SCHEDULE CHANGES AND THRESHOLDS
To maintain control over the project timeline and ensure alignment with project objectives, it is essential to establish clear boundaries for acceptable schedule variations. These boundaries, known as control thresholds, define the extent of permissible deviations from the baseline schedule without necessitating formal change control procedures.
Control Thresholds
For this project, a control threshold of ±10% of the total project duration has been established. This means that any proposed change resulting in an increase or decrease of the overall project timeline by more than 10% compared to the approved baseline schedule will trigger a formal review and approval process. Such thresholds are standard practice in project management to ensure that significant deviations are appropriately evaluated and managed.
Change Request Process
When a potential schedule change exceeds the defined threshold, the following steps must be undertaken: 1. Initiation: A formal Schedule Change Request (SCR) must be prepared, detailing the nature of the change, the reasons for the deviation, and the anticipated impact on the project timeline. 2. Impact Analysis: The project team will conduct a comprehensive analysis to assess the implications of the proposed change on project deliverables, resource allocation, and overall objectives. 3. Approval: The SCR, along with the impact analysis, will be submitted to the Project Sponsor or designated Change Control Board (CCB) for review and approval. Approval must be obtained before implementing any changes that exceed the established threshold. 4. Implementation: Upon approval, the project schedule will be updated to reflect the approved changes, and all relevant stakeholders will be informed accordingly.
Minor Variations
Schedule changes resulting in deviations within the ±10% threshold is considered minor and can be managed at the discretion of the Project Manager. These changes should still be documented and communicated to relevant stakeholders to maintain transparency and ensure ongoing alignment with project goals.
SCOPE CHANGE
During project execution, it is common for changes to the project's scope to arise due to evolving requirements, stakeholder inputs, or unforeseen challenges. Such approved scope changes may introduce new deliverables or modify existing ones, necessitating adjustments to the project schedule. To ensure that the project remains aligned with its objectives, it is essential to assess the impact of these changes on the schedule and, if significant, re-baseline the schedule accordingly.
Assessing Scope Changes
When a scope change is proposed and approved, the Project Manager, in collaboration with the project team, will: 1. Evaluate the Impact: Analyze how the change affects the current schedule, including task durations, dependencies, resource allocations, and critical path activities. 2. Determine the Need for Re-Baselining: If the scope change significantly alters the project's timeline or resource requirements, consider re-baselining the schedule to reflect the new realities. Re-baselining ensures that the project plan remains a realistic and achievable reference point for monitoring progress. 3. Document the Change: Update all relevant project documentation to capture the nature of the scope change, its implications, and the decisions made regarding schedule adjustments. Re-Baselining the Schedule Re-baselining involves updating the project's baseline schedule to incorporate approved changes. This process ensures that future performance assessments are made against an accurate and current plan. The steps include: 1. Develop the Revised Schedule: Create an updated schedule that integrates the scope changes, adjusting tasks, durations, and resource assignments as necessary. 2. Obtain Approvals: Present the revised schedule to the Project Sponsor and other key stakeholders for review and approval. 3. Communicate Changes: Inform all project team members and stakeholders of the updated schedule, ensuring clarity on new timelines and responsibilities. 4. Monitor Against the New Baseline: Use the re-baselined schedule as the new reference point for tracking project progress and performance. By systematically managing scope changes and their impact on the schedule, the project can adapt to evolving requirements while maintaining control over timelines and resource utilization.

INTRODUCTION
The Cost Management Plan outlines the approach for planning, estimating, budgeting, managing, and controlling costs to ensure the successful completion of the Infrastructure Project Monitoring and Equipment Inventory System within the allocated budget. This plan is developed to maintain financial control and transparency, aligning with the fiscal policies and objectives of the 355th Aviation Engineer Wing, PAF.
This document establishes the standards and procedures for cost estimation, performance measurement, variance analysis, and cost change control. It ensures that project expenses are effectively managed throughout the project lifecycle.
COST MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Costs will be tracked and managed at task level based on our Work Breakdown Structure. The Project Manager is responsible for estimating, monitoring, and controlling all project-related expenses. Key cost areas such as development, training, and documentation will each be monitored individually. We will regularly discuss cost updates and concerns with the project sponsors to ensure alignment with expectations and address any issues early. This approach promotes transparency, accountability, and budget control throughout the project.
MEASURING PROJECT COSTS
The project will utilize Earned Value Management (EVM) techniques to track and evaluate cost and schedule performance. The following EVM metrics will be calculated and reported: • Schedule Variance (SV = EV − PV): Indicates whether the project is ahead or behind schedule. • Cost Variance (CV = EV − AC): Indicates whether the project is under or over budget. • Schedule Performance Index (SPI = EV ÷ PV): Measures schedule efficiency. • Cost Performance Index (CPI = EV ÷ AC): Measures cost efficiency. These indicators will provide insight into project performance, support forecasting, and guide decision-making.
REPORTING FORMAT Cost performance will be reported bi-weekly in a standardized format and will be included in the Monthly Project Status Report. The report will include: • Earned Value Metrics (SV, CV, SPI, CPI) • Variance Analysis • Forecasting data (EAC, ETC) • Cost-related risks and issues • Recommended corrective actions (if necessary) Reports will be distributed to the Project Manager and key stakeholders to enable informed decision-making and ensure financial oversight.
COST VARIANCE RESPONSE PROCESS
The project will follow a structured response process for handling cost and schedule variances: • Control Thresholds: CPI or SPI outside the range of 0.8 to 1.2 • If a variance triggers a threshold: o The Project Manager will present corrective action options to the Project Sponsor within five business days o Upon selection of the corrective action, a Cost Variance Corrective Action Plan will be submitted within three business days o The corrective plan will include actions, timelines, responsible parties, and metrics for measuring effectiveness o Once approved, the plan becomes part of the official project documentation Corrective actions may include rescheduling activities, reassigning resources, adjusting scope, or requesting additional funds.
COST CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS
All proposed changes to the project budget will follow a structured approval process to maintain financial discipline and transparency. Any cost-related changes—such as increased material expenses, additional development needs, or scope adjustments—must be reviewed and approved by the Project Sponsor before implementation. The Project Manager will prepare a formal Cost Change Request, outlining the reason for the change, the amount involved, and its potential impact on the project timeline or scope. This request will be submitted to the sponsor for evaluation. Once approved, the budget and related plans will be updated accordingly. To avoid delays, cost changes will be discussed during regular project review meetings or addressed promptly if they arise unexpectedly. This process ensures that all cost changes are justified, documented, and aligned with the project's financial goals.

3. WORKFORCE TRANSITION The original developers will phase out as system knowledge and control are transferred to designated AEW personnel. No re-badging is expected; instead, AEW staff will assume full operational roles post-handover. A readiness assessment will be performed to confirm that all AEW personnel are trained and equipped to manage the system before developer support is withdrawn.
4. WORK EXECUTION DURING TRANSITION Routine operations, such as system maintenance, ticket logging, and inventory updates, will continue during the transition. All work packages will be frozen for new feature development during this period. The focus will be on ensuring system stability, performing documentation audits, and conducting end-user training without disrupting current workflows. 5. PROPERTY TRANSITION
5.1. Intellectual Property All documentation, wireframes, database schemas, and user manuals developed under this project are considered project deliverables and will be transferred to 355TH AEW ownership. Any third-party tools or code libraries used will be documented with license references. NDAs have been signed between the student team and AEW to safeguard confidential project data. 5.2. User Accounts and Passwords System admin and standard user accounts will be transitioned securely. A complete table of credentials (with placeholders for updates) will be maintained and delivered to the AEW IT department. The original developers’ access will be revoked upon project closeout.
