Project Development and Implementation

Section 1
1.1 Justification of Project
A Sentry aircraft incident relating to a failure of the portable fire fighting oxygen supply during an
emergency resulted in insufficient oxygen for the crew when dealing with the emergency. This led
to an urgent modification being issued by the Sentry Delivery Team (DT). Mitigation has been put
in place until this modification can be installed, but the mitigation has limitations on the amount and
type of passengers our platform can carry. The author is the desk officer who has the responsibility
for all aspects of the platform and capability and will be by default the Project Manager (PM). This
project was to find a permanent solution to ensure the risk was As Low As Reasonably Possible
(ALARP), thus providing assurance to our safety chain.
1.2 Project Deliverable
The plan of this safety modification based on the alignment of the successful integration of a new
oxygen system on the aircraft, which would provide a safer environment to fly in.
The deliverables of the project are:
 Fully functional and adequate emergency oxygen system
 System design
 Updated aircraft documentation set
 Trial plan
 Implementation plan
The completion of the project would allow the aircraft to operate to its maximum capability and
adhere to latest safety guidance.
1.3 Project Descriptions
Budget: The project budget would include the cost and expenses of the budget for the finishing of
the installation of the oxygen system. This will come from aircraft program costs and will have to be
budgeted and prioritised accordingly. Since this is a safety modification, it will be a top priority.
Duration:
 Phase one: Define what the problem is and Produce a Statement of Requirement (SOR)
 Phase two: Distribute the SOR, bring together internal and commercial stakeholders. This will
allow a better understanding of the route to contract.
 Phase three: Delivery of modification. Detailed Statement of work, interweaved into aircraft
availability.
Main Stakeholders: The stakeholders of the project would include the Customer, project manager,
sponsor, end users and project team members. They are the crucial stakeholders of the project
aligning the finishing of the works successfully. They are;
Main Stakeholders. There are eight key stakeholders:
 The Station Commander (Delivery Duty Holder)
 DE&S commercial lead - Delivery Team
 Project manager – Project Team Lead
 Aircraft Authority
 Sponsor
 Project Subject Experts
 Requirements manager
 Operators
Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders

Section 2
2.1 Detailed Stakeholder Negotiation Strategies
Timescales and targets
 PM present route to success to the Project Sponsor, this needs to take place in XXXXXXX so
that authority can be granted in order to commence work ASAP.
 Tranche 1 by 07 May 2021: The PT should engage through capability integration working
groups to fully understand the problem though detailed, planning and analysis. This should
include reaching out to internal delivery teams and other operators of the Boeing 707. The
should culminate in an aligned SOR that can be endorsed by the PM and taken forward to
commercial for consideration.
 Tranche 2 by 20 Aug 2021: Presentation of the SOR to the Delivery Team (DT) stakeholders.
This will allow the DT to have a full understanding of the requirement to enable the drafting of a
Business Case. During this process the PT should fully support the DT, this will allow the DT to
fully consider the following areas;
o Impact on front line operations
o Priorities
o Trial period
o Modification restrictions
o Security implications
o Safety concerns
o Training courses
