H-SAF Project Plan 2.0, October 2007 - Update PP-2.2, 10 April 2008 - Chapter 1 (Introduction) Page 17 1. Introduction - Purpose of the Project Plan This Project Plan elaborates with higher detail the work programme outlined in the Development Proposal [Ref. 2]. In respect of the Development Proposal this Project Plan will: • streamline all parts originally included for highlighting principles and deploying possible options; • focus on the solutions finally adopted for implementation, providing further details if necessary; • expand all implementation details, including responsibilities and development steps. It follows that the original Development Proposal is not superseded at all by this Project Plan. On the contrary, the content and amplitude of the scientific discussions continue to be a reference. The activities to be actually performed during the Development Phase will instead be described to a fair degree of detail, particularly as regards the members of the Consortium that, not being Cluster leaders, did not have their activity enough well described because of volumetric limitations (the Development Proposal was 159 pages long, exceeding by far the EUMETSAT requirement for a compact document). The main objective of this Project Plan is to closely connect the activities to the envisaged development schedule, so as to have available a tool to monitor work progress across the 5-year Development Phase, specifically in the occasion of the Review meetings scheduled at approximately 6-month intervals. By developing the Project Plan as interlinked with the development schedule, it will be possible to identify the achievements visible to the Users at several points during the project, when successive versions of the various products will be released, after approximately 2 years and 3.5 years from start, and at the end of the Development Phase. Therefore, a major objective of this Project Plan is to identify the benchmark tests to be input in the User Requirements Document (URD), that constitutes the official statement for EUMETSAT to control the achievements of the H-SAF objectives. The structure of the first version of the Project Plan (PP-1.0) was designed so as to streamline the activity of monitoring work progress. Since there are 12 Participants to the Consortium, and four main activity streams, writing the detailed work programme and establishing all necessary links for programme control would have been extremely complex. To overcome the problem, PP-1.0 was structured by Country, each participating Country being responsible of a sort of sub-programme, as much as possible self-standing. With this PP-2.0, now that each Country is well aware of its commitment to the Project, the structure has been changed so as to provide the external observers with better appreciation of the data generation and assessment flow. PP-2.0 is structured by “Cluster”, i.e. the four thematic areas composing the Project (Precipitation, Soil moisture, Snow and Hydrology). On top of them, there is the Management area, encompassing activities common to the four thematic areas. The first version of the Project Plan, PP-1.0, submitted by Italy after consolidation by the Project Team, was discussed at the Requirements Review (RR) at approximately T 0 + 6 months (actual date: 26-27 April 2006) and approved by the Steering Group (SG) at its 2 nd meeting (SG-2), on 28 April 2006. The updated version, PP-2.0, was due at approximately T 0 + 24 months and it is actually delivered on 31 October 2007 to the Critical Design Review (CDR) scheduled for 17-18 December 2007, to be thereafter approved at SG-5 on 19 December 2007.
