WBS is the starting point for program success. It tells us what DONE looks like in terms of deliverables.
Integrated Master Plan (IMP) tells us how the increasing maturity of the deliverables will be assessed at each Program Event.
Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) tells us the order of the Work Packages needed to produce this increasing maturity.
Control Account Plan (CAP) defines the authorized scope, budget, and period of performance for the work that produces the deliverables defined in the WBS, assessed in the IMP, and sequenced in the IMS.

• The Statement of Work (SOW) and Concept of Operations
(ConOps) describes what capabilities are needed.
• The WBS defines all the program’s deliverables.
• The Integrated Master Plan (IMP) describes the
Accomplishments and Criteria needed to asses these
Accomplishments that move the deliverables maturity
assessment at the Event.
• The MOEs, MOPs, JROC and Program KPPs, TPMs describe the
needed technical attributes of the deliverables.
• The Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) shows the order of the
work performed to produce the deliverables.
• The Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) provides the evidence
that the plan is credible and executable.

• The contractor shall develop, test, integrate, and field five complete
(squads) of Tactical Situation Awareness Systems (TSAS) as defined in this
PWS.
• Background:
– The Army requires a system that will provide a division or below-level
commander with near real time beyond line of sight tactical enemy
intelligence. Such information will be provided through an autonomous
unmanned air vehicle (UAV) equipped with Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR),
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and the Full Motion Video (FMV).
– The Army envisions that a TSAS system will be deployed to an area of
engagement within 3,000 miles using two C-17s. The system must be able to
provide enemy intelligence over 196 square miles.
– The UAV and sensor segment must provide persistent coverage for 16 out of
24 hours; remain on station for 4 hours and record videos of the entire 196
square miles at least three times. The Army expects this UAV to operate no
higher than 15,000 feet above ground level.

6 Steps To Making These Connections
Step Outcome
❶
Define
WBS
§ With SOW, SOO, ConOps, WBS, and other program documents, develop CWBS
of system deliverables and work processes to produce the program outcomes.
§ Develop CWBS Dictionary describing scope of work and Criteria for the
successful delivery of these outcomes.
❷
Build IMP
§ Develop Integrated Master Plan (IMP), showing how each system element in
the CWBS moves through the maturation process at each Program Event.
§ Define Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) for each Accomplishment.
§ Define Measures of Performance (MOP) for each Criteria.
❸
Identify
Reducibl
e Risk
§ For each key system element in the CWBS, identify reducible risks, probability
of occurrence, mitigation plan, and residual risk in the Risk Register.
§ Risk mitigation activities placed in IMS and PMB to assure probability of
occurrence and probability of impact reduced.
§ For risks without mitigation plans, place budget for risk in Management
Reserve (MR) to be used to handle risk when it becomes an Issue.

Step Outcome
❹
Build the
IMS
§ Arrange Work Packages and Tasks in a logical network of increasing maturity
of the deliverables.
§ Define exit criteria for each Work Package to assess planned Physical
Percent Complete to inform BCWP using TPM, MOP, MOE, and Risk
Reduction activities in support of Accomplishments in the IMS.
❺
Adjust for
Irreducible
Risks
§ For irreducible risks in the IMS, use Reference Classes for Monte Carlo
Simulation anchored with Most Likely duration to calculate needed schedule
margin.
§ Assign schedule margin tasks in the IMS, to protect the key system
elements, per DI-MGMT-81861 guidance.
❻
Establish
PMB
§ Using risk adjusted IMS, calculate needed Management Reserve (MR) to
account for the latent risks in the Risk Register.
§ With deterministic IMS and its embedded Schedule Margin and
Management Reserve for latent risk, determine the resulting confidence
level of the PMB.
