## PDS Definitions for Project Status Fever Charts

- PDS: Problem encountered [Note that even a minor problem without solution will impact commitment], no identified plan/solution, commitment has not been met or cannot be met
- - [Phase A/B] No mission data archive funding allocated or whatever existed is now totally cut, no MOU
- - [Phase C/D] Data management/archive plans, and/or ICD/SIS's behind schedule (past MRR) or don't exist, chances are that the documents will not be completed
- - [Phase E] Data set deliveries and associated templates far behind negotiated schedule, chances are that the archive may not be done
- - Project delivered data that fail peer review or fail to meet basic PDS standards and there is no time or money for the project to correct the situation. (Ex., NEAR)

-  	Green represents *Progress according to Plan*
- PDS: Commitments have been met or are on-track to being met.
- - [Phase A/B] Mission data archive funding in place, MOU signed
- - [Phase C/D] Data management/archive plans, and/or ICD/SIS's on schedule or in place/signed (per mission life cycle milestones)
- - [Phase E] Data set deliveries and associated templates on schedule and/or delivered

- 	Yellow represents an *Area of concern*
- PDS: Encountered problem (may be due to technical, budget, or schedule), plan in place to resolve, commitment budget/schedule negatively affected
- - [Phase A/B] Mission data archive funding reduced/delayed, partial dollars allocated or funding deferred for very late start, MOU in draft
- - [Phase C/D] Draft data management/archive plans, and/or ICD/SIS's behind schedule (past CDR)
- - [Phase E] Data set deliveries and associated templates behind negotiated schedule

## GPMC Request for PMs to Report Quarterly on Mission Archive Status

- Simple reporting checklist requested of PDS for Project Managers to use quarterly
- Reporting template on next slide
- Approved via Quarterly
- Form to be included in online Project Manager’s Quarterly Template
- Proposal in place of how to sync archive reporting between Project and PDS sources

## Project Data Archive Reporting Template (simplified)

## Verification of Template Reporting(Proposal)

- How will information be transferred between Projects and CN
- An interchange medium is planned based on the Wiki concept & will be managed by CN. Wiki is server software that allows users to exchange and edit documents collaboratively over the Web.  Templates, fever charts and other tracking metrics will be interchanged and edited in this manner.
- Who at CN verifies each item and how verified (see next slide)
- Mission Interface Lead (steps 1-4)
- Verified by checking online box after inspection
- CN Cognizant Data Engineer (5-11)
- 5, 7 & 8 verified by Verified by checking online box after inspection
- 6 & 9 Verified by checking online box after obtaining signature
- Operations Lead (12)
- Verified by checking online box after receipt of data sets
- CN Cognizant Data Engineer (13)
- Verified by checking online box after lien clearance

## Aligning Mission Fever Charts with Reporting Templates(Proposal)

- Nodes to provide fever charts and other metrics, Missions provide statused reporting templates
- Charts, reporting templates, and other tracking info delivered by Project monthly through Wiki interchange site
- CN to align metrics
- Mission Interface (MI) Lead will align all metrics to provide a coherent picture of archive status
- MI Lead will collect inputs from Ops Lead and Cognizant CN Data Engineers
- MI Lead will interact with Discipline Nodes to align status
- MI Lead will check off appropriate boxes on template
- CN to report deviations from schedule
- Any missed deadline in report checklist must be reflected in fever charts, or vice versa
