PROJECT PROPOSAL
Background
Project Goals
Problem / Opportunity
Resolution Proposal
Recommendation and Summary
BACKGROUND
Dassault Systems produces CATIA V4 software Code.
ABC Aircraft Manufacturing Company XXX Airplane Program is the next new airplane
to be build .
XXX New Airplane Program requirement request - capability to release engineering
CAD/CAM drawings with CATIA V4 Code.
Engineering release date May 3rd, 2011
Software Life Cycle Development and implementation target timeframe is approximately
9 – 12 months
PROJECT GOALS
Develop rigorous risk assessment processes to gain understanding of
software known and unknown risk
Identify key software risk categories (i.e. change management,
configuration management) early stages to reduce risk and impacts.
Reduce cost impacts associated with software risk.
Deliver software quality products to customers.
Avoid schedule delays and eliminate risk to timely delivery of CATIA V4
software product.
PROBLEM / OPPORTUNITY
CATIA V4 Software (S/W) is a new product which has never
been released into ABC infrastructure.
Potential Cost budget overruns
Schedule delays due to unknown risk and impacts.
Decreased Software product quality
Delayed Airplane deliveries to Airline Customers
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Successful CATIA V4 Software implementation
SEI Taxonomy Based Questionnaire (TBQ).
Software Life Cycle Development Best Practices are documented and
followed.
3D CAD/CAM parts, assemblies, and installations capability available
on distributed workstations.
Increase airplane sales and revenue gains
SCOPE
ABC Airplane Manufacturing Company increased sales and
revenues
