Schedule margin guidelines for the Ground Segment Project are:<br />

• From ATP to segment factory Integration & Test (I&T): One month per year<br />

• From segment factory I & T through launch minus six months: two months per year<br />

• From launch minus six months to launch minus one week: One and a half months total<br />

• From launch to Operational Readiness Review : One month total<br />

Schedule margins less than those specified may be appropriate in some cases. There may be<br />

circumstances where schedule margins greater than those specified will be required. Any deviations<br />

between the actual and recommended schedule margins shall be agreed upon between the SPD and the<br />

respective project managers and require concurrence of the CMC and NESDIS.<br />

At monthly status reviews, project managers shall present their schedule margin status relative to the<br />

approved margins. If the schedule margin falls below the agreed-to levels, the presentations shall include<br />

explanations as to the reasons for the shortfall as well as a description of any activities initiated to<br />

mitigate the trend.<br />

5.2.2.2.2 Schedule Baseline Control<br />

The <strong>GOES</strong>-R Program and Projects will develop, maintain, and execute integrated master schedules and<br />

institute schedule management processes that:<br />

• Provide a controlled schedule baseline, encompassing all elements of the program/project WBS<br />

• Provide regular schedule performance measurement against the baseline, and current forecast-tocomplete<br />

• Provide hierarchical traceability from the detailed schedules to the highest level milestones which are<br />

controlled by the GPO<br />

• Identify critical path for management and control<br />

• Contain all critical milestones for internal and external activities<br />

• Provide schedule integration and traceability based on an end-to-end logic network format that relates<br />

all tasks and milestone dependencies from the project start to completion<br />

• Identify and control schedule reserve based on project risk and report monthly.<br />

Project Managers may augment the Critical Milestones (CM) that encompass the schedule baseline with<br />

additional milestones in the Program Master Schedule (MS) or Project Master Schedule (PMS) which<br />

highlight key events within project elements. These supporting milestones could include such events as:<br />

payload or spacecraft design reviews and deliveries, achievement of Technology Readiness Levels (TRL),<br />

or finalization of memorandums of understanding.<br />

The schedule baseline will be documented and controlled in the Master Schedule. The initial Program and<br />

Project milestone schedules have been established. Milestones appearing on the Program Master<br />

Schedule will be baselined and controlled as noted in the table below:<br />
