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 />
