Our Approach Project One was asked to structure the technology delivery programme for prototyping: a team of three engaged, with a lead to build the prototyping approach and plan, a project manager to deliver the core complex integrated systems, and a business analyst to manage the key requirements and design. Within six weeks, we had created an 18-month delivery roadmap, clarified and shaped a solution for a key constraint, the separation of the CAD/PLM systems and data from the reference ship, and had gained stakeholder agreement across the many business functions to a new approach. Subsequently, working with the leaders in engineering, the approach and plan for prototyping design separation was developed, and a firm delivery plan baselined. The team led the delivery, constituting the critical path of the entire ship build programme, which achieved the prototyping design separation milestone in May 2020 – on time to the plan that was set nine months earlier. This enabled platform engineering to take on the detail design, and ultimately for Cut Steel to take place when promised.
“Project One has the ability to develop a plan for a complex project and deliver against the agreed long term schedule. They engage well and manage stakeholders with a focus on the outcome and time- frame constraints.” Customer Representative Global Defence Business
The Value Add and Outcomes Created the prototyping technology delivery plan, built alignment and delivered all key milestones to plan Built confidence and gained the respect of the overseas customers Identified the prototyping design separation challenge, shaped and implemented the solution approach and delivered to the timeline: delivering a federated PLM and separated CAD model for the first time. The prototyping milestones were achieved, and First Cut Steel took place in December 2020, an important contractual, political and social milestone.
