in order to meet the definitive budget.

The overall labor estimate is $19,950.

The estimated at completion (EAC) is $50,150 for the 10-week schedule. The EAC includes all direct labor costs, as well as material and equipment costs. The details of cost management for the Gauchito project are covered below.

1. Equipment and custom parts

2. Equipment and material order dates

3. Precision formats

4. How the cost estimate is developed

5. Precision formats

6. Personnel usage by time period labor expenditure on the project (Reference Appendix E)

7. How cost baseline and budget was developed (Reference Appendix H)

8. Identify when personnel are utilized and differences with the cost budget

9. Reporting formats for cost management

10. Cost control and managing process

11. Cost constraints

12. Cost assumptions

The constraints and assumptions are specific to cost management of the project. The overall project constraints and assumptions also apply to cost management.

Equipment and Custom Parts

The Gauchito project requires a complete rocket assembly and specialty hybrid engines. These parts must be purchased and on-site no later than the Friday before the project start date to ensure work can start on schedule. The risk management plan addresses response if some material and equipment is not received by that date. For example, if the paint is not received, it would have no cost impact because it is not used at project start, and it can be reordered and delivered before it is needed. The previous order would be cancelled so double charges are not incurred.

The cost for materials, equipment, and custom parts is included in the first week, as shown in the cost baseline in Appendix H, page 125. A breakout is shown below.

Item	Cost	Purchase Date
Rocket Assembly – all standard rocket components, including rocket engine wadding, parachute, nose cone, and rocket body	$15,000	Due at project start
Hybrid Engines – A3-4T (4 @ $2,500 each)	$10,000*	Due at project start
Delivery costs	$125
Materials as specified in the assembly construction plan, including pens, pencils, glue, scissors, engine wadding, paint, tape measure, string, sandpaper, and modeling knife	$5,000	Due at project start

* The original cost estimates included the hybrid engines, but the cost increased after procurement evaluation and determining the actual cost. The difference is $5,000 between the scope estimated budget and the cost baseline provided in this plan.

Equipment and Material Order Dates

All equipment, including the specialty hybrid engines, is to be ordered at least 12 days prior to project start. The hybrid engines are not required until the last week of the project. However, in order to validate compatibility with the rocket, they are due at the same time as other materials and equipment, the week before project start.

The project plan and cost approval will include authorization to order the equipment before project start and allocate funds to the materials and equipment. Though the material and equipment will be ordered prior to project start, they are not allocated to the baseline until after receipt, so they are applied to the cost expenditures for the first week of the project. They are included in the overall EAC.

3.1 Precision Formats

3.1.1 Cost estimation for WBS by skill set:

· The cost estimates are in whole hours, rounded to the nearest hour.

· The labor rates are rounded to the nearest $5.00 increment and are shown at the bottom of the cost estimate spreadsheet.

3.1.2 Baseline budget and EAC:

· The material and equipment cost is rounded up to the nearest $100.00.

· The labor rate for employees is a blended rate.

· The costs are reflected by week plus cumulative for all weeks to calculate the EAC.

3.2 How the Cost Estimate is Developed

The Gauchito project manager and team members met to review the product description, project charter, and preliminary scope statement. These documents provided an overall definition of the goal, the deliverables, initial rough order cost and budget estimates, and the project time frame.

The team reviewed the work breakdown structure, initial staffing resource needs, scheduled durations for each deliverable, milestones, and the target budget. These detailed data provided the basis upon which to refine resources needed for each WBS work package and to define costs for each type of resource skill set (e.g., fitters for the project).

In order to arrive at a complete cost estimate, the project manager and team met with subject matter experts (SMEs) for each of the disciplines (e.g., fitters, draftsmen, and other skill types). This proved invaluable in defining the activities needed to accomplish each work package task, if it was not predefined. The SMEs and project team reviewed the Gauchito Rocket Construction Plan (in Appendix C) as a reference to ensure all activities were included for cost estimation.

In addition, the project manager reviewed existing cost estimates for the previously concluded Generic Estes project. While that project was not of the same size and scope of the Gauchito project, it provided useful cost information and lessons learned for the cost estimates.

The project manager gathered the estimation of time, in man-hours, needed by each skill set to complete each work package. The total time for each deliverable, and for all deliverables, was calculated, as well as total time for each skill set (e.g., fitter). The hourly rate for each skill set was applied to the resource time estimates to arrive at the total project labor cost.

No overhead resources were included in the cost estimate. Though the duration estimate number of hours includes “dummy” time for drying the glue, it is not included in any cost estimates.

Personnel Usage by Time Period Labor Expenditure On Project

Appendix C shows the personnel skill set needed for the project and when they will be used on the project. The resource skill sets and time estimates for each are applied to each WBS work package. This duration estimate is part of the cost estimate spreadsheet.

Duration smoothing was not applied because the tasks are so well defined, and SST has previous experience form the Generic Estes project. No optimistic schedule was determined. A consideration for a pessimistic schedule was that the new hybrid engines are unknown technology in conjunction with the standard rocket kit assembly. However, the team determined that the task would take no more time than installing standard rockets.

3.3 How the Cost Baseline and Budget is Developed

The total labor costs from the duration and cost estimate chart, and the material and equipment costs, were input to create the cost baseline and budget. Labor costs: The total costs from the cost estimation results—the personnel by WBS work package—have been input as part of the development of the budget and cost baseline. The resource requirements for each week were determined using resource staffing information per the staffing management plan. The resources needed to complete the work packages scheduled for the week have been input to the spend plan and total costs applied to the week based on blended labor rates. The labor cost was based upon a blended rate of $35 per hour for employees. The contracted labor cost was based upon a rate of $50 per hour. The total labor cost is reflected in the appendices.

All cost of material and equipment is included in the baseline. The materials and equipment costs have been provided per the procurement management plan and will be purchased for delivery the week before project start. Therefore, those costs are reflected during the first week of the project. The difference from the preliminary budget is $5,000. However, there is no difference between the definitive budget and cost baseline because the costs are included.

The baseline budget EAC is targeted to within –5% and +10 of the budget at completion (BAC).

Identify When Personnel Are Utilized and Differences with the Cost Budget

The baseline is in Appendix H. The baseline is shown in increments by time period reporting, which is weekly, showing the labor costs per each week as well as the material and equipment cost per week.

The costs are reflected in an S-curve chart showing the cumulative budgeted costs weekly and showing the total budgeted cost, EAC.

The spend plan for personnel is shown in Appendix H as part of the input to creating the cost baseline and budget. The input to the spend plan is the duration estimates and costs applied to each resource type, along with the schedule. The cost is shown weekly for each resource needed to complete the work scheduled for that week.

The differences between the spend plan costs and the original cost budget estimates reflect a slight increase due to expert evaluation of the amount of time needed to complete each task.

Reporting Formats for Cost Reports

The project manager will report weekly on cost and schedule status for the previous week. The report will be distributed to SST executive management, the sponsor, finance, De Leon and Associates customer contacts, and functional managers with staff assigned to the project. The report will be briefed at the weekly project meeting. These costs are based on the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS) in the baseline cost in Appendix H. An example report format follows, and it will use earned value management to provide actual costs and work performed against the BCWS (the planned value [PV]). The BCWS/baseline costs, the actual costs, and the cost of amount of work performed will be plotted on the S-curve chart, similar to the graphic shown. The amount of work performed may reflect either a deliverable or the WBS tasks that should have been completed in support of a deliverable. The cost variance (earned value – actual cost) and the schedule variance (earned value – planned value) are included, along with explanations for the variance.

3.5 Cost Control

The project manager will use the weekly time reporting and rollup costs reported for each account/WBS to total the amount spent for the week. This amount will be calculated into the actual costs for the week. The project manager will use the weekly status reports to determine which deliverables and work packages were completed.

If the labor actual cost exceeds the value of the work completed, compared to the cost baseline, the project manager will determine reasons for the difference. For example, if Deliverable 1 is completed during Week 1 of the project, with an earned value of $1,000, and the actual labor costs for the week total $1,200, the variance is negative $200. One reason may be that tasks in the work packages scheduled for Week 1 took longer than expected due to unforeseen problems.

One area to examine is to ensure that additional work was not performed. If problems arose, then the project team will identify those problem areas and a course of action to see if the time can be made up and if costs will not increase. This is especially critical if the problem could occur in future work packages for the project.

If the earned value for Deliverable 1 completed in Week 1 is $1,000, and the planned value was to be $1,200, then there is a negative $200 in schedule. This means some tasks may be behind schedule. The project manager will use the same approach as for cost variances in determining root cause and course of action.

All changes to scope, schedule, contracts, or purchases will follow the overall change control process outlined in the scope management plan. Proposed changes will be presented to the configuration control board, along with the associated cost changes to the baseline cost.

If costs are increased due to finding that the tasks take longer than expected, the project manager and contracts/procurement management will determine a course of action based on the contract type. The project manager will consult with functional managers to define alternate approaches.

As approved changes occur, updates will be applied to the cost estimates, personnel usage, and material and equipment changes. The project manager will revise the baseline with a new EAC, as well as revise this cost management plan. The changes will be applied to other impacted plans as necessary.

To enable the project manager to track costs and changes, corporate databases for time reporting, issues, and risks will be used. In addition, standard corporate guidelines for cost accounting, procurement, contracts, and earned value management will be followed.

Cost Constraints

1. The fitter positions will be outsourced. This increases the labor rates to contractor rates, used in cost estimation.

2. The Memorial Day and Independence Day holidays fall within the project start/finish dates.

Cost Assumptions

1. Labor is calculated based on man-hour rates.

2. Labor rates have been provided as static for this project. No increases are planned in the 10-week project time frame. The blended rate used is standard across the corporation. Contractor labor rates are negotiated per the outsourcing contract and are static for the project's duration.

3. No overtime hours and rates for resources are included in the cost estimates.

4. No cost estimates are applied for Memorial Day and Independence Day. Fitters are not paid for that day, and employee time off is part of overhead costs.

4.0 Quality Management Plan

4.1 Project Quality Plan Purpose

The purpose of this plan is to ensure that the rocket is built to the specifications set by the customer. Customer satisfaction with the workmanship, cost, and final delivery of the final product is key to achieving the goal of follow-on work of future contracts.

Quality Management Method

The construction material used for this project has been handpicked by the customer. It will only be inspected for damage that may have occurred during shipping. The construction processes have also been written by the customer. Quality for this project will only consist of ensuring that the construction processes have been followed and whether there is any room for improvement.

4.2 Quality Plan Processes

Quality Assurance

It is the policy of Space Systems Technology (SST) and its elements to develop, integrate, and implement QA and QC practices to assure delivery of quality products and services that meet or exceed customer needs and expectations in accordance with applicable laws, policies, technical criteria, schedules, and budgets. Adherence to quality principles and established QA and QC practices is integral to the roles and responsibilities of all SST’s elements and functions.

Quality standards have been set by the customer in the kit assembly directions given to the Gauchito rocket project team. The QA team will inspect each deliverable as milestones are reached. Checklists will be developed using the kit directions for each station assembling a section of the rocket. The checklist will simply ensure each step in the assembly process is done in accordance with the customer’s instructions.

Quality Control

The checklists at each station will be picked up by the QA team during the inspection of the deliverable and given to the customer with training documentation.

Project Overview

This project will address design consideration of the Gauchito rocket. The rocket’s design, launch, and test results can be observed using a 7/8 scale of the full-sized rocket. This approach provides a valid measurement of the rocket’s success without the time and expense necessary to build a full-sized rocket. This will also help in the identification, mitigation, and avoidance of risk to the space development program. This project is being undertaken to show that our company has the ability to produce a reliable test product that accurately duplicates the final full-sized rocket. To do this, we will deliver the completed 7/8 scale rocket 3 days after the assembly is completed to Peterson AFB test launch site.

See appendix for WBS, schedule, risks, and cost.

Quality Standards

Rocket parts included in the kit have been inspected. These parts are of acceptable quality and grade for this project. The 4 solid fuel rockets being installed on the 7/8th scaled rocket have been engineered and tested to produce similar thrust as the 4 hybrid engines on the full-scale rocket.

Quality Tools

Audits of all deliverables will be made by a QA team member. Checklists will be verified and signed by the fitter, draftsman, gluer, or sander. The checklist will be verified and signed by the QA team member and turned over to the customer with the training documentation.

Quality Manager’s Responsibilities

Thomas Jones has been assigned quality manager and has the responsibility for:

· Specifying how the quality assurance processes should be applied

· Specifying how the quality control procedures should be applied

· Specifying the continuous process improvement for the project

· Defining criteria for the effective execution of key project activities, processes, and deliverables

· Defining quality management responsibilities for the project

· Identifying or including any checklists or templates that should be used by project team members

· Defining how the project will be audited to ensure compliance with the quality management plan

Project Quality Assurance

Quality assurance helps to establish if a deliverable is acceptable based on the processes used to create it. Quality assurance processes are used to evaluate overall project performance frequently and to determine that quality reviews were held, deliverables tested, and customer acceptance acquired.

Quality Assurance Procedures

Quality has been designed into the product. All of the parts used in this rocket project have been handpicked by the customer for the 7/8th scaled rocket. Although the assembly procedures were written by the customer, they will be monitored by QA team members looking for ways to improve the process of gluing, sanding, and painting through the use of better tools or material. Staff and subcontractors with knowledge of the processes being used will be asked for recommendations for improvement on the checklists.

Subcontract Fitters—Three of the top fitter contracting companies in the local area have been judged on their previous job performances. The local fitters union has been found to have a reputation for good, reliable work with exceptional employees.

Contractor	Reliability %	Work Quality	Mistakes
Local Fitters Union	100	100	0
ACME Fitters	40	60	25
Fitters-R-Us	25	65	25

Project Monitoring Processes

A checklist will be marked off for each of the measurable steps in the construction process. These checklists will be signed off by one of the staff or subcontracted fitters and a QA team member. This will ensure that all steps in the construction process were followed. Staff and subcontractors with knowledge of the processes being used will be asked for recommendations for improvement on the checklists. These recommendations will be passed to management and the customer for consideration in improving the construction of the full-scale rocket.

6.0 Communications Management Plan

6.1 Effective communication, internally and externally, is the most overlooked resource in the project management arena. As we delve into yet another project, this will not become a stumbling block for SST. We are not reinventing the wheel; we will continue to communicate in a manner that has been proven to work in support of other projects. The following listed procedures have been designed to build communication at all levels and to ease the supporting processes while continuing to capitalize on its inherent benefit.

6.2 The project manager is responsible for disseminating any and all information to concerned parties. This responsibility includes information of the type indicated in the following chart as well as other information deemed pertinent by any interested party. Items not covered in this chart (Enclosure II) will, at a minimum, be posted in the Gauchito project website daily (by close of business). Note: The project secretary will post weekly status meeting minutes to the company Gauchito project website weekly. 6.3 Information becomes such when it is inclusive of the components who, what, when, where, why, and how; effective communication includes these components and addresses the specific subject of interest. Information communicated about this or any project will be as detailed as possible initially and will be followed up in writing or in an email to all concerned parties. Any input, as a contributor to the successful outcome of this project, will be welcomed.

6.4 When seeking answers or addressing concerns, a response in writing will be provided to the initiating party within 24 hours (work hours). If this time frame is violated or is not sufficient, escalation will follow the below-listed path: a. Functional department manager b. Project manager c. Project sponsor NOTE: Information will not be communicated directly to the customer except through the personnel listed above. Escalation to any of the above-listed parties will be in writing or through email. Additionally, a copy of this correspondence must be maintained by the initiating party.

6.5 The following chart, shown as Enclosure I, is a guide to be used in support of this communications plan; concerned parties have been broken into teams to ensure that information flows are consistent with the needs of both stakeholders and management. This list may not be inclusive, and provisions for the update of it, Enclosure II, or this communications plan are detailed in the paragraph below. 6.6 Organizational feedback is always welcome. As DLE strives to satisfy the needs of both its customer and employees, concerned individuals should feel free to offer suggestions for improvement, update, or refinement of this or any other policies. Requests for modification of this plan or communication chart(s) will be voiced in writing through the hierarchal structure as specified above. Failure to comply with this minimal communication guidance will result in disciplinary action or termination.

7.0 Risk Management Plan

After holding a risk planning meeting, the Gauchito rocket project team focused on all the of the possible project risks and their ramifications and determined that it would be imperative to seek out a risk management plan in order to prepare for risk events and lay out mitigation plans for the risks that seemed the most likely to affect the project’s scope, quality, or schedule.

7.1 Methodology

The Gauchito project team determined that the best way to approach risk determination and

definition would be to bring the entire team together, including all of the individuals of the various skill sets involved in project construction, and brainstorm. It seemed using everyone’s ideas and narrowing the risk events down from there was the most accurate way to determine all of the risks involved from every perspective of this project. Data from previous projects completed by the SST team members were used as input to risk definition.

7.2 Roles and Responsibilities

It was decided among the project team that the roles and responsibilities would be laid out as shown in

the appendix titled Risk, Roles, and Responsibilities. The bulk of the responsibility will be placed on the project manager, as this person has the authority within the team to approve or deny any mitigation plans that are developed as well as the authority to alter the scope statement, the budget, or the quality plan as may be required if any of the determined risk events occurs.

7.3 Budgeting

The Gauchito rocket project team discussed the budget and what effects there would be, if any,

according to each risk event. It was determined that while certain risks could have an effect on the schedule and quality of the project, corrective costs would be negligible unless the risk event went unnoticed and thus uncorrected for an extended time period. Therefore, the project manager, along with the cost and risk managers, determined it would be feasible to allocate roughly 10% of the budget to risk management and mitigation. This percentage will be reevaluated weekly for the life of the project, but it is not necessary to “re-baseline” for this project.

7.4 Timing

After conferring with the rest of the project team, the risk manager, along with the other team managers,

attempted to determine precisely how critically the project schedule might be affected should any of the risk events occur. It was determined that, with the mitigation plans that were approved by the project manager, the schedule would take a minimal hit if any one event occurred. Buffers were already written into the schedule should any unforeseen overtures occur, in order to prevent the project going past its scheduled end date, and the team feels these buffers will be appropriate for the risk management plan; rewriting the project schedule will be unnecessary.

7.5 Risk Categories

It seemed most appropriate, according to the Gauchito rocket project team, to categorize the risks by

the three major constraints of any project. These three constraints are, of course, cost, quality, and schedule. The reasons for selecting these three particular categories are as follows: cost, as any risk event that occurs, will inevitably affect the project’s budget in some form or another; quality, because it often happens that in order to mitigate a risk event or alter a project plan after an unexpected risk occurs that effects cost or schedule, time and money have to be reallocated, and that often alters the quality of a product; and schedule, due to the fact that many risk events on any project alter the schedule in some way or other, be it a large or small change.

7.6 Definition of Risk Probability and Impact

After careful consideration and collaboration among all of the plan managers on the project, it

was determined that a project of this scale needed impact and probably measurements to signify low, moderate, and high. Very low and very high were deemed unnecessary. Numeric values were assigned to each of these levels as follows:

Probability –

Low / 0.05

Medium / 0.1

High / 0.5

Impact –

Low / 0.1

Medium / 0.3

High / 0.5

The determined risk events were scored on their probability and impact in a risk assessment table, prior to being placed into the Probability Impact Matrix. The total ratings in the table, which were determined by taking probability multiplied by impact, can be used to determine the organization’s sensitivity to each risk event listed.

Activity		Probability of Risk	Magnitude of Damage	Planned Action
	Rank	Low/0.05	Med./0.1	High/0.5	Low/0.1	Med./ 0.3	High/0.5	Total Rating	Type of Action
Key personnel unavailable	3		X				X	0.05	Ensure contractors are available if necessary
Delayed delivery of materials and equipment	1		X				X	0.05	Make delivery a requirement in supplier contracts
Weather	5		X		X			0.01	Change schedule if necessary
Materials shortages	4	X				X		0.03	Contract with current supplier and identify alternate suppliers if needed
Damage to original parts provided in kit	2	X				X		0.03	Insurance and liability waiver

Revised Stakeholder Tolerances

After determining the risk categories, the specific risk events, their probability and impact,

and their total ratings, all of this information was put together and brought before the project sponsor for approval before it was presented to the primary stakeholders. The risk events were laid out before the project stakeholders, as well as the mitigation plans that had been approved for each event. After careful consideration and discussions between themselves, the project sponsor, and the project manager, the primary stakeholders informed the PM that they would tolerate the risk events as they were laid out and were more than willing to allow SST to continue with the project. The stakeholder tolerances did not have to be altered in this instance, but as the project is monitored for risks, the stakeholders will be kept abreast of any changes; should their risk tolerance change, it will be documented for this project and for future reference.

7.7 Reporting Formats for Risk Register

The risk register, as shown in the example below, lays out the definition of the risk, what category it

fits into, the root cause of the risk event (if the root cause has been determined and is relevant to the project), the triggers for the risk, and how SST will respond to the risk event. There will be weekly quality assessments, and at this time the risk manager will go along with the quality manager, and the RM will be assessing the progress of the project and any occurrences that could be considered a risk. The assessments, as well as any and all reports from the construction staff and/or the functional managers, will all be used to determine risk occurrences, which will all go into the register, be they big or small.

Risk Register Project Revision: Date:
Risk #	Risk Description	Risk Root Cause	Risk Category	Trigger	Risk Response
1
2
3
4

7.8 Tracking

It is imperative that any risk events be tracked throughout the life of this project, be they big or small,

as a small risk is likely to become a big risk and a detriment to the project if it goes unchecked for a length of time. As this information can be important to any member of the project, it needs to be easily accessible; therefore, each plan manager, as well as the project manager, has copies of the risk register and the weekly assessments available for viewing upon request.

8.0 Procurement Management Plan

8.1 Contract Types

There are several different contracts to choose from, so it was left to the procurement manager to determine what contracts would be the most beneficial for the Gauchito rocket project team, in order to ensure that all necessary materials and equipment were delivered in a timely fashion without it becoming a huge expense to the organization. The procurement manager, after discussing all of the materials and equipment to be purchased, determined that the best form of contract to use for materials and equipment (M&E) purchases was firm fixed price.

These contracts were entered into with a clear understanding that all of the M&E purchased was to be delivered no later than a week prior to the project start. This was agreed upon by the organization and the suppliers, and the legal documents were filed with legal, with copies being distributed to the project manager, the project sponsor, and a copy to go on file in the procurement office.

There was also a need to outsource the fitters for this project, as that skill set is no longer available on-staff within the organization. After a discussion with HR and using the quality manager’s research, it was determined that the fitters would be contracted from the local fitter’s union. This means that contracts will be drawn up specifying their pay per hour, their breaks and lunches, and all other requirements necessary to meet union requirements. Because these fitters are unionized and will have a specific hourly wage for their skill set and experience, it was decided that a fixed-price contract would be best in this instance as well. The fitters will receive their hourly wages and that will be all, as there will not be any overtime or extraneous costs where the outsourced staff is involved.

8.2 Uses of Organizational Procurement, Contracting, or Purchasing Departments

The procurement manager, along with the rest of the procurement department, was responsible for

determining which suppliers to contact, drawing up all of the requests for proposals (RFPs), creating the benchmark to determine the best supplier to meet the project team’s needs, determining what types of contracts to enter into with suppliers, and managing those contracts throughout the life of this project.

8.3 Standardized Procurement Documents

There are several forms of standardized documents used in procurement, many of which were

used for this project. These documents include the firm fixed-price contracts entered into with the suppliers, the requests for proposal sent out to several suppliers, and the benchmark.

8.4 Constraints and Assumptions

There are a number of constraints and assumptions that have to be considered with any project,

and this one is no exception. The assumptions and constraints for this project are as follows:

Constraints:

· There are no available fitters within the organization.

· Trained fitters have to be outsourced for this project.

· Delayed delivery of materials and/or equipment will result in a schedule delay.

Assumptions:

· The materials and equipment will arrive one week prior to project start date.

· All necessary personnel will be available at the time of the project start.

· The contracts will be followed as written without any delays or difficulties.

8.5 Purchase and Acquisition Lead Times

The suppliers for all of the necessary materials and equipment are in the United States and provide

rush delivery, but that is no reason to delay the purchase of the necessary M&E. It was determined that the wisest time to place the purchase orders was 12 days prior to project start to ensure that the suppliers had the necessary materials and equipment in stock and ready to ship in order to ensure it all arrived promptly on the designated delivery date.

8.6 Types of Warranties

It was clearly stated upon the purchase of the materials and equipment necessary for this project

that everything came with a manufacturer warranty, and the stakeholders and project sponsor all deemed these warranties sufficient for this project because this rocket is a test product and will not be used repeatedly, but rather for data gathering.

8.7 Probability and Impact Matrix

Probability and Impact Matrix
Probability
0.5
0.1	Risk 5		Risk 1 Risk 3
0.01		Risk 2 Risk 4
Impact	0.1	0.3	0.5
	= High-Level Risk—Resolve immediately
	= Moderate Risk—Track through the life of the project
	= Minimal Risk—Be aware of it, but no tracking necessary

Benchmark

Product Description

Project Name: Ansari X Prize Gauchito Rocket Date: May 8, 2006

Project Overview:

Pablo de Leon and Associates is continuing the concept of scaled rocket validation by requesting the construction of a 7/8 scale of the Delta II rocket. The first company that completes construction of a rocket that meets the requirements will win the competition.

Rocket Components and Steps:

The components of the rocket will be built following the steps in the provided construction plan. The steps are below.

01-Assembling of the Engine Mount

02-Fin Preparation

03-Marking of Fin and Lug Lines

04-Insertion of Engine Mount

05-Fin Attachment

06-Shock Cord Attachment

07-Nose Cone Assembly

08-Parachute and Shock Cord Attachment

09-Launch Lug Attachment

10-Paint the Rocket

11-Decal Application

12-Clear Coat Application

13-Display Nozzle Assembly

14-Rocket Pre-Flight

15-Prepare for Rocket Test Launch

Specific Product Specifications:

The Gauchito rocket will be built according to the following specifications:

1. 7/8 scale model of the planned full-size rocket the Delta II.

2. The rocket will be assembled with materials and equipment in the assembly kit. All rocket components in the construction kit will be assembled as part of the rocket or launch setup.

3. Recommended hybrid engines are as follows: 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, A10-3T to replace the standard engines in the construction kit. The construction company will select the best engine to meet the performance requirements.

4. Length = 39.37 ft, Diameter = 7.28 ft, GTOW 17,637 lb, DRY WT 5291 lb.

Performance: The Gauchito rocket performance will be based upon the following.

1. Reaching a launch altitude of 67 miles in less than 17 seconds total flying time.

2. Total thrust of 52,910 pounds.

3. The maximum speed capable of being reached is 2,684 mph, and it will be part of metrics gathered during test. It is not a determination in measuring if the rocket performance is acceptable. It is, however, a factor in obtaining the launch altitude specified. A reduced speed may make the rocket incapable of reaching the required altitude.

4. Payload capacity of three crewmembers or 300 kg.

5. Crew environment: Nitrogen-oxygen using pressurized suites in a pure oxygen atmosphere.

Quality:

1. The Gauchito rocket will be built according to all instructions in the construction plan.

APPENDIX C

Preliminary Scope Statement

Gauchito Rocket

Project Name: Ansari X Prize Gauchito Rocket

Project Manager: Julie Davis

Project Tracking Number: PMGT 605-0001 Date: April 19, 2006

Project Justification: This project will address design consideration of the Gauchito rocket. The rocket’s design, launch, and test results can be observed using a 7/8 scale of the full-sized rocket. This approach provides a valid measurement of the rocket’s success without the time and expense necessary to build a full-sized rocket. This will also help in the identification, mitigation, and avoidance of risk to the space development program. This project is being undertaken to show that our company has the ability to produce a reliable test product that accurately duplicates the final full-sized rocket. To do this, we will deliver the completed 7/8 scale rocket 3 days after the assembly is completed to Peterson AFB test launch site.

2. The initial milestones are as follows and can be changed utilizing already implemented change management templates as the project progresses toward completion.

3. Schedule

a. The project goal is to build a working model within three months from project start.

b. The demonstration rocket testing will be scheduled within one week of completion of the model rocket, at the test launch facility. The test launch will be scheduled with an alternate date in case the wind speed is over 10 miles per hour on the target date because high wind speed may negatively impact the rocket success.

c. The preliminary schedule in Appendix I shows milestones for each deliverable, based on the WBS. The schedule will be further refined during project planning, and milestones may be moved, depending on factors such as concurrent work activities.

d. Each resource assigned to the project will provide weekly status reports to include issues.

e. The project manager will provide schedule status to the project sponsor and the customer on a weekly basis, given the project’s short duration.

4. Cost

a. The build of the rocket will be based on an agreed-upon funding of $50,000.

b. The project planning will further refine the preliminary resource and cost estimates provided in Appendix C. This process will use existing templates and procedures. The project manager will provide budget status to the project sponsor and the customer on a weekly basis, given the project’s short duration.

c. Engineering resources assigned to the project will support refining requirements and cost estimates.

5. Quality

a. The scaled composite Gauchito rocket will be a 7/8 scale model of the planned full-sized rocket model.

b. The demonstration rocket will be built to the specifications in the kit, including optional steps, such as fin sanding to optimize performance.

c. All fins available in the kit will be installed, per the fin preparation step, to ensure rocket stability.

d. Quality assurance personnel assigned to the project will prepare a quality assurance plan input to the PM to gather necessary approvals.

e. Quality assurance personnel assigned to the project will examine each individual component produced by a deliverable before attaching each component as part of the rocket. QA will also inspect the rocket prior to launch.

f. Configuration management personnel assigned to the project will support the PM in preparation of a configuration management plan and support the definition of activities for defect correction.

g. Configuration management personnel assigned to the project will maintain a list of issues and resolutions.

h. Risk management personnel assigned to the project will support the PM in preparation of a risk management plan to identify risks, level of risk, and contingencies if the risks should occur.

i. Test personnel assigned to the project will support the PM to provide input to the test plan.

j. The rocket will be launched using the purchased four hybrid rocket engines.

k. The rocket body will remain intact through the test launch, without breaking up before reaching the target altitude, and return safely.

III. Scope Management Issues:

The project scope will be maintained by entering all requirements and work activities into existing program tools for tracking requirements (WBS, scope management plan, project charter, etc.). The activities will meet the project objectives and the contract requirements.

1. Defects:

If defects are identified by QA during construction, they will document and provide the data to the PM. The PM and project team will identify options for correcting the defects and present them, along with the most effective option. Any schedule, cost, risk, and performance impacts will be identified. The change control board (CCB) will approve the corrective action and associated impacts.

The finance personnel assigned to the project will work contract changes as needed due to changes to cost and schedule.

Configuration management will maintain a list of defects and resolutions and CCB minutes.

2. Change requests:

If requests for additional materials or changes in construction vary from those provided in the installation kit, they will complete a change request form and provide it to the PM.

(Note: Changes may be requested due to identifying a better installation technique.)

The request, along with cost, schedule, and risk impacts, will be presented to the CCB for evaluation and approval or denial.

If the change request is approved, the PM will update cost and schedule to incorporate the change. Finance personnel assigned to the project will work contract changes as need due to changes to cost and schedule. Engineering, CM, QA, and risk and technical documentation will be updated accordingly. This includes updates to the kit instructions.

If the change request is denied, no changes will be made to the project scope.

Any additional materials needed due to a change request will be procured by Space Systems Technology (SST) and provided to the project test site.
