This book was released on 1981 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-109 directs Federal agencies to develop guidance to manage their major system acquisitions. The Department of Energy (DOE) has spent more than 2 years developing directives in accordance with OMB Circular A-109 and recently issued the final directives for its major systems. These systems are very costly, complex projects. GAO reviewed the development and procurement of such projects to find out what problems remain. GAO found that DOE had not adequately identified its mission areas. Major headquarters offices did not prepare mission analyses to identify and set priorities for the agency's requirements. DOE management lacked total commitment to support project management, thereby limiting the role and authority of the project manager. This was evidenced by the limited number of approved project manager charters, project plans, and project management plans. In addition, the project manager generally operates under two levels of authority; a field operations manager and the Washington headquarters manager. The review and evaluation of major system acquisitions by the DOE advisory board was limited because pertinent documentation, such as independent cost estimates, approved project plans, and project management plans, was missing.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Energy has been at the center of many of the greatest achievements in science and engineering in this century. DOE spends billions of dollars funding projects-and plans to keep on spending at this rate.

This book was released on 2002-01-31 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Energy (DOE) is engaged in numerous multimillion- and even multibillion-dollar projects that are one of a kind or first of a kind and require cutting-edge technology. The projects represent the diverse nature of DOE's missions, which encompass energy systems, nuclear weapons stewardship, environmental restoration, and basic research. Few other government or private organizations are challenged by projects of a similar magnitude, diversity, and complexity. To complete these complex projects on schedule, on budget, and in scope, the DOE needs highly developed project management capabilities. This report is an assessment of the status of project management in the Department of Energy as of mid-2001 and the progress DOE has made in this area since the National Research Council (NRC) report Improving Project Management in the Department of Energy (Phase II report) was published in June 1999.
