**Issues Summary**
**Next Steps**
**Backup**

## Project Status

**White Papers/Business Cases**
**Historical Data Conversion**
- Supports requirement to convert all NPPS historical data to FPPS
- Project management review completed
- Decision made to convert all NPPS historical data to the FPPS data mart
**Standardized Agency Awards System **
- Currently, five different systems deployed at five Centers with a common interface for processing data elements needed to automate award transactions in NPPS
- Integration scope accommodates current award systems interface structure
- Development and deployment of standard award system not in planned scope of the e-Payroll Project
- Business case underway to determine benefits, cost, schedule impact
- Scope decision to be made after finalization of business case
**Standardized Labor Distribution System**
- Standardization of a single labor system may not be feasible during e-Payroll implementation due to time constraints
- Not in planned scope of e-Payroll Project
- e-Payroll Steering Committee to be briefed on status of business case
- “Out of scope” decision to be documented as part of formulation close-out

## Project Status (cont’d)

**Payroll and HR Functional Gap Analysis Completed **
**Business Practice (10)**
**Regulatory (12)**
**Gap Assessment Package forwarded to DOI for response**
- Formal response from DOI to gap resolutions requested by October 30
- All gaps have been forwarded to DOI’s change control group for assessment
- Obtained verbal commitment from DOI to resolve regulatory gaps prior to parallel testing
- No commitment from DOI, at this time, to business practice gaps

## Project Status (cont’d)

**Gap Analysis - Segmentation**

**Notes:**
Reduces risk of inability to provide inter-agency collaboration where needed
environment challenge of finding resources that can support and upgrade the software products

## Open Issues (cont’d)

**Regulatory Changes to NPPS**
**Work Flexibility Act of 2003**
- Preliminary analysis performed based on pending legislation
- Initial assessment determined modification can be made to NPPS to accommodate minimum requirements; results in low impact to e-Payroll schedule and resources
- Complete impact assessment will be made when final requirements received (estimated 10/25/03)
- Assessment as to whether or not DOI can commit to these changes will be made after NASA’s final requirements have been submitted (October 30)
**Change in Insurance Provider (NASA Employees Benefits Association)**
- Determined to be no impact to schedule and resources

**Notes:**
Reduces risk of inability to provide inter-agency collaboration where needed
environment challenge of finding resources that can support and upgrade the software products

## Open Issues (cont’d)

**Impact of workarounds that may be imposed due to current DOI implementation schedule timeframe (see Backup)**
**Total gaps reduced from 38 to 22**
**Workarounds developed for all gaps**
- Regulatory gaps receive first priority; verbal commitment from DOI for timely resolution (within schedule)
- Business practice gaps receive second priority; no commitment from DOI at this time
- Workarounds for business practice gaps include manual tracking, additional workload effort, additional support systems, etc.
- High Volume Manual Process Gaps (3)
- Medium Volume Manual Process Gaps (4)
- Low Volume Manual Process Gaps (1)

**Notes:**
Reduces risk of inability to provide inter-agency collaboration where needed
environment challenge of finding resources that can support and upgrade the software products

## Open Issues (cont’d)

**Absence of DOI Technical Support Structure**
**Requested FPPS development environment (FPPS sandbox)  that provides sample FPPS data to facilitate interface and technical infrastructure assessment **
**On-site meeting scheduled at DOI, October 20**
- Discuss NASA specific requirements for sandbox
- Obtain consensus on “when” and “what” is needed to accommodate  NASA requirements
**Integration and Reporting Scope**
**SWAT team designated to define Agency minimum standard reports by October 30**
**e-Payroll Steering Committee to be briefed by IPO on interface scope finalization **
**New Interfaces to NPPS**
**Recommend a moratorium on new interfaces to NPPS until after e-Payroll due to tight schedule for migrating to the DOI system**

## Issues Summary

## Next Steps

** ****	****Close Open Issues**
** ****	****Assess Implementation Schedule Impact After Receiving DOI Response to ****	****Providing FPPS Development Environment**
**  ****Conduct joint meeting with DOI to determine critical path tasks for ****	****implementation phase and incorporate into NASA’s implementation plan**
