Wildland Fire Information and Technology1. Objectives of the Project Management Standard Operating ProcedureThe objectives of the WFIT Project Management Standard Operating Procedure (PMSOP) are:1) Identify a standard WFIT project life cycle (PLC) by which an asset within the WFIT Portfolio canbe effectively managed by WFIT Leadership during its development and operational life;2) To establish a standard and consistent process of information compilation and decision makingto competently advance investments through the PLC;3) To establish a decision making cadence to advance projects through the lifecycle;4) To establish expected information for each life cycle checkpoint.The PMSOP seeks to identify the information necessary to make competent investment managementdecisions by the appropriate decision makers to maximize the effectiveness of WFIT investmentactivities as identified by WFIT Leadership using the Investment Decision Standard Operating Procedure(ID SOP).Version 1.0Page 4 of 44

Wildland Fire Information and Technology2. PLC Leadership – Decision Bodies and Working GroupsThe management structure responsible for WFIT project management considers oversight andinformation collection / management of both development activities (Development, Modernization, andEnhancement or DME) and steady-state activities (Operations and Maintenance, or O&M). The PMSOPis designed to provide those responsible for oversight with the comprehensive information necessary tomake competent decisions, and to provide those responsible for information collection andmanagement, well-defined expectations.This SOP identifies decision bodies as those responsible to approve the transition of an asset throughthe PLC. WFIT decision bodies are also noted in the IDSOP as they have been formed to identify, select,and manage of wildland fire investment activities. They are noted Figure 1 - Project Management –WFIT Decision Bodies as groups A through F. Each group’s role and responsibility with respect to thePLC are identified in the PMSOP to ensure their mission, objectives, and strategies are appropriatelyconsidered during investment activities, and are aligned with their roles in the IDSOP.This SOP identifies working groups to manage the information presented in the PLC processes. Thesegroups are identified Figure 1 - Project Management – WFIT Decision Bodies as groups 1 through 4.They are comprised of subject matter experts (SMEs) aligned with the phases they support within thePMSOP (e.g. Project Management Group is comprised of certified project managers, the PlanningWorking Group is comprised of those individuals well versed in technical planning and agency financialplanning processes). The roles and responsibilities of these groups, with respect to the PLC, are detailedin this document.Figure 1 - Project Management – WFIT Decision BodiesPage 5 of 44

Wildland Fire Information and TechnologyThis SOP identifies agency decision bodies whose roles are established to meet agency policy (primarilybudget, acquisition, and security). Their roles are defined by their respective agency’s objectives andresponsibilities. WFIT investment decisions and the processes identified in this SOP are intended toalign with their agency’s policies, expectations, and processes;Finally, the wildfire community is comprised of many stakeholders. This SOP identifies informedstakeholders who depend on information regarding the WFIT investments, and at times must beconsulted to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the community’s needs;Each oversight body’s objective is identified in the IDSOP, and their primary oversight responsibility withrespect to the PLC is identified in detail in this document. For each deliverable, parties are identifiedwho are involved with the completion of the delivery, or notified of its results. These are noted with theWFIT Activity RASCI Chart, shown in Figure 2 - WFIT Project Activity RASCI Chart and within thisdocument, below. The RASCI chart identifies roles that impact PLC activities:1. Responsible: those responsible to complete the defined task – executes the necessary work2. Accountable: those ultimately answerable for the completion of the task3. Supportive: assists in completing the task4. Consulted: opinions are sought (SMEs), or5. Informed: kept up to date; one way communicationThis chart is aligned with activities identified within the WFIT PLC, and is maintained by the WFIT PMO.Roles noted in the RASCI Chart are briefly defined in Section 7 - RASCI Chart Roles.IdeaWFIT Activity RASCI ry Business Value AssessmentIIRAIIIIICIIIIRACCCIPass Idea GateIACIIIRRIIIIAIISIIAISIIInitial Business RequirementsICISIIARIIIIRSCCCRCCCCSSIIIIInitial Business ValueICISIIARISSIIIITechnology AssessmentIICSIIASRIRIIIIDISAA AssessmentIICSIIAIRISServices AssessmentIICSCCACRCCProof of ConceptIICSIIASRCSIISIICCCIPrelim.

Wildland Fire Information and Technology3. Assets managed via the WFIT Project Management SOPThe WFIT Portfolio (Portfolio) is comprised of assets developed to provide capabilities to wildland fireoperations and delivered via information and technology components. An asset may be a softwareapplication that collects, analyzes, or reports information, it may be the infrastructure used to supportthe software application, or it may be a supporting service (e.g. helpdesk support, training tools, datamanagement). WFIT Leadership manages the Portfolio to deliver assets in the most effective andefficient manner, in alignment with agency policies, and supporting the cross-agency mission andobjectives of wildland fire community.Per the WFIT Portfolio Management Standard Operating Procedure (PtMSOP), assets within thePortfolio are organized into three tiers. They are:Tier 1 – those assets that are funded and managed by WFIT Leadership whose capabilities aredeveloped specifically for the betterment of wildland fire operations (e.g. WFDSS, FEPMIS, ROSS);Tier 2 – those assets that funded by WFIT allocated funds but whose capabilities are prescribed bythe owner (e.g. NOAA subscriptions, FlamMap); andTier 3 – those assets whose capabilities are relied upon by the wildland fire community but notprescribed, or funded, by WFIT (e.g. VIPER, ).The PMSOP primarily considers Tier 1 assets. These assets considered as they involve manageddevelopment activities, providing both schedule and resource oversight, as well as ensuring the resultingasset delivers the expected capability, as prescribed via the Investment Decision Standard OperatingProcedure (IDSOP).Tier 2 and Tier 3 assets are used by the wildland fire community and share information with Tier 1assets, and so their impact must be understood and considered during the development and operationof Tier 1 assets.The PMSOP organizes the development, compilation, presentation and oversight of pertinentinformation associated with asset development and steady state operations, as appropriate.Page 7 of 44

Wildland Fire Information and Technology4. Alignment of Investment Activities with Fiscal DefinitionsThe insertion of an investment activity into the PLC is at the discretion of the FMB with support andoversight by the PB and PMO. Appropriate considerations and recommendations must be made by theoversight groups to ensure that all agency and department expectations are considered to ensure thatinvestment activities are monitored and reported under the proper OMB classifications.To support informed investment decisions, the categorization of investments between development andoperations is valuable. These categories are generally defined in the Office of Management and Budget(OMB) as Development, Modernization and Enhancement (DME) and Operations and Maintenance(O&M), respectively.OM ’s FY 14 Ex; 300 guidance document refers to DME costs as:a) Activities leading to new IT assets/systems, andb) Activities that change or modify existing IT assets to: substantively modify or improve capabilityor performance, implement legislative or regulatory requirements, or meet an agency leadershiprequest. Costs can include hardware, software development and acquisition costs, commercialoff-the-shelf acquisition costs, government labor costs, and contracted labor costs for planning,development, acquisition, system integration, and direct project management and overheadsupport.OM ’s FY 14 Ex; 300 guidance document refers to O&M activities as:a) Operations - the phase of the life cycle in which the asset is in operations and produces thesame product or provides a repetitive service, andb) Maintenance - an investment activity necessary to keep an asset functioning as designedduring the O&M phase of an investment. Some maintenance activities should be managedas projects and reported in Section B of Exhibit 300B. Examples of maintenance projectsmay include: operating system upgrades, technology refreshes, and security patchimplementations.The Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) Statement of Federal Financial AccountingStandards Number 10 identifies:a) Maintenance costs as all costs (including all related personnel costs) needed to sustain an ITasset at the current capability and performance levels, and specifically excluding activitiesaimed at expanding the capacity of an asset, or otherwise upgrading it to serve needs differentfrom or significantly greater than those originally intended;”b) Technology refreshment costs are those costs associated with the intentional, incrementalinsertion of new technology (hardware or software), targeted at increasing capability, improvingreliability, maintainability, efficiency, or performance.Version 1.0Page 8 of 44

Wildland Fire Information and Technology5. The WFIT Project Management Life CycleThe PLC is modeled after business standard stage-gate life cycle processes. The PLC intends to followthe standards established by the (insert Government project management standard) adapted toconsider the cross-agency character of WFIT.The PLC organizes the management of assets within the Portfolio to:1)2)3)4)5)6)Ensure new assets deliver the desired capabilities as identified via the IDSOP;Ensure asset implementation supports the objectives of WFIT technology strategies;Ensure asset implementations meet the policy of its stakeholder organizations,Manage the delivery of assets within budgeted scope, schedule and resource expectations;Ensure investment processes meet budgetary policy of its stakeholder organizations;Ensure that existing assets continue to meet the needs of the wildland fire community in themost effective and efficient manner; and7) Communicate development status of an asset.The PLC is summarized in the diagram depicted in Figure 3 as a standard stage-gate, phased approach toproduct development. The components within the summary diagram are depicted in Figure 4, definedin Section 6 of this document, and described in detail in this SOP by phase.Figure 3 -WFIT Project Life Cycle SummaryVersion 1.0Page 10 of 44

Wildland Fire Information and TechnologyFigure 4 - Components of the PLCAn asset enters into the PLC governance through two mechanisms. First, an idea may initially beconsidered by WFIT by engaging the ETG to being formulating the idea into an asset that meets abusiness need of the wildland fire community. This process can be initiated by any individual, or group,with interest in wildland fire activities. Second, an asset whose capabilities have developed a level ofinterest to the wildfire community, via interest by the FMB, may be injected into the PLC by the FMBwithin the Concept Phase to evaluate the enterprise impact of the asset.An asset moves through the PLC by meeting the exit criteria established at each stage-gate, as evaluatedby the oversight body. Any asset under the purview of WFIT, i.e. within the WFIT Portfolio, will continuethrough the PLC until it is decommissioned and no longer under the purview of WFIT. This cycle isdepicted in Figure 5 - Flow of an Asset through the PLC.The phase to which an asset is assigned is dependent on its level of development. At times it may occurthat an asset’s development status is impacted by development decisions, policy changes, and changesin business need and development objectives. At that time, the asset may move back in phase toaccurately reflect its development status and ensure proper oversight of accomplished developments,per the objectives of the PLC.Page 11 of 44
