GUIDANCE

Template for the Integrated Program Plan (revised 4/99)

This template provides guidance for preparing the Integrated Program Plan (IPP). It supplements information found in Appendix B of the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS). Text of the template that is italicized is intended to guide preparation of the IPP. Non-italicized text defines the format and structure of the document (title page, table of contents, section head and numbers, tables and titles). Not all sections of the IPP template apply to every acquisition program, particularly requirements that will be satisfied by human resource services. Simply state "not applicable" for those sections which do not apply.

4 INTEGRATED PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Develop an integrated program schedule that is a logical networking of the work activities that will be executed to achieve successful program implementation. Use of an automated scheduling tool (e.g., MS Project, Primavera, Artemis) is encouraged. Numerically link the work activities to the narrative description of each in the functional areas addressed in this Integrated Program Plan Sections 5 through 16. The narrative descriptions define each work activity, identify the responsible agent, identify any associated product and approval agent for those products, and define the completion date for the activity. The integrated program schedule should integrate all activities (both government and contractor responsibilities) into a single comprehensive plan that represents the IPTs "road map for program implementation" from the investment decision through the inservice phase. Show major program milestones and critical interrelationships between work activities in the integrated program schedule.

The following are representative work activities that could appear in the integrated program schedule:

5 PERFORMANCE

Core Work Activities. Use the format below to define the core work activities to implement the program strategy defined in Section 5.1 of the Acquisition Strategy Paper. The work activities defined in this section relate to the overall program strategy; for example the engineering and development work activities associated with a software or hardware developmental program or the design and construction activities associated with establishing a new facility. Work activities related to such supporting disciplines as test and evaluation, quality assurance, and configuration management are defined in other sections of the Integrated Program Plan. The key is to think through what needs to be done to achieve the capability specified in the Acquisition Program Baseline, and to build the work activities that will achieve that capability. Link all work activities to Section 3, Integrated Program Schedule, and include funding requirements in Section 4, Integrated Program Funding

12 TEST AND EVALUATION

Use the format below to define the work activities to implement the test strategies in the Acquisition Strategy Paper. These activities must verify achievement of requirements and Critical Operational Issues in the Acquisition Program Baseline. Testing work activities may include: the creation, validation, and execution of developmental and operational test plans; test events; test reports; the development or procurement of specialized test equipment such as aircraft, simulators, hardware/software test beds, and computerdriven simulation models; the procurement of test articles and development of test sites; test data recording and analysis; and the establishment of manpower and training needed by both contractor and government personnel for the test program. If the contractor's Master Test Plan forms the basis for the Developmental System Test, ensure FAA input, control, and approval of work activities and approval points. For commercial and nondevelopmental programs, review the applicability of historical test data or commercial product testing in place of government-unique testing. For Operational System Test, clearly distinguish between testing at William J. Hughes FAA Technical Center and field testing, and be sure to coordinate and schedule test requirements early.

If the program is designated for IOT&E, the ATS Test Team will develop the IOT&E Section of the Integrated Program Plan. For designated programs, the preparation of the Independent Operational Test and Evaluation Readiness Declaration (IOT&ERD) should be an IPTtest activity under Operational System Test. Link all work activities in Section 3, Integrated Program Schedule, and include funding requirements in Section 4, Integrated Program Funding. The T&E Section for programs designated for IOT&E is co-approved by ATQ-1 and the IPT lead.

14 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Use the format below to define the work to implement quality assurance controls as specified in the Acquisition Strategy Paper. Include work activities needed to report, track, analyze, and correct quality problems emerging from contracted efforts. Link all work activities in Section 3, Integrated Program Schedule, and include funding requirements in Section 4, Integrated Program Funding. Identify in Section 11, InService Support, any training work activities for implementing quality assurance on this program.

15 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

Use the format below to define work activities to achieve configuration management for hardware, software, data documentation, interfaces, and tools, as appropriate. This approach will vary based on the product to be procured (e.g., commercial, nondevelopmental, or development). Typically, the following configuration baselines should be established and managed: a functional baseline of decomposed requirements, an allocated baseline of configuration items, and a product baseline for production. Software configuration management should cover source code, sourcecodelevel programming instructions of programmable firmware devices, test procedures, and test cases. Identify tools that will be used to accomplish configuration management. Link all work activities in Section 3, Integrated Program Schedule, and include funding requirements in Section 4, Integrated Program Funding

14 IN-SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Use the format below to define work activities that will executed during in-service management of this acquisition program. These work activities will become more definitive as products near and enter the inservice phase of the lifecycle. In-service work activities should define how the Integrated Product Team will monitor and evaluate the performance of fielded products and services, optimize their efficiency and effectiveness, sustain and extend their useful lifecycle within constraints of available sustainment funding, and evaluate the capability of fielded products and services to satisfy projected demand, as preparation for an investment decision on service-life extension when a major upgrade in capability is needed. Link all work activities in Section 3, Integrated Program Schedule, and include funding requirements in Section 4, Integrated Program Funding
