Using a combination of previously space - qualified and new development hardware and software Space
Technologies Corporation will design, assemble, integrate, and test a lightweight communications satellite
for a commercial communications provider.
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the Lightweight Communications Satellite Project is
presented below. This WBS has been extended down to Level Four. Below each of lowest - level WBS
elements are numerous activity-based tasks that must be accomplished to produce or deliver the item
specified at the fourth level of the WBS. For example, WBS element 1.1.3.4 Spacecraft Test Reports,
encompasses all the spacecraft-level testing that must be accomplished to produce the finished test
reports. These activities would include the spacecraft thermal vacuum test and the acoustic test, along
with various other activities associated with testing the entire integrated spacecraft.

Introduction
The various resource utilization and cash flow charts shown below were generated in Microsoft Project.
They were exported to Microsoft Excel for easier manipulation. These charts are based on optimum task
durations developed in earlier assignments and without regard to any resource constraints. The RBS,
WBS, and elemental estimates developed in earlier assignments have not been changed for this
assignment.
The five most used resources for the Lightweight Communications Satellite Project are: (1) Development
Engineer, (2) Test Engineer, (3) Test Technician, (4) Software Engineer, and (5) Administrative Assistant.
The following five charts show how each resource is expended from project start (May 2002) through
project completion (November 2004). For each of these five charts, the X-axis shows project time in
months, and the Y-axis shows monthly worker-hours.

The trend for the usage of the Development Engineer resource is clearly bi-modal. This reflects the fact
that Development Engineers in this project environment are heavily involved up-front in the initial design
of the spacecraft. They are not typically involved in the actual manufacture of the spacecraft, which is
why they are not utilized in the December 2003 and January 2004 timeframe. Their usage peaks again at
the end of the project as they verify that the as-built configuration conforms to the as-designed
configuration. This activity culminates in the release of the Spacecraft Sell Off Report.

Like the Development Engineer resource, the Test Engineer resource is also bi-modal, although this
resource is spread over a slightly different time period. Test Engineers are involved in the middle of the
program as test plans are developed. Their involvement declines as Layouts and Drawings are produced,
and final manufacturing plans are developed. Once the vehicle is integrated, the Test Engineer activity
again peaks as they become intimately involved in the testing of the satellite. They maintain a high level
of activity as final test reports are generated.

Test Technicians are only involved in the actual testing of the spacecraft. They do not play any role in test
planning. Therefore, all their activity occurs toward the end of the project as the spacecraft enters the test
phase. Their utilization continues through the end of the project as the test reports are written.

The Software Engineer resource also shows a bi-modal trend. Software Engineers are heavily involved in
initial design and development efforts. They must ensure early in the project that the various software
requirements are understood. Then during spacecraft manufacture, they must finish writing the software
code, install that code, and test it to ensure it meets the requirements.

In Chart 6 above, note the bi-modal spread of this resource. As explained earlier, Development Engineers
are involved in the initial design of the spacecraft. They are not typically involved in the actual
manufacture, which is why they are not utilized in the December 2003 and January 2004 timeframe. Their
usage peaks again at the end of the project as they verify that the as-built configuration conforms to the
as-designed configuration. This activity culminates in release of the Spacecraft Sell Off Report.

Chart 7 above shows the bi-modal nature of utilization for the Test Engineer resource. As explained
previously, Test Engineers are involved early in the program as test plans are developed. Their
involvement declines as layouts and drawings are produced and final manufacturing plans are developed
(October-November 2003 timeframe). Once the vehicle is integrated, the Test Engineer activity again
peaks as they become involved in the actual testing of the satellite. They maintain a high level of activity
as final test reports are generated. In contrast, Test Technicians are only involved in the actual testing of
the spacecraft. They also participate in the release of the test reports. This activity carries them through to
the end of the project.

To support WBS element 1.1, the Software Engineer resource is used early in the program to identify
software requirements and ensure that the design satisfies these requirements. Recall from Chart 4 that the
Software Engineer resource was bi-modal when the utilization of this resource was looked at from an
overall project perspective. The second peak occurred in the December 2003 and January 2004 period.
This peak does not appear in this chart because that particular activity supports WBS element 1.2
Spacecraft Payload. Note that utilization of the Administrative Assistant resource is required throughout
the project. The peaks in this resource utilization correspond to the generation of major project reports.

Chart 11 shows total monthly cash flow for the entire project. The X-axis shows project time in months
and the Y-axis shows costs in dollars.

Note the peak cost expenditure in December 2003. This corresponds to the manufacture of the spacecraft.
Immediately after this, costs are reduced until they peak again in May 2004. This corresponds to the
testing of the spacecraft. As mentioned in previous assignments, the spacecraft test phase is usually the
most expensive part of the project.

These last three charts show how the cash flow is distributed over time for each of the three WBS Level - 1
elements. For all three charts, the X-axis shows project time in months, and the Y-axis shows costs in
dollars. Chart 12 shows the cash flow for WBS element 1.1, Project Management.

The cash flow trend shown in Chart 12 above is very similar to the one shown in Chart 11 for the entire
project except, that there is no peak in December 2003. This peak is part of the WBS elements 1.2 and 1.3
and is captured in Charts 13 and 14 below.

WBS element 1.2, Spacecraft Payload, only covers the relatively short time period of December 2003 to
January 2004 when the spacecraft payload is assembled. Thus there is only one very high cash flow peak
in Chart 13 above. As can be seen in Chart 14 below, WBS element 1.3, Spacecraft Bus, exhibits a similar
trend. As in the case of the payload, the satellite bus is also assembled during December 2003 through
January 2004. Therefore, all the costs are concentrated in this short time period.

Table 2 below shows a summary of the compressed activities, a description of the proposed changes in
those activities to achieve the required schedule compression, the original and compressed durations, the
original and new total effort required, and the resulting increase in cost.
Table 3 provides a little more detail in terms of where the additional labor must be applied to achieve the
5 month reduction in the schedule. This table also shows more detail in terms of the additional costs. Note
that the Total Additional Resource Cost includes a 1.5 X normal labor rate scaling factor to account for
the overtime incurred in the second shift. Also note that the Duration column only reflects the amount of
effort brought in to allow for a second shift. It is not new scope.

As can be seen from Tables 2 and 3 above, the additional resources are concentrated in only three WBS
Level 3 elements: (1) 1.1.3.3 Subsystem Test Reports, (2) 1.1.3.4 Spacecraft Test Reports, and (3) 1.1.1.4
Spacecraft Sell Off Report. WBS element 1.1.3.3 represents all the subsystem-level testing that must
occur before the subsystems are assembled (integrated) together to form the satellite. WBS element
1.1.3.4 contains all the activities that must be accomplished to integrate and test the entire spacecraft.
Finally, WBS element 1.1.1.4 represents the effort that must be accomplished to verify the spacecraft was
developed, built, and tested correctly, and that it meets all requirements. There are many labor resources
applied to this last WBS element. However only the two resources (Test Engineer and Administrative
Assistant) that actually drive the task duration have been applied to a double shift schedule. Chart 1 below
shows the new compressed schedule from Microsoft Project.

Methodology used to calculate new effort resulting from changes in scope – Consider the case of
WBS Element 1.1.2.5, Subsystem Specifications. Although this task has already been completed, new
scope to the original effort has been added. Therefore a new WBS Element 1.1.2.5(a), Revise Subsystem
Specifications, has been added. The original task required 8032 worker-hours of effort within the Labor
resource area, and the scope was increased 7%. Thus the additional effort required is 562 worker-hours
(8032 x 0.07 = 562).
