Historical Timeline for I-MANAGE
- The Business Management Information System
Financial Management (BMIS-FM) contract was
awarded after a competitive bidding process. - Included a live test demonstration by 3 different
bidders. - Contract award based on 557 business/technical
requirements. - The scope of work for this contract included core
financials, budget execution, and financial
reporting. - JFMIP certified software and required hardware to
support. - Optional performance objectives within the
contract included budget formulation, project
management, inventory, property, purchasing,
travel, executive information, acquisition
(procurement), and customer relationship
management.

Germantown with DOE counterparts
BMIS-FM renamed to BMIS Phoenix
BMIS-FM Business Case completed
BMIS-FM RFQ Released
- Contract awarded on September 5, 2000.
- Team IBM resources were assigned to an integrated
project team with federal counterparts from DOE. - Team IBM business partners included Oracle
Consulting, SAIC, Arthur Andersen, and 8A
businesses - IBM RS/6000 hardware was installed in November
2000. - Oracle Federal Financials v11.03 was loaded and
made available in early December, 2000.

Historical Timeline for I-MANAGE
IG report issued, Mitre study completed, I-MANAGE
Vision created by Dr. Carnes
Briefings for DOE Exec. Steering Committee, OMB,
Congress
Successful test of Integrated Contractor Interface
BMIS Phoenix slowdown for Mitre Study
Completed 2 Conference Room Pilots (CRPs)
Upgrade to Oracle V11i, fully web-based
JRC Conference
Complete Focus Phase
Complete Design Phase
- As part of the Phoenix Project, two CRPs were
held to test proposed configuration settings for
the Oracle software based on the original 557
requirements provided during the RFQ. - I-MANAGE addressed issues raised by OMB, the IG,
and the Mitre study. - The I-MANAGE Program superseded the Phoenix
Project which became the I-MANAGE STARS Project
within I-MANAGE.

I-MANAGE Program Administration
Chris Simpson Program Manager
- Program Office
- Umbrella organization over all projects in
I-MANAGE Portfolio. - Program staff provide oversight, guidance to all
projects. - Establishes enterprise vision by coordinating
multiple projects to achieve the I-MANAGE vision. - Allows individual Project Managers to focus on
their specific scope, mission.

7I-MANAGE Program Approach
I-MANAGE Program Administration
Chris Simpson Program Manager
- I-MANAGE Project Portfolio
- Individual project initiatives with specific
mission, defined scope. - Temporary lifetime once system is transitioned
to production, project teams disband. - Will need support from various groups,
individuals throughout the organization. - In many cases, the same people will be asked to
support two or more projects.
- Project planning, initiation, execution, control,
closing - Individual POAMs, detailed project plans using MS
Project - Earned value management for each project
- Bi-weekly project status reports
- Common deliverables across projects
- Deliverables specific to single projects

I-MANAGE Program Administration
Chris Simpson Program Manager
- Team IBM Support
- Grouped by domain areas of expertise, with
support provide by various business partners. - IBM, as the prime contractor, provides a single
point of control for the Department. - Provides expertise in each of the areas
displayed. - Focused on knowledge transfer, turnover to
Federal co-team members.
- Project planning, initiation, execution, control,
closing - Leverage business partners to provide resources
based on discounted GSA rates - Bring resources to bear as needed, then release
- Based on IBMs Method Blue, Oracles AIM using an
SEI CMM-I approach

I-MANAGE Program Administration Decision
Framework
HINT When raising issues, each group should
provide background, alternatives, and a
recommendation.
I-MANAGE Program Manager will address issue.
When decision requires consensus of programs, or
when necessary, escalate to the I-MANAGE Steering
Committee.

- Will replace DISCAS / MARS, and as an interim
measure, integrate FDS. - The Data Warehouse Project and Standard Budget
System Project will begin detailed requirements
analysis in 3rd quarter, FY03. - The I-MANAGE Data Warehouse is also schedule to
go live on October 1, 2004 by its nature, a data
warehouse continues to grow and evolve.

Start-up TBD
- The I-MANAGE Standard Budget System will ramp up
in FY 04, running in parallel with the STARS and
I-MANAGE Data Warehouse project. - Careful design will be necessary to ensure that
the planned integration takes place as smoothly
as possible. - This is accomplished by a proper architectural
model and approach, the use of standard
application programming interfaces (APIs),
selection of open technology architectures (e.g.
Oracle on a UNIX based platform), and an
enterprise data dictionary.

Project Management Realities
- What is Project Management?
- Project management balances competing demands of
Time (duration)
Cost (resources)
Quality
Scope (work)
Equation for Project Management Formula work

14I-MANAGE Program Approach
Project Management Realities
- Project management balances competing demands
of - Stakeholders with differing needs, expectations
- Identified requirements (needs)
- Unidentified requirements (expectations)
- Hint expectations should be translated to needs
