Responsibilities

• Capture planning details in the scheduling tool, including tasks, activities, deliverables, timelines, event‑level requirements, and levels of effort.
• Ensure schedule structure aligns with government and industry best practices (GAO‑16‑89G, Schedule Assessment Guide).
• Coordinate and integrate multiple program office schedules, incorporating internal program activities, contract processing milestones, projected contract award dates, and external events such as military exercises.
• Assess spend plans and apply EVM concepts to provide leadership with indications of program health.
• Prepare and present schedule updates to senior leadership, highlighting critical path concerns, schedule risks, and program status without overwhelming them with detail.
• Engage with engineering, operations, logistics, and service stakeholders to collect planning data and maintain situational awareness across product development, capability deployment, and joint experimentation activities.
• Coordinate information across geographically dispersed teams to maintain synchronization.
• Identify and schedule resources to ensure balanced capacity and minimize conflicts across development, deployment, experimentation, and joint exercises.
• Identify required systems, equipment, cloud/on‑prem resources, networks, and infrastructure needed to support experimentation, and integrate them into the IMS.
• Identify and report cost and schedule risks; propose mitigation strategies beyond simple schedule adjustments.
• Develop, integrate, and manage scheduling activities that comply with program or product requirements.
• Perform schedule updates, recovery planning, and “what‑if” analysis for development, deployment, and event execution.
• Monitor execution toward milestones, technical readiness criteria, integration timelines, and key events.
• Support data collection and timeline interpretation for leadership briefs and program reviews.
• Develop schedule metrics aligned with the Requirements Verification Traceability Matrix (RTVM) and recommend updates to improve program monitoring and reporting.
