Program Manager: Review for effect on schedule, cost, units in the field, and customer impacts

April 8, 2011

o  Will units in the field require updating? How will this be accomplished?

o  Will schedules need to be updated? How will this affect the customer, other product or programs?

o  Does the change require approval form the customer?

o  Will the change affect any system component that affects critical properties such as safety and security, or involve a product change that triggers recertification of any kind?

o  How will the proposed change affect the sequence, dependencies, effort, or duration of any tasks currently in the project plan?

o  Will prototyping or other user input be required to verify the proposed change?

o  How much effort that has already been invested in the project will be lost if this change is accepted?

o  Will the proposed change cause an increase in product unit cost, such as by increasing third-party product licensing fees?

o  Will the change affect any marketing, manufacturing, training, or customer support plans?

o  Are there any impacts on contracts or warranties?
