Goals and objectives are provided by NOAA executive management and are documented in the NOAA<br />
Consolidated Observational Requirements List (CORL). The CORL is traceable to agency objectives and<br />
goals with specific including the following factors: required characteristics of the system (i.e., reliability,<br />
performance, maintainability); number of and types of users of the system, and cost/budget estimates, and<br />
system need/availability date.<br />
Level I Requirements<br />
Mission requirements are derived from the CORL, validated by NOAA Observing System Council (NOSC), and<br />
are documented in the <strong>GOES</strong>-R Level 1 Requirement Document. The Level 1 requirements are managed by the<br />
GPO and controlled by the NOSC and DUS.<br />
Level II Requirements<br />
Program Control (Level II) Requirements are provided by NOAA to the GPO and are documented in the<br />
<strong>GOES</strong>-R <strong>MCP</strong>. Level II requirements provide the mission statement, program cost requirements<br />
including cost cap, cost management, and scope reduction and also identify budget, schedule, and<br />
operational constraints and margins.<br />
System (Level IIA) Requirements are provided by the GPO to the Flight and Ground Segment Projects<br />
and are documented in the Mission Requirements Document (MRD) and System Interface Requirements<br />
Documents (IRDs). The MRD, flowing down from the Level I requirements, contains high-level<br />
requirements for the Space and Ground Segment. Level IIA documents are managed and controlled by<br />
the GPO CCB.<br />
Level III Requirements<br />
Project Control (Level III) Requirements are provided by the GPO to the <strong>GOES</strong>-R Flight Project and<br />
<strong>GOES</strong>-R Ground Segment Project and are documented in the <strong>GOES</strong>-R Project Plans. Level III<br />
requirements are managed and controlled by the project CCBs.<br />
Segment/Components (Level IIIA) Requirements define the subsystems that meet the system (Level II)<br />
requirements and the interactions between those subsystems. Examples of Level IIIA documents are<br />
Inter-Segment Interface Requirements Document (IRD); Segment Functional and Performance<br />
Specifications (F&PS) for the flight and ground segments; and Mission Assurance Requirements<br />
Documents for each instrument. Level III requirements are managed and controlled by the Flight and<br />
Ground Segment Project CCBs. If a Class 1 change (form, fit, function, cost or schedule) violates a Level<br />
II requirement, the Flight and/or Ground Segment Project CCB will elevate the change for GPO CCB<br />
review, concurrence and direction.<br />
4.9 Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) Baseline<br />
The following figure shows an example of the WBS baseline. The <strong>MCP</strong> provides a foundation for all<br />
planning and execution activities.<br />
