HFT BNL review Feb 15 2013

 The review took place at BNL on Feb 15. The talks are given below, including the commitee report

HFT Management , including f2f meeting schedules

Management information for HFT.

There are several project specific mailing lists. Pertinent information on these can be found in this document

HFT management has roughly every 2-3 months face-to-face or phone conference meeting dealing with project status, and detailled sub-system reports.
The meeting content is usually placed on the STAR event drupal page. The list below includes the most recent, but not all historical links.

OPA mini-review October 2012

 One recommendation of the July OPA review was to conduct a mini-review in October, in particular to assess progress on SSD, but also to review progress on the few other recommendations.

The charge for the review was:

1. What is the status of the Silicon Strip Detector (SSD)?  Is management making progress towards addressing the technical issues of the SSD, and mitigating corresponding cost and schedule impacts?

2. Have there been any significant changes or risks affecting cost, schedule, and scope since the prior DOE/SC review?  If so, is appropriate management action being taken?

3.  Is the project addressing appropriately the recommendation(s) from the prior DOE/SC review(s)?

The review included 3 talks

- Overview F.Videbæk

- SSD Status J.Thomas

- Cost and schedule S.Morgan

The closeout had in essence the following recommendations:

      Submit BCR-4 to the NP Program Manager for review by November 1, 2012.

•         Update the risk register and report changes to the NP Program Manager monthly beginning November 1, 2012.
•          Provide preliminary summary lessons learned to date and corresponding project improvement actions to the NP Program   Manager by November 1, 2012.
•          Report planned versus actual percent complete at WBS Level-2 beginning with the next Monthly Report.
• ·         Conduct OPA mini-review in February 2013.

post CD-4 documents

 Following CD$ there has been a few follow-up reports. These reside on this page

The PXL group has created a report on the damage and repair plan for the PXL#2 detector. See word document

The project was also asked to update the transsition to ops document describing how to get to the optimum value.
This is attached below.

Quarterly meetings with DOE in FY15 to discuss progress

• January 9, 2015 presentation
• April 9, 2015 presentation
• July 9, 2015 presentation
• November12 presentation

At the November 12 meeting DOE acccepted that the UPP has been met, congratulated the efforts, and declared no further meetings are
required.
