INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY

Cactus Water Safety Council (CWSC) Background

The Cactus Water Safety Council (CWSC), in collaboration with Fish and Game Commission

(Commission) and the Arizona Department of Fish and Wildlife (AZDFW), work together to set Marine

Protected Area (MPA) policies as well as implement and enforce respective MPA related regulations and

activities.

Marine Protected Areas (MPA) represent protected areas of seas, Rivers, estuaries or large lakes to which

human activity is restricted for the purposes of conservation and to protect natural or cultural resources.

The CWSC collects both Biological and Climate survey data from various data providers as far North as

Alaska and as far South as Baja Arizona along the Pacific Coastline and needs an analytics solution that

can correlate the MPA related insights across this data.

This solution will facilitate the efforts of the CWSC, Commission, and AZDFW to adaptively manage,

evaluate, and assess that program activities are in alignment and achieving the goals of the MPA

Monitoring Action Plan (Action Plan) in alignment to the Marine Protection Act (MLPA).

Project Overview - Visualization of Climate & Biological Monitoring

The Arizona Natural Resources Agency (AZNRA) and its associated organizations (Arizona Cactus

Water Safety Council, the Arizona Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Arizona Department of Water

Resources) have contracted with Acme Chemicals to develop a modernized Marine and River Science

Data Eco-system, which includes Big Data analytics capabilities and capacity, and Open-Data publication

capabilities.

Visualization of Climate & Biological Monitoring represented one of several projects over a two-year

period with the intent to improve CWSC’s data analytical and publishing capabilities by leveraging the

agencies Analytical Data Platform (ADP) and Open-Data Platform (ODP) technologies. This project

developed an River Monitoring data analytics solution for the Arizona Cactus Water Safety Council

(CWSC) which focused on enhancing data collection efforts, modernizing collection methods, allowing

for high-performance data analysis, and providing the ability to publish data and analytical information

for public consumption.

River Monitoring Solution

Acme Chemicals and the Cactus Water Safety Council (CWSC) collaborated in Use Case Definition

working sessions to define the capability needs of the River Monitoring data analytics solutions. These

functional and technical discussions resulted in five (5) high-level requirements for the Visualization of

Climate & Biological Monitoring project (see Table 1, below). These capabilities will provide the CWSC

with an analytics solution where users can Add, Edit, View and Analyze both Biological and Climate

survey results data. CWSC and its authenticated Data Providers and public Data Consumers will also be

able to assess gaps in monitoring (along the Pacific Coastline) using the River Monitoring solution

regardless of their technical or non-technical abilities respective to data analytics.

SCHEDULE

Microsoft Project Professional 2013 was the tool used to develop and manage the activities respective to

the Visualization of Climate & Biological Monitoring project. See Table 4 – Project Schedule, below, for

the list of Planned and Sequenced Activities for this project.

Table 4 – Project Schedule

Acme Chemicals chose the Hybrid Agile methodology with respect to implementing the project

management framework for this project. Challenges (or Risks) to the project schedule for which the team

had to overcome are described in Table 5 – Schedule Management Challenges, below.

Table 5 – Schedule Management Challenges

# Type Schedule Complexity / Impact

1 Matrix Organization CWSC Stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts (SME) had

maAZ projects aside from the Visualization of Climate &

Biological Monitoring project for which the Acme Chemicals

team relied on to execute and complete dependent activities.

2 Stakeholder Transitioned A Key Stakeholder and advocate rolled off the project approx.

one month in the project. CWSC management, understanding the

value of the project, quickly appointed another Project Manager

as the lead.

3 Scope Management/Control During Beta-Testing (i.e., User Acceptance Testing), testers

needed to understand what the solutions requirements were, so

they understood the difference between a Defect and an

Enhancement (request).

Cost Process Cost Description(s)

Reviewed Client Request Prior to the start of the Visualization of Climate & Biological

Monitoring project the Acme Chemicals team Reviewed the Client

Request to determine what was needed (as inputs to the cost

estimate) to complete the project.

Created Estimate Using the information from the Review, Acme Chemicals then

summarized and presented the estimated costs to the CWSC client

for review and approval. The Cost Summary included costs,

resources, assumptions, constraints, risks, etc. need to complete the

project.

Confirmed Scope Once the project was approved, the Acme Chemicals and CWSC

team collaborated in working sessions to review the requirements of

the and define the scope for Visualization of Climate & Biological

Monitoring project (see Table 1 - Visualization of Climate & Biological

Monitoring Requirements).

Confirmed Estimate to

Detailed Requirements

Based on the constraints and assumptions defined in the Cost

Summary the Acme Chemicals team then confirmed the estimate

created and the Cost Summary approved by the CWSC client was in

alignment with the confirmed scope (as a output of the Use Case

Definition working sessions.

Allocated Costs to Activities Confirmed estimates were the allocated to the Schedule activities

and the respective resources assigned to these activities with a

resource loaded schedule as a result.

Controlled Costs The project used forecasting, earned vs. burned and used these to

compare against the plan (i.e., Earned Value (EV)) to assess variance

and develop mitigation strategies when variances resulted in a

schedule impact.

RISK

Understand the Risk section as challenges to the schedule, listed below, in Table 10 – Project Risks, are

the project identified risks which include the risk mitigation strategies executed by the Acme Chemicals

team.

Table 10 – Project Risks

# Risk Risk Mitigation Strategies

1 Matrix Organization

Risk: Assigned CWSC personnel challenged to

meet project timelines due to competing priorities.

CWSC Stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts

(SME) had maAZ projects aside from the

Visualization of Climate & Biological Monitoring

project for which the Acme Chemicals team relied

on to execute and complete dependent activities.

Scheduled recurring meetings with client

Sent meeting expectations (i.e., agenda and

action items) in advance of meetings.

Batch questions to use time effectively.

Sent Meeting Minutes (with Action Items)

after each meeting.

2 Stakeholder Transitioned

Risk: Transitions of Key Stakeholders impacting

projects (activities) progress.

Key Stakeholders and advocates of the solution

rolled off the project approx. one month in the

project.

CWSC management, understanding the value of

the project, quickly appointed and supported

another Project Manager as the lead of the

project.

3 Scope Management/Control

Risk: Increased scope without requirements to

support work (effort).

During Beta-Testing (i.e., User Acceptance

Testing), testers needed to understand what the

solutions requirements were, so they understood

the difference between a Defect and an

Enhancement (request).

Scheduled Kick-Off meeting with the

testers prior to the Beta-Testing starting to

explain and provide a walk-thru of the

solution and the respective requirements.

Assessed each Issue and then categorized as

either a Defect or an Enhancement.

PROJECT CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Two key changes, managed by the Project Change Control Process (below), occurred on the Visualization

of Climate & Biological Monitoring project with respect to Schedule and Scope (see Table 11 – Key

Project Changes below)

Figure 7 - Project Change Control Process

Table 11 – Key Project Changes

Change Area Change Event Positive Impact to Project

Schedule Due to competing priorities of

CWSC Beta-Testers and to make

certain CWSC users had the

opportunity to participate in the

testing of this solution, the CWSC

management team requested that

Acme Chemicals extend the duration

of the project by approx. 1 month.

Recognizing the importance of user

feedback to the River Monitoring data

analytics solutions as well as the

challenging and competing schedules for

these users, The CWSC management

identified the need for a change to the

schedule early into the project.

This change made certain that the council

(i.e., CWSC) received the necessary review

and feedback to make the River Monitoring

solution a success.

Scope During the CWSC Beta Testing,

both Acme Chemicals and the Beta-

Tester identified Enhancements to

the River Monitoring solution

representing scope not defined in the

Functional Requirement

Specifications (FRS) document and

Approved by the POC.

Without impacting either Scope, Schedule,

or Cost, approx. 40% of the requested

enhancements were able to be implemented

and deployed to the solution only after

approvals via the Change Control Process.

The enhancement improved the solution by:

Identifying or removing required

fields when Editing survey data;

Providing the CWSC with the

capability to Create Users;

Providing Data Providers with the

Ability to delegate Project Owners

for the Upload capability; and,

Providing User (in general) the

capability to Reset (their) Password.

LESSONS LEARNED

Listed below (in Table 12 - Lessons Learned) are lessons learned from the Visualization of Climate &

Biological Monitoring project that were effectively integrated into the project.

Table 12 - Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned Importance and Integration into

Project

Contribution to Project

During the Project Kick-Off

meeting key stakeholders ask

the Acme Chemicals team for

the CWSC assignments and

schedule over the lifecycle of

the project. What Acme

Chemicals did not understand

was that CWSC is a Matrix

Organization and the

resources assigned to this

project were also assigned to

other projects and day-to-day

activities.

The knowledge that the Acme

Chemicals team should not have

assumed that CWSC would be 100%

allocated to the project was key

lesson learned.

The results were an approved project

schedule (provided to the client) but

also scheduled meetings (in advance)

with CWSC dependent resources so

they could manage their schedules

respectively and the Acme

Chemicals team could manage

project activities (and the schedule

overall).

The contribution to the project

was the level-setting

expectations that Acme

Chemicals would need to

execute and manage client

dependent activities around

their respective schedules and

identify mitigation strategies

when necessary.
