About This Document

Project Oversight Process Memorandum – DoIT, July 2007

The “Project Management Plan” is a formal document approved by the executive sponsor and the Department and developed in the plan phase used to manage project execution, control, and project close.

The primary uses of the project plan are to document planning assumptions and decisions, facilitate communication among stakeholders, and documents approved scope, cost and schedule baselines.

A project plan includes at least other plans for issue escalation, change control, communications, deliverable review and acceptance, staff acquisition, and risk management.

“Project manager” means a qualified person from the lead agency responsible for all aspects of the project over the entire project management lifecycle (initiate, plan, execute, control, close). The project manager must be familiar with project scope and objectives, as well as effectively coordinate the activities of the team. In addition, the project manager is responsible for developing the project plan and project schedule with the project team to ensure timely completion of the project. The project manager interfaces with all areas affected by the project including end users, distributors, and vendors. The project manager ensures adherence to the best practices and standards of the Department.

“Project product” means the final project deliverables as defined in the project plan meeting all agreed and approved acceptance criteria.

“Product development life cycle” is a series of sequential, non-overlapping phases comprised of iterative disciplines such as requirements, analysis and design, implementation, test and deployment implemented to build a product or develop a service.

Project Management Plan for PERA RECORDS CONVERSION PROJECT

1.0 Project Overview

1.1  Executive Summary- rationale for the Project

This request is to bring the public employees' retirement association into compliance with 1.14.2 NMAC, Sections 12 through 14. We will be utilizing these funds for professional services to generate microfilm from an electronic image. Included will be system modifications to both the FileNet P8, and the retirement information online systems. The money requested will be utilized for an initial conversion of all of PERA's vital long term retention items, and will be a one-time initial fee. PERA has added funding for a yearly conversion of any new documentation imaged into the annual budget cycle to maintain and support the Records and Imaging Division’s legal retention items.

1.2 funding and sources

1.3 constraints

Number / Description /
1 / Assuring qualified personnel are available, so there are no delays in project funding.
2 / DOIT Project certification process, to ensure all documentation is correct and funds are released on time.

1.4 dependencies

Mandatory dependencies are dependencies that are inherent to the work being done.

D- Discretionary dependencies are dependencies defined by the project management team. This may also encompass particular approaches because a specific sequence of activities is preferred, but not mandatory in the project life cycle.

E-External dependencies are dependencies that involve a relationship between project activities and non-project activities such as purchasing/procurement

Number / Description / Type M,D,E /
1 / Scheduling quualifed HP and Softech personnel for the project / M
2 / Internal staff scheduling to ensure testing is completed and validated / M
3 / Doit project certification process, to ensure that all documenation is correct and funds are released on time. / E, M

1.5 ASSUMPTIONS

Number / Description /
1 / Files are received and validated from External Vendors, to ensure death and social security files are validated in an efficient process.
2 / Internal Staff Members are available for UAT regression testing.
3 / All preliminary Membership File Audits are completed prior to scheduled conversion dates.
4 / Microfilm services will be in compliance with all SRCA regulations.

1.6 Initial Project Risks Identified


[Risk 1 Data Cleansing and Auditing of Files]

Description – Data cleansing and Membership Files have not been properly audited / Probability 10% / Impact - Project delay and possible loss of vital agency data
Mitigation Strategy: Schedule Internal Staff Members and manage all data processing fully in UAT environments
Contingency Plan – Maintain all current data in the production environments until all regression testing is completed.

[Risk 2 Funding Delays]

Description – Funding Delays that will cause the creation of Microfilm to be delayed. / Probability – 5% / Impact – halt project/delay deliverables to SRCA
Mitigation Strategy – Ensure all funding is properly secured and encumbered.
Contingency Plan - Utilize other PERA Funds

[Risk 3 Microfilm is not in compliance with SRCA standards]

Description – Microfilm is rejected by the SRCA. / Probability – 25% / Impact – halt project/delay deliverables to SRCA
Mitigation Strategy – Create and provide proof of concept rolls for all phases of the conversion process. This will ensure that all Film is being generated correctly.
Contingency Plan - Create new film that will comply with SRCA standards.

The change request process will consist of documenting and approving any and all changes to the scope, project deliverables, or time frames defined in the original project.

2.3 Executive Reporting

3.0 Scope

3.1 Project Objectives

3.1.1 Business Objectives

Number / Description /
Bus. Objective 1 / Modification and implementation of a process that will readily identify deceased members and their accounts. This will allow for a stronger outreach to next of kin, to ensure that all membership accounts are properly refunded, or maintained through survivor beneficiaries. NMPERA will also be maintaining a certified copy of all NMPERA records, becoming in compliance with SRCA regulations and requirements.
Number / Description /
Bus. Objective 2 / Modification and implementation of a process that will properly process the destruction of electronic information, which will be incompliance with all SRCA regulation and guidelines.

3.1.2 Technical Objectives

Number / Description /
Technical Objective 1 / To update current RIO system and LOB databases with a process that will allow for the flagging, tracking and reporting of deceased members. This process will allow for NMPERA to properly destroy all electronic information held in the LOB data base.
Technical objective 2 / NMPERA will also be setting an automated process to update the LOB imaging database with dates of deaths, and dates of survivor information. Included in this process will be the creation of a bi-yearly microfilm creation process, which will also update both the imaging and the LOB database with information for auditing and tracking information.

3.2 Project exclusions

The RIO system and the FileNet P8 architecture and functionality will not be modified or replaced in the scope of this project. The only modifications that may need to be made are minor interface changes due to updated data requirements for both SQL databases.

3.3 Critical Success Factors

Number / Description /
1 – Compliance with SRCA regulation / Updating this process will assist the PERA Records Management programs to provide for long term legal retention of vital membership files.
2 – Updating RIO deceased member data / Creation of a process which will identify deceased members, will ensure that the PERA funds are protected from payments to deceased members.
3 – deletion of deceased rio and imaging data / By maintaining a proper process of destroying electronic data and images PERA will create a business lifecycle for membership files. It will also assist with creating business processes that will clearly state PERA responsibilities and liabilities with unclaimed property involved with the deceased member process.
4 – Improved system maintenance and backup creation and retention / The database maintenance performed during this updated process will assist with shrinking maintenance hours when creating data backups. PERA IT staff will have smaller data sets to maintain, and replicate to the offsite disaster recovery center.
