This review was jointly performed with IAS Pre-implementation review of F$M.

NERSC-8 IPR (CD2/3)4th QtrExternalDOE O 413.3BAnnualCompletedFebruary 2014February 2014BurdensomeNecessary, but some efficiencies could be realized.

There is a lot of overlapping and redundant documentation required for these reviews that don't help improve the project. The PEP (Project Execution Plan) is actually a pretty useful document. As someone who has managed a project and been a reviewer of projects the PEP is where I go to first. Beyond the PEP, the documents become less useful. For example, the Acquisition Strategy document is just a cut and paste of a subset of the PEP. (This is what just about every project manager I've spoken to does in practice.) The problem is that all the documents are supposed to be updated but having multiple documents that are just copies of each other ends up propagating errors. Instead of making the project more clear, the documentation leads to confusion. Another concrete example is that risks have to be discussed in 4 separate project documents, the PEP, the Acquisition Strategy, the Risk Management Plan and the Risk Registry. If the documentation could be streamlined, I think this would reduce the burden of external reviews and result in no negative impacts.

SC Surveys5/31/14ExternalBSO OversightAs neededOct 2013Sept 2014BurdensomeUnnecessary at times and almost certainly damaging.

Requesting detailed information about a security vulnerability while we are addressing the vulnerability redirects resources from addressing the vulnerability to reporting. This directly impacts Berkeley Lab's ability to effectively address the vulnerability, placing the Lab at risk.
These are extremely unpredictable since they are often related to security vulnerabilities and appear with almost no notice. Also, since we are often reporting on a dynamic situation, the format and amount of information that is requested can change while in the process of collecting the data.

While we understand the need to keep the lines of communication open, we recommend greater care be taken in the amount and type of information being requested.
