In class exercise
You
are employed by a new Space Startup company (make up the name) and you are
working on the company’s first project, a small CubeSat (1U) that will deliver
“space to the people”. In order to assure further funding for the first 100
satellites in the constellation you are hereby tasked to initiate the first
step of the process. To plan the development and execution of the design,
fabrication, launch and operation of the first 100 satellites.
Exam
The
scenario is based on that you now have evaluated the 100 “prototypes” and plan
to go full scale with your concept. The in-class project focused on pitching
your idea of launching 100 prototype 1U satellites. You can now assume that you
have performed that project, that it to a large extent was successful and that
you now will launch the full array of satellites. For example,4000 satellites
over the next 4 years.
Make up
the scenario and make sure it is included in the background/charter chapter. Use
the templates and material from NASA, base the report on the SEMP template and
the PP&C document from Nasa. You may modify the templates and data to the
appropriate level of the Space Start-up that you are running. And the scenario
dictates that you are now fully responsible for all parts of the SEMP/PMP.
Your SEMP
and PMP (one document) could follow the template provided in the appendix J
(Nasa Systems Engineering handbook). The SEMP needs to be combined with more
detailed project management content (Called PP&C in Nasa language)
Create
your own structure (use one from Nasa or your company). The selected template
should contain:
–
Charter–The charter includes
the introduction and background and scope of the project (which could include):
o Executive Summary,
o Objectives (Goal statement), Concept of Operation.
o NTCP diagram (and motivation)
o Description of the organization (and project background)
o
Needed resources/competences.
–
Stakeholders
o Main stakeholders, stakeholder analysis (requirements)
–
WBS (including all project
relevant tasks and deliveries and aligned with product structure, lifecycle and
project organization)
–
–
Risk assessment
o (Focus on the most important risks and make a detailed analysis and
mitigation strategy for 2-5 of them).
–
Project Time Plan (normally
based on the WBS)
o Rolling wave plan may be used, (i.e. General long-term plan and a
more detailed plan for the next 1-6 months)
o The overall plan can be a Gantt chart. However it is recommended to
use a network plan for the detailed level (next 1-6 months).
–
SEMP
o See template from Nasa, remove redundancies.
o
Follow up and reporting
strategy
The
report may need additional sections with respect of your selected product and
context. You may review The ISO15288 standard for proper content. The report
should be complete (to an appropriate level, useful for the targeted organization).
It should also be balanced to ensure that the chapters are aligned, and that the
same and comparable level of detail is presented in all chapters.
–
All figures and tables must be
explained and introduced in text
–
A balance at about 50/50
regarding text and figures is probably adequate.
–
You are allowed to attach
appendixes for clarification (but they will normally not be considered when
doing the assessment of the PMP/SEMP)
–
Keep the SEMP/PMP core document
at maximum 30 pages.
–
You may
add comments. Preferably as numbered footnotes that are presented in the text
or at the report or in anappendix(if longer than a few lines). This
text/appendix is not included in the overall word count.In class exercise
