01Executive Schedule Assessment
IMS health is 87/100 (Stable). 37 changes were detected since the prior status. Three milestones moved more than five working days (M-017, M-013, M-010) and two activities entered the near-critical band (4.3.2, 2.4.7). 8 external dependencies remain unresolved and 8 decisions are pending.
02Changes Since Previous Status
- Finish Date: Oct 20 → Oct 28 (+8d)
- Milestone: Oct 20 → Oct 28 (+8d)
- Actual Finish: Sep 24 → Sep 30 (+6d)
- Milestone: Oct 15 → Oct 19 (+4d)
- Milestone: Oct 20 → Oct 27 (+7d)
- Finish Date: Oct 15 → Oct 22 (+7d)
- Near-Critical Entry: Float 11d → Float 3d (-8d)
- Successor Removed: FS → 3.2.18 → No successor (—)
03Critical Path
Critical path runs through 3.2.18 Integration Readiness → 4.2.x System Test → 5.2.x Installation → M-016 IOC with zero float. 4.3.2 Operational Assessment is 3 days from the critical path; 3.2.4 GFE Interface Integration has 4 days.

07Decisions Required
- DEC-024 Approve revised integration sequence? — Project Manager, by Oct 9
- DEC-025 Pursue recovery or rebaseline M-017 Operational Assessment Complete? — NIWC Pacific PM, by Oct 8
- DEC-026 Request expedited hardware shipment? — Project Manager, by Oct 6
- DEC-027 Approve CDR closure criteria with open RFAs? — NIWC Pacific Chief Engineer, by Oct 5
- DEC-028 Authorize additional integration engineer for Subsystem B? — Project Manager, by Oct 10
- DEC-029 Accept SNET constraint on facility modifications? — Scheduler, by Oct 7
08Recommended Actions
- Review recovery options before the next status cycle. (AI Recommendation · pending review)
- Prepare a variance narrative and decide on recovery vs. rebaseline. (AI Recommendation · pending review)
- Scheduler to restore or justify the removed successor relationship. (AI Recommendation · pending review)
- Request expedited confirmation through DLA and record decision DEC-026. (AI Recommendation · pending review)
- Escalate through NIWC Pacific PM. (AI Recommendation · pending review)
- Scheduler and T&E Lead to evaluate SS+5 relationship. (AI Recommendation · pending review)
09Items Cera Is Monitoring
- 3.2.4 GFE Interface Integration float is 4 days.
- 4.2.x chain remains on critical path with zero float.
- 5.1.3 Network Accreditation float 6 days; AO decision pending.
- 5.3.1 depends on fleet operator availability (Jan 2027).
