A Project Management Plan is required for all Research Announcement projects and must be approved by the Project Technical Representative (PTR) upon submission to SCRA.
This guide has been created to assist project teams in developing a strong project management plan that reflects both the objectives of the project and the overall mission of the National Shipbuilding Research Program.
This template includes essential elements of a well-composed project management plan, including team structure, activities schedule, milestone schedule, budget, as well as any associated plans --communications plan, risk management plan, software development plan (if applicable), and technology transfer plan (required).
Also included are templates for technical and business quarterly reports, which are to be submitted on a quarterly basis to SCRA, who is responsible for reporting the status of current projects to the Navy. As noted in Article IX, Section E, Distribution Statement, of the Technology Investment Agreement, it a requirement that all data and reports be marked with a distribution statement to denote the extent of its availability for distribution, release, and disclosure without additional approvals or authorizations. It is important for project teams to become familiar with the Program distribution statements
