Key Project Goals Obtain Funding Have 5M(FY21) carry-forward from FY20. Distributing.Made FY22 request. Overall DOE- SC- OHEP- CMB-S4 funding not known. Stimulus?MSIP & MSRI-1 support ongoing work through FY21Proposals to support FY22 and beyond to be submitted before FY21 endsComplete Status and Gate Reviews DOE NSF NSF-led MRSI-1 status review by about mid-May. Received charge, working on agenda.Tentative dates May 11-12DOE-led status review? Not decided but probable in summer.NSF Preliminary Design Review - CRITICAL milestone. End of CY21? Plan on this now.DOE Critical Decision 1(CD-1) Review - CRITICAL milestone. End of CY21? Challenging.Director’s Reviews will precede(by 6 weeks or so) DOE status, PDR and CD-1 reviewsMake Technical Progress Principal subject of this collaboration meeting4

Reporting Regular reporting to the NSF and DOE began months ago DOENSF Quality and detail of DOE and NSF reports expected to improve as designsmature, test results come in, etc Financial reporting (specifically for the DOE but similar for NSF) Required monthly from all institutions that receive fundingExperience suggests will be painful initially but it’s essentialDown the road will feed into EVMS systemsPlease respect this reporting need11
Project Documentation Update Policy and procedures for using CMB-S4’s official document repository,DocDB, is posted to cmbs4-doc-664. Accessible using your CMB-S4credentials.Project Configuration Management Plan, defining approval and revisionprocesses for project documentation is posted to cmbs4-doc-238.Technical requirements are loaded to management tool, Jama. Project Design Review Policy and Procedures posted to cmbs4-doc-673. Still a lot of work required to update and approve requirements and interfaces.L2 Conceptual Design Reviews scheduled for May and June (dates listed here)Review Recommendations tracked in this google sheetMeeting materials and links to relevant information are in Confluence.Project CAD Policy and Procedures posted to cmbs4-doc-661.12
Key Project Technical Issues There are many, many design and technical issues to be addressed at thiscollaboration meetingKeys to moving forward with the Project are given belowScope. Is it right and can we, project management, defend it?Technical readiness pass conceptual design reviews(or better)Cost containment. Cost growth at this stage of a project is a norm. Must keepcosts(including risks) at forefront of technical development Interplay among requirements flowdown, detectors, readout and modulesManufacturability, minimize complexity of detectors/readout.think cheapFlowdownModulesDetectorsMeetings organized by B. FlaugherParallel sessions at this collab. mtg.Readout Other area of potential concern now: cost of working at the Pole, how accounted by NSF13
Conclusions Substantial progress in developing the CMB-S4 Projectstructure since August 2020 when LBNL was designated aslead laboratory Project “machinery” now coming together and will be used toprepare for agency status and gate reviews later this year orearly 2022 Formal technical design reviews for all major elements to becompleted by this summer Cost and schedule to be updated this summer Critical to advance Preliminary Baseline Design and relatedReport in time for upcoming reviews14

LBNL Earned Value Management System Introduction Revision 5.4 February 2009 1 of 56 INTRODUCTION Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory operated by the University of California (UC), uses an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) to integrate project management elements required for
The EVMS provides for effective project planning and control and is designed around the integration of technical scope, schedule, and budget with existing LBNL policies and procedures as defined in the Earned Value Management System (LBNL-EVMS) Description. The primary objective of the EVMS is to verify that all elements of a project are
