UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE CONFERENCE OF EUROPEAN STATISTICIANS |
Working paper 2012/19 31 May 2012 |
High-level group for strategic developments in business architecture in statistics (HLG-BAS)
Meeting, 8 June 2012
BUSINESS PLAN FOR THE GSIM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Decisions requested from the HLG-BAS
The key decisions now requested from HLG-BAS as Project Sponsors in order to confirm planning and resourcing are:
1. Agreement to the business plan for the further development of GSIM V1.0 through to December 2012.
Confirmation of the business plan will complete Activity 2 of the GSIM Roadmap.
2. Acknowledgement and support for the project resource requirements and work program timeframes.
The support of HLG-BAS is crucial to ensure that the composition of the work teams includes the required expertise from national and international statistical agencies; and that these people have adequate time to contribute fully to the work. (See risks outlined in Section V: paragraphs 24 – 27).
3. Agreement in principle to the proposal for the Layer Integration Workshop
(See Annex 3).
GSIM Development Business Plan
I. Introduction
1. At a meeting on 26-27 April, HLG-BAS reviewed a roadmap outlining the work required to progress from GSIM V0.4, as delivered by Sprint 2, to GSIM V1.0 which could be applied in practice.
2. At this meeting, HLG-BAS agreed that work to develop GSIM should be run as the GSIM Development Project and requested a Business Plan to ensure the completion of GSIM V1.0 by December 2012.
3. This document presents the Business Plan requested by HLG-BAS. It addresses topics on the management and resourcing of the project.
II. Project overview
4. On 27 April, HLG-BAS considered the roadmap for the further development of GSIM. Figure 1 provides a high-level illustration of the proposed timeline for the GSIM Development Project and demonstrates the interdependencies between the project work-streams. Further detail on the ten high level tasks can be found in Annex 1.
Figure 1: High-level overview of the GSIM Development Project Roadmap
III. Governance and management of GSIM development project
Governance
5. HLG-BAS is the sponsor for the GSIM Development Project. Accordingly, project governance will be managed in line with the proposal in the HLG-BAS Strategy . It is suggested that five additional members join the HLG-BAS Secretariat to form a GSIM Development Steering Group (DSG) to oversee this project. This is in recognition of the significant leadership and investment of the Statistical Network (SN) in the GSIM development. SN members proposed to join the DSG are representatives from Sweden, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Italy.
6. A Project Manager (PM) will be appointed. They will be responsible for management, monitoring, co-ordination, reporting and delivery of all aspects of the project. A description of the Project Manager role is in Annex 2. The Project Manager will report regularly to the DSG.
7. The GSIM Integration Team (GIT) will provide specialist knowledge and expertise to ensure that a comprehensive, integrated product (GSIM V1.0) is derived from the work produced by the specialist teams. The Project Manager will convene the GIT.
Figure 2: Proposed governance structure for the GSIM development project
Project management and reporting arrangements
8. In order to be confident that the roadmap will be followed and produce GSIM V1.0 by December 2012, appropriate project management arrangements will be established quickly. This is essential so that activities along the critical path are completed on time. Work on the detailed Specification Layer is a particularly relevant in this regard.
9. Robust project management is needed to ensure the completion of the GSIM Development Project within the agreed timeframes. The project manager will ensure that:
Detailed project plans and reporting arrangements are in place for all activities;
Task teams are commissioned and briefed, team leaders are appointed and that teams follow a clear plan to ensure delivery of outputs by the due date;
Resource estimates reflect project requirements and are available to allow successful completion of all activities;
Agreed governance arrangements for the project overall and all activities within the project are implemented;
All project activities are aligned, integrated and deliver timely outputs consistent with expectations;
All stakeholders are appropriately informed about the progress of the project.
10. The project manager will develop standard, simple templates for the use of Task Team leaders for project planning, risk management and reporting.
Task Teams
11. A major program of work is required to complete the detailed work involved in the Specification Layer of the GSIM. For efficiency, four Specification Layer Task Teams (SLTTs), each with a focus on different parts of the GSIM model, will be commissioned to undertake this work. A draft of this detailed work will be completed by 31 August 2012.
12. A Modelling Team will be created to work with the SLTTs to develop a consistent, standards aligned, formal specification for GSIM. This team will also support the GSIM Integration Team in its work to develop GSIM V0.8.
13. Two smaller Task Teams will be appointed in late September 2012 to develop the User Guide to be released as part of GSIM V1.0 and the GSIM Communications Plan.
14. A full description of the role, deliverables, resourcing, scope and proposed membership for each Task Team is provided at Annex 2. Gaining commitment to membership for these groups is a critical dependency for the GSIM project.
Figure 3: Proposed Task Teams for completing initial design of GSIM Specification Layer
Managing Effective Collaboration and Communication
15. All project activities will be conducted through virtual communications, utilising online conferencing tools (i.e. Webex). The PM and team leaders will act as the contact points for communication across teams. All project working documents will be managed in a designated area on the UNECE wiki.
16. It is proposed that a one week workshop will be attended by members of the GSIM Integration Team, to review the consolidated design proposal for the Specification Layer and input received from external reviewers of GSIM V0.4. See Annex 3 for further details on the Layer Integration Workshop.
IV. Resource Requirements

18. There are two streams of funding for this project. The project will predominantly be resourced through ‘in kind’ contributions from statistical organisations providing the required business expertise for specified roles and work tasks.
19. The second stream of funding will be through financial contributions from Member States. This funding will help to fund a contracted professional as the Project Manager and the contracted experts for the Modelling Team. Contracts for these resources will be organised by the UNECE.
Project Manager
20. A project manager will be appointed for the duration of the GSIM development project. The project manager will assume overall responsibility for the co-ordinated and successful completion of this multifaceted program of work. The project manager will have strong leadership and negotiation skills. A key part of the role will be to anticipate and resolve risks and issues for the project before these have a serious impact on delivery of the work program.
21. The level of remuneration for the project manager will be commensurate with the professional skills and abilities they will be required to provide and the level of responsibility for delivering results they are expected to assume.
Modelling Experts
22. Expert consultants will be engaged to lead and inform the modelling required to design the GSIM and ensure that it can be applied to all types of statistics, in all countries.
V. Risk management
23. The project faces challenges in its implementation, due to the accelerated development timeframe and the subject matter complexity. As such, the key risks associated with the project relate to resourcing, project co-ordination and communication.
24. A risk management plan will be developed by the Project Manager as an early priority. The project manager will report on risk management to the DSG. A critical risk to be brought to the attention of HLG BAS is outlined in paragraphs 24 – 27.
25. The project is predominately resourced by ‘in kind’ contributions from a limited and highly valuable pool of expertise. The timing of the project, with major workload occurring in the northern hemisphere summer, may impact availability of expertise.
26. The Specification Layer Task Teams constitute a major body of work and require the largest contribution of expertise. Delays in formation and work progress in these teams will impact on the critical path for the entire project and also delay the delivery of GSIM V1.0.
27. It is critical that the project attracts sufficient support from statistical organisations to make available the required business expertise for sufficient time to complete development within the project schedule.
28. HLG-BAS can have a significant mitigating role by supporting and encouraging contributions from suitable experts to these teams.
29. Effective coordination of project activities will be required to ensure efficient and coordinated deployment of valuable resources. Managing cross-project communications will be critical, as well as informing, engaging and resolving perspectives from a diverse range of interested stakeholders.
VI. Stakeholder engagement and communications
30. Throughout the GSIM Development project, it is essential to ensure that the project maintains effective communication with interested stakeholders as well as effectively attracting and managing feedback on the GSIM drafts. A separate communication strategy (Activity 8) will be developed for the completed GSIM V1.0.
31. The project manager will maintain and update a project stakeholder register. Previous Sprint team members as well as the Sprint practitioner group will be regularly consulted by the Task Teams to provide input and feedback.
32. GSIM Development Project communications will include the following activities:
Keeping all Stakeholders informed and involved
Raising awareness of stakeholders about V0.8 draft for consultation
Seek feedback from main stakeholders on V0.8
Keep track of all correspondence and collating feedback responses.
Annex 1: Roadmap for the Development of GSIM V1.0
|
Activity 1: Develop Specification Layer
To be completed by 31 August 2012 |
This activity will take the longest elapsed time for the project and will require the most resources. The outputs from this work will feed into the Layer Integration Workshop.
Responsible: The four Specification Layer Task Teams supported by a Modelling Team.
|
|
Activity 2: Confirm management plan and resource plan for progressing from V0.4 to V1.0
To be completed by 8 June 2012 |
This Business Plan specifies the management plan for the GSIM Development Project and identifies the resources which must be made available in order to undertake it successfully.
Responsible: HLG-BAS / Secretariat Team
|
|
Activity 3: Establish and confirm an appropriate set of “use cases” for validation purposes
To be completed by 25 June 2012
|
Practical, well documented and readily applied “use cases” (detailed examples of business processes that GSIM needs to support) have been essential to support and validate development of GSIM to date and will remain so when progressing from V0.4 to V1.0.
Overall requirements for use cases, ensuring adequate representation of different types of production processes and different phases of the GSBPM, need to be established. The set of use cases defined to date can be assessed against these requirements and, if necessary, new use cases added and/or additional detail added to existing use cases.
Practical business process use cases will be essential material for reference and validation purposes for the task teams that develop the Specification Layer. They will also be used more generally to validate V0.8 of GSIM and the proposed V1.0.
Responsible: GSIM Development Steering Group / GSIM Integration Team
|
|
Activity 4: Manage external review process for GSIM V0.4
To be completed by 7 July 2012 |
GSIM V0.4 was released for general review onto the METIS wiki on 11 May, with comments closing by 15 June 2012. The comments will be put into a disposition log so that they can be reviewed by the relevant SLTTs and the GIT. These teams will decide whether, and how, each comment should be reflected in the design of GSIM V0.8.
Responsible: Project Manager / Specification Layer Task Teams / GSIM Integration Team |
|
Activity 5: Organise and conduct GSIM Layer Integration Workshop
To be conducted 17-22 September 2012 |
A one-week ‘Layer Integration’ workshop will be held from 17-22 September. The Workshop will bring together GSIM experts to: review the initial consolidated design proposal for the Specification Layer review proposed updates to the Overview Layer and Communication Layer based on reviewer feedback on GSIM V0.4
Responsible: GSIM Development Steering Group / Project Manager
|
|
Activity 6: Manage external review process for GSIM V0.8
To be completed by 29 October 2012 |
GSIM V0.8 will include all three layers, namely the Overview, Communication and Specification Layers. It will be released following the Layer Integration Workshop.
Reviewer feedback on V0.8 is due by the end of October 2012 and will feed into GSIM V1.0.
Responsible: GSIM Development Steering Group / Project Manager
|
|
Activity 7: Confirm governance processes for GSIM V1.0
To be completed by 27 August 2012 |
Governance arrangements for GSIM V1.0 and beyond include two important main requirements: Identify the process which needs to be followed in order to have GSIM V1.0 “confirmed”/”endorsed” so that it becomes internationally recognised as the first complete version of GSIM Identify what arrangements will be put in place to maintain and support GSIM after it is released as V1.0.
Responsible: GSIM Development Steering Group / HLG-BAS
|
|
Activity 8: Develop communication plan for GSIM V1.0
To be completed by 29 October 2012 |
There are a significant number of stakeholders to be informed about GSIM V1.0, and encouraged to harness it in practice. A communication plan will ensure that: appropriate supporting material is available when GSIM V1.0 is released; and stakeholders are informed, engaged and encouraged appropriately once GSIM V1.0 is released.
Responsible: Communication Plan Task Team
|
|
Activity 9: Prepare GSIM User Guide
To be completed by 29 October 2012 |
A User Guide will be developed to assist users in applying GSIM V1.0 for communication and specification purposes in a consistent and effective manner.
Responsible: User Guide Task Team
|
|
Activity 10: Finalise GSIM V1.0 Specifications
To be completed by 17 December 2012
|
After comments have been received from GSIM V0.8, the GSIM Integration Team will analyse and address the external review feedback on all three layers of GSIM V0.8 (Activity 6). It will draft the proposed specification of GSIM V1.0; including making sure that there is alignment and consistency between all elements of the GSIM V1.0 specification package. It is essential that the Communication Plan (Activity 8) and User Guide (Activity 9) are fully consistent with the GSIM V1.0 specification and are appropriate to support its release.
The final proposed specification for GSIM V1.0 would be introduced to HLG-BAS, and the expert groups associated with HLG-BAS, at the 2 nd annual workshop on Business Architecture for Statistics to be held on 7-8 November.
The specification will then be submitted to the high level approval process (yet to be determined) for having GSIM V1.0 recognised internationally. Depending on the process required for final approval, GSIM V1.0 is targeted for official release on 17 December 2012.
