Overview TRIUMF has established a Project Oriented Management System. In this system, the allocation of any TRIUMF resource will be keyed to a specific project or commitment on an official Commitments List that has been approved by Senior Management and the Director. | | Background In January 2009 TRIUMF set up a Project Management Working Group to initiate a new project management system at TRIUMF. The new system is in place and descriptions of the new sytem are linked on this page. | | Project Management TSOP The details of the project management system is in the TSOP-15. This is the definitive document describing how projects are managed at TRIUMF. |
The Project Charter Sheet The Commitment Summary Sheet
The first step in initiating a new project at TRIUMF is to submit a Project Charter Sheet to the Chair of the Project Management Oversight Group. The forms and instructions for filling them out are available through the above link. Gate and Status Reviews require a similar sheet, the Commitment Summary Sheet, to the filled out by the project proponent and vetted by the review committee, | | The Commitments List All projects and ongoing commitments at TRIUMF are on the Commitments List. This is a controlled document approved by the TRIUMF Director. Only commitments on this list can access TRIUMF resources. A redacted version of the list is available here. The current up to date version is available online. | | Project Approval Criteria For a project to be approved it must satisfy the set of criteria given in the Project Approval Criteria document. |
Gate Review Mandates As outlined in the project management TSOP, each project must go through a series of Gate and Status reviews. Generic mandates for the different reviews can be found through the above link. | | Project Management Oversight Group
This group resolves problems in projects, trouble-shoots issues, is responsible for the general implementation and oversight of the project management system, and is a resource for project leaders. | | Time Sheet Instructions An important part of resource management at TRIUMF are time sheets. They must be filled out by all TRIUMF employees at the end of each month. Accumulated time sheet data is available here. |
Tracking Number Each commitment, either project or operational, has associated with it a unique tracking number. This number, as its name implies, is used for tracking. All requests for TRIUMF resources are to be tied to the tracking numbers. This includes Requests for Engineering Assistance (REAs), Request for Detector Facility Assistance and any similar requests. | | Recent Project Chater Sheets P0246.0-ATLAS UPGRADES-PCS.pdf P0245.0-T&H REPLACEMENT-PCS.pd P0244.0-VAULT RECABLING-PCS.pdf P00243.0-COLLIMATOR B-PCS.pdf P0242.0_ISIS VI Replacement-PCS.doc P0241.0_UC ISAC Target-PCS.doc P0240.0_ISAC Implantation Station-PCS.pdf P0239.0_Conditioning Station-PCS.pdf P0238.0_North Hot Cell-PCS.pdf | | Risks and Hazards In the language of project management risk refers to anythings that can cause the project to be over budget or behind schedule. A good discussion can be found in the ARIEL documentation. In contrast a hazard refers to anything that can effect human safety or the environment. |
