    I. REQUEST

    In late March 2004, Charlotte Gregg was assigned as Project Manager of the IMS FIESTA PAsub-project. (IMS stands for Integrated Management System. FIESTA is the acronym for

    Florida Integrated Environmental System TodAy and PA is the Permitting Application shortname.) Linda Lakes was the original PM; she created the initial project plan. After a meetingwith select team members (Robert Rouse, Linda Lakes, Charlotte Gregg and Kimber Allen), itwas decided that this project would change significantly in nature. This project will no longerwait on the other IMS integrations (WAFR and CHAZ), but will immediately create a singlemethod for permit data entry purposes, with the IMS FIESTA look and feel. Thedevelopment of the new FIESTA PA form(s) will comply with current existing businessconstraints; when the business rules in the various program areas are changed based on new rulesimposed by the IMS, at that time, modifications to FIESTA PA (and the unchanged PA) will beaddressed at that time. The form(s) created/modified for this project will still use the existingapplication area data stores. Changes to the existing database(s) will be minimal; therefore,several deliverables are not required for this project, including the ERD and Server Model.

    BACKGROUND

    History of the ProjectThe following information is taken from the IMS master SOW, in the IMS Sub-Projects PhaseI section for this project:

    FIESTA Permitting Application: A common, high-level IMS interface for creating new Managed Entitiesthat result from the processing of Permit Applications. Staff would interact with a common interface that

    prompts for CORE information. Until designated applications are integrated, the appropriate "specialized"

    PA interface (Generic PA, ARMS PA, etc.) would be invoked as necessary.

    The Permitting Application (PA) contains information relating to permitted sites within Florida.The primary function of the schema is to store data about environmental permits required byDEP. This includes the point from application reception, through the application reviewprocess, and up to final agency determination.

    Data entry of site inventory, related party, permit type, and status of application is performed atDepartment headquarters and/or District offices. Many DEP divisions use the PermittingApplication. There are currently over 800 users of PA.

    Business or IT Objectives of the ProjectThe primary IT objective for this project is to provide a single method for permit data entrypurposes with the look and feel of the other IMS FIESTA Oracle forms. Another objective ofthis project is to encourage the PA users to come on board the IMS bandwagon. By providingthese users the slick, modern FIESTA PA form, the intent is to encourage them to be eager tobring their particular program area data into the core (at the appropriate time).

    Critical Success Factors of the ProjectThe Critical Success Factors constitute the Project Sponsors answer to the question: How willyou define the success of the project? These factors are prioritized and serve as a guideline

  • 8/3/2019 Fiesta Pa Sow v1.5 Final

    7/25

    used by the Project Manager to do trade-off analysis. Whenever these factors come into conflictthroughout the project, the Project Manager will use this list as a guide for decision-making.The Critical Success Factors for this project are the following:

    1. The IMS FIESTA PA form(s) provide a single method for permit data entry.2. The IMS FIESTA PA form(s) mirror the look and feel of the other IMS FIESTA

    Oracle forms.3. The IMS FIESTA PA project is completed before any other IMS projects require that

    any current PA business processes be modified.4. The project is implemented according to the project plan and SOW.

    PROJECT SCOPE

    In-ScopeThis project involves the development of new Oracle form(s) to allow for the following highest-level functions:

    1. Input of DEP permit data;2. A new method (entry point) for data entry PA users to access ARMS PA, WAFR PA and

    Generic PA; and3. A format within the new form(s) that mimics the look and feel of other IMS FIESTA

    Oracle forms.

    The project is divided into the following phases:

    ISDM Phase Purpose

    Strategy Phase:The purpose of this phase is to initiate the project. Developed in thisphase, the detailed, agreed upon, approved project plan and Statement ofWork should comprise the road map that is used to navigate the project.

    Needs AssessmentPhase:

    The purpose of this phase is to determine the user needs and applicationspecifications.

    System DesignPhase:

    The purpose of this phase is to convert all logical requirements (gatheredin the previous phase) into physical/technical specifications to be used fordeveloping a working system.

    AlphaDevelopmentPhase:

    The purpose of this phase is to create the first working system1 based onthe physical/technical specifications.

    Beta TestingPhase: The purpose of this phase is to review the system to ensure it achieves thegoals specified during the System Design Phase.

    ImplementationPhase:

    The purpose of this phase is to install the system on the appropriateproduction platform, grant access to users and provide training.

    The work in detail will be outlined in the WORK APPROACH AND DELIVERABLES section.

    1 The definition of System encompasses the database and the application. Database is defined as a sharedcollection of logically related data. Application is a finite set of job functions, which have been automated, andact on data residing in a database.

    Out of ScopeThe following items are out of scope for this project:

    1. Modifications to existing business rules and/or procedures currently followed in theprogram areas using PA;

    2. Changes to the existing PA system to comply with IMS constraints (whether related to

    the core database or any Clearinghouse issues);3. Creation of FIESTA PA reports;4. Changes/enhancements to existing PA reports; and5. Clean up of any PA data.

    MANAGEMENT APPROACH

    Plan ManagementBIS will develop a detailed project plan at the beginning of this project using MS Project 2000.The plan will be baselined at the beginning of the project. The baseline will only be adjusted

    when the customer approves a change request that affects the schedule.The Project Manager will update the project plan weekly with data supplied by all teammembers in the progress reporting process. The Project Manager will control potential changesto the baseline project schedule and/or estimates through the use of the change procedure asdescribed in this SOW.

    Communications ManagementCommunications Management will focus on providing regular updates on the contributions,commitments and challenges for the project effort to all project participants as defined in theproject roles and responsibilities and/or project organizational chart. Communications consist ofthe following processes:

    Team communicationsEach project participant will submit to the Project Manager a weekly Individual ProjectStatus Report (IPSR) that identifies completed tasks, tasks expected to be completed in thenext reporting period, lost time, issues, and time reporting by task (including actual effort,effort estimates-to-complete, estimated completion date). The weekly individual reports areconsolidated into a summarized weekly project report. The project team will meet weekly toshare overall project status, to discuss issues, and to provide assignments and goals.

    Customer communicationsThe Project Manager will meet weekly with the customer to review overall project status, toreview deliverables and discuss issues. A weeklyProject Status Report (PSR) will bedistributed to the customer and all project participants.

    Project NotebookA project notebook is kept as a single repository for all documentation of projectmanagement, project reporting and control materials. It is accessible to the project team as areference document throughout the project.

    Issues ManagementAn issue is defined as any item adversely affecting execution of the project plan. Issues mayadversely impact the cost, time frame and/or quality of the deliverables of the project. Resolvingissues is an on-going process throughout the life of any project. The keys to effective issueresolution are early identification, communication and management. Our process is as follows:

    http://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/IPSR%20template.xlshttp://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/IPSR%20template.xlshttp://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/ProjectStatusReportTemplate.dochttp://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/ProjectStatusReportTemplate.dochttp://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/IPSR%20template.xlshttp://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/IPSR%20template.xlshttp://opt/scribd/conversion/tmp/scratch6190/ProjectStatusReportTemplate.doc
  • 8/3/2019 Fiesta Pa Sow v1.5 Final

    9/25

    Issues are recorded into a Project Issue Log. Every record in the Issue Log contains a descriptionof the issue, actual or potential impact if not resolved, who raised the issue, when the issue wasraised, updates, and final resolution. Every issue has a target date for resolution after which theproject is impacted. Every issue has an owner responsible for driving resolution and keeping theProject Manager up to date on progress.

    Issues are listed (or the Issues Log is attached) in the weekly Project Status Report (PSR). Issuesare reviewed weekly in team status and customer status meetings. Issues are closed only whenthe initiator is comfortable that the resolution addresses their problem.

    Note: Critical issues will be reported to the Project Manager as they are identified,without consideration to the standard status reporting procedures.

    Escalation: There may be instances where an issue needs to be escalated. Escalationinvolves bringing the issue to the attention of the Project Sponsor for resolution.

    QUALITY ASSURANCE

    This project will use the standard BIS Control and Reporting Process (BCRP) to monitor projectquality. BCRP deals with project management expectations within BIS and sets rigorous, butminimum standards for quality in project management. Projects within BIS are randomlyselected for review at Project Initiation, Quarterly, and at Project Closure.

    The quality processes that will be used on this project are: quality audits from the BIS ProjectManagement Office (PMO), Peer/Quality Assurance Reviews of project deliverables, and thestandard quality processes built into the BIS Information System Development Methodology(ISDM).

    TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT

    Oracle Development EnvironmentThe Oracle forms development work will conform to the standards described below: User Workstation requirements - Any user must have the following software on their PC:

    Internet Explorer and the current version of JInitiator. A user must have a valid Oracleaccount on the appropriate database (on ORABETA for beta testing; on ORAPROD forproduction). Also, a user must have been granted access, in the Web Access ControlApplication (WACA), to the appropriate application(s).

    Development environment - Forms will be created on the development middle tier server,EPIC227 (ALPH). The database that will be used for development and testing is ORADEV.

    The developers will use the Development URL for testing: http://depdev.dep.state.fl.us:8888.

    Testing environment -The application will be moved to the Beta region of EPIC227 by oneof the BIS developers. The users in this region should test the application by using the betaURL: http://depbeta.dep.state.fl.us: 7777. The database that will be used for applicationtesting is ORABETA.

    Production environment - Once approved by BETA testers the application forms can bemoved to production. The items will be moved from EPIC227 (BETA) to the productionserver, by one of BIS Database Administrators (DBA), at the request of the BIS project

    lead. The new system will then be available from this URL: http://depapps.dep.state.fl.us:7777/. The production database is ORAPROD.

    GIS Development EnvironmentGIS products, services and data will conform to the standards below:

    User Workstation Requirements - ArcIMS users must have MS Internet Explorer 5.5 orbetter. Desktop GIS users must have ArcGIS 8.1.2 or better and a workstation that conformsto the ESRI hardware recommendations for the current release of ArcGIS.

    Development Environment - ArcIMS applications and web services will be developed inArcIMS 4.0.1 on either the developer's workstation or on GISAIMSDEV1. ArcIMSapplications and web services must conform to the published BIS/GIS Web Mapping System(WMS) technical standards (which can be viewed at http://depnet/gis/services/arcims.htm).ArcIMS applications must use data provided by ArcSDE rather than local copies of data.Data products will be developed on GISTEST in ArcSDE 8.3 and Oracle 9.2.0.2.

    Testing Environment - ArcIMS applications and web services will be tested onGISAIMSBETA1 running ArcIMS 4.0.1 and configured in accordance with the publishedWMS standards referenced above. All data products will be tested on GISTEST,

    configuration noted above. Staging Environment - ArcIMS applications and web services will be ported to

    GISWEBSTG4, GISMAPSTG4, and GISMAPSTG5 and tested prior to porting to theproduction environment. GISWEBSTG4, GISMAPSTG4, and GISMAPSTG5 run ArcIMS4.0.1 and are configured in accordance with the published WMS standards referenced above.

    Production Environment - ArcIMS applications and web services will be ported toGISWEB4, GISMAP4, and GISMAP5 running ArcIMS 4.0.1 and configured in accordancewith the published WMS standards referenced above. All data products will be copied orimported to EPIC31 running ArcSDE 8.3 and Oracle 9.2.0.2.

    Middle-Tier Environment

    Oracle development tools and application server have been upgraded to the latest version (9i) inorder to remove any bugs that may have been fixed from earlier versions and also to provide themost robust development environment available from Oracle Corporation. This upgradeprovides J2EE 1.3 capabilities needed now for integration of GIS and Oracle Formsfunctionality. It is expected that within the next year DEP will upgrade to the next version (10g)when that software is mature for the previous reasons and to provide J2EE 1.4 capabilities.Oracle upgrades are always planned and carefully managed and they occur with explicitapproval of the CIO.

    Access & SecurityAccess to DEP systems is done through the use of the Web Access Control Application(WACA). The system is designed to give the authorized end-users control over the access totheir Information Systems. As part of the development process, the user community workswith application development staff to specify and set up the security levels and roles for theapplication. The application is then developed to use this information to limit access in theapplication based upon the role (security level) assigned. Individual access is granted to theseroles through the use of the WACA system.

    WORK APPROACH AND DELIVERABLES

    Work ApproachThe following methodologies and standards will be taken into account during development foreach phase of this project:

    1. DEPs Information Systems Development Methodology (ISDM)2. BIS Productivity Management Standards3. BIS Oracle Designer Naming Standards

  • 8/3/2019 Fiesta Pa Sow v1.5 Final

    12/25

    The work approach for the project will be deliverable-based. A collection of pre-determineddeliverables will be completed, as the project proceeds through the seven phases of the DEPInformation Systems Development Methodology (ISDM). Those ISDM phases are Proposal,Strategy, Needs Assessment, System Design, Alpha Development, Beta Testing, andImplementation. The project deliverables and milestones are outlined in the next section, underthe appropriate ISDM phase.

    Deliverables (& Milestones)The project deliverables, which will require approval and acceptance from the customer, will beassigned a deliverable number. This number will be used in the project plan, in projectreporting, and in the next section to uniquely identify the particular project deliverable. Adeliverable will have defined acceptance criteria; these criteria will be the basis for approvalwhen the deliverable has been completed. A milestone is a thing of significance to the project.Milestones are different from deliverables in that they do not require approval and they will nothave an assigned number. However, the project milestones will be documented in the followingsection, along with the deliverables, and will be included in project reporting. Milestones willhave Completion Criteria and will often require a reviewer, but a Milestone will not require an

    approver.

    System Design PhaseThe deliverable of greatest importance created during the System Design Phase is the Detailed RequirementsSpecification (DRS) document. It is with this document that the programmer is given the details or thespecifics for coding the system. Another product of this phase is the Server Model or physical schema. Thereare no deliverables or milestones to be produced during the System Design Phase for this project. There will

    be no changes to the database. Also, it has been elected that the programmer will create the new FIESTA PAform from the Candidate Requirements document, not from a DRS document.

    Alpha Development PhaseThe actual system begins to take shape in this phase. Forms or screens and reports or other output are usuallythe two key deliverables. In addition, at the end of this phase, a Beta Test Plan, that will direct the BetaTesting effort during the next phase, is created. The following are the deliverables and/or milestones to be

    produced during the Alpha Development Phase for this project:

    Milestone - Database and all Database Objects (ALPH)

    Description:The creation and/or modification of all development database objects, including tables, views,indexes, triggers, procedures, and roles.

    Produced by: Sesh Paladugu

    CompletionCriteria:

    The delivery of the Database and all Database Objects will be determined COMPLETE whenthe following criteria are met: All database objects needed for development of alpha deliverables (i.e., forms and/or

    reports) have been created (and populated, as needed); All appropriate SQL and PL/SQL scripts have been run correctly on the development

    database; and All applicable database objects have been compiled without errors on the development

    database.

    PROJECT PLAN

    A summarized project plan is presented here showing planned tasks and activities; planned startand finish dates and work estimates. This project was estimated using experienced basedestimating.

    RISK MANAGEMENT

    Risks exist on every project; however, proactive management can reduce risk occurrence andrisk impact to the project. A structured process serves to monitor, assess, and deal with knownrisks and to uncover new risks as they arise. Risks are communicated to the project team and tothe customer to encourage shared management of the potential risks. Risks are reviewed with the

  • 8/3/2019 Fiesta Pa Sow v1.5 Final

    23/25

    customer to create awareness of what we are doing to address risk and also to make the customeraware we may seek their involvement in mitigation.

    Risks are formally reviewed during creation of the SOW and each month thereafter. Theprevious risk assessment serves as input to the next risk assessment. However, new risks may beidentified and priorities can/do change. The Project Risk Assessment (PRAM) will be reviewed

    and updated on a more frequent basis if warranted.

    Project RisksThe following risks have been identified that may have an adverse impact on completion of theproject objectives. Risks are an attempt to predict potential issues that may come up in the lifecycle of the project. For probability (PROB) and consequence (CONSQ), H = High, M =Medium, and L = Low.

    CHANGE MANAGEMENT

    Change ProcedureThe change procedure will be used in any situation where a change occurs to the project asdefined in this Statement of Work. As the project proceeds, there can be occasions when changes

    are desired to the scope, approach, processes and procedures that were originally agreed to. Thechange process will also be used when these processes and procedures are violated or when thereis a failure to perform some aspect of the Statement of Work. The Project Manager estimates theimpact of change requests as to the need or benefit, the impact to cost and schedule and thensecures appropriate management approval before adjusting. Note that some changes do notimpact cost or schedule but alters expectations. These are called Informational Change Requestsand will be handled the same as non-informational change requests.

    1. Anyone on the project team may request a change. This request is given to the ProjectManager. The Project Manager analyzes the change request and completes the ChangeRequest Form and presents the request to the Project Sponsor and/or Project Customer forreview, discussion, and disposition.

    2. The change request must be disposed (approved or rejected) within 3 business days aftersubmittal. This approval/rejection must be in writing. The project will not be adjusted untilthe change request is approved. If no reply is received within the timeframe, the change istreated as an issue.

    Change CriteriaThe change procedure will be used for any changes to the accepted Statement of Work,approved deliverables or approved change requests. A change request can adjust somethingprevious agreed to or define something that did not happen as planned. Examples include systemnot being available (lost time), people not performing their duties per the agreed roles andresponsibilities, changes to deliverables or project scope.

    ACCEPTANCE MANAGEMENT

    Acceptance ProcedureDeliverables are defined throughout the life of the project. These provide the building blocksthat move the project towards final completion. Acceptance of a deliverable means the customerhas given a go to use this deliverable as input to related future deliverables. Acceptance ofdeliverables on a timely basis is critical in order to avoid delays to the project. In order to ensuresmooth delivery and acceptance of all deliverables, the following process will be employed:

    1. The Project Manager provides the deliverable to the appropriate and authorized signor for

    review, accompanied by an Acceptance Form. The Acceptance Form includes a descriptionof the deliverable and the pre-approved acceptance criteria defined in the Statement of Workfor that deliverable.

    2. Acceptance must be in writing (no verbal approvals). E-mail approvals are acceptable if theyare explicit (that is, clear which deliverable is approved). A walkthrough of the deliverablewith the customer is the preferred means of securing approval.

    3. Acceptance must occur on a timely basis to avoid delays to the project. For this project,deliverables must be approved within 3 business days after receipt, unless an alternative time

  • 8/3/2019 Fiesta Pa Sow v1.5 Final

    25/25

    frame is mutually agreed upon. The Acceptance Form lists the specific due date to eliminateany confusion about when approval is needed to stay on schedule. If approval is not receivedon a timely basis, its lateness is treated as an issue. We never assume default acceptance orrejection. Rejections must specify what is unacceptable.

    Final AcceptanceAt the conclusion of the project, after all project deliverables are approved, a Final ProjectAcceptance form will be submitted to acknowledge completion of all work and fulfillment of allobligations under this Statement of Work (and as amended through approved change requests).
