2. Project Plan

The team leadership is committed to on-time delivery of results that meet or exceed U.S. DOT's expectations. The team will employ generally accepted program management practices, such as those contained in the Program Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK). UMTRI employs an in-house certified program management professional (PMP) who has developed reliable tools and methods to execute these practices. These were developed and used for the Road Departure Crash Warning (RDCW) Field Operational Test; the Integrated Vehicle Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) Field Operational Test, the SPMD; and continues to be used with the AACVTE. For each of these successful programs, lessons learned were gathered and integrated into the existing tools and methods improve their robustness for the next program. Over the course of this experience, techniques were modified for the research project environment, and these tools can be useful to the partners. The PMP will oversee adherence to PMBOK, resolve issues, and monitor and control the program.

A program management plan will be delivered that includes: definition of scope; development of a work breakdown structure (WBS); and a resulting schedule and budget. Other components of the program management plan include a quality plan as applicable, risk management plan (risk register and risk response plans), and a human resources plan (identification of team members, roles and responsibilities). Earned value analysis techniques will be used and the metrics reported to NHTSA to ensure that technical progress and expenditures are consistent.
