Breaking Down Data Silos

Abstract

Siloed schedule data creates barriers to information sharing and collaboration. In short, siloed data is not healthy data. If schedule data isn't easy to find and use in a timely fashion (or can't be trusted when it is found) it isn’t adding value. Many programs, projects, and initiatives are accustomed to working in their own worlds with their own lingo, processes, and challenges. This culture of separation carries over to schedules. This presentation will showcase SCaN’s efforts to break down the silo mentality.

Contribution of Schedule Delays to Cost Growth: How to Make Peace with a Marching Army

Numerous research papers have shown that cost and schedule growth are interrelated for NASA space science missions. Although there has shown to be a strong correlation of cost growth with schedule growth, it is unclear what percentage of cost growth is caused by schedule growth and how schedule growth can be controlled. This paper attempts to quantify this percentage by looking at historical data and show detailed examples of how schedule growth influences cost growth. The paper also addresses a methodology to show an alternate approach for assessing and setting a robust baseline schedule and use schedule performance metrics to help assess if the project is performing to plan. Finally, recommendations are presented to help control schedule growth in order to minimize cost growth for NASA space science missions.
