Project Name:

Secure Compute Environment Testbed for a National Secure Data Service

Contractor: NORC at the University of Chicago

Lessons Learned

• The delayed contract execution and aggressive ATO timeline compressed the production schedule and as a result, the priority and available time to perform other tasks were decreased and implementation and operational decisions were accelerated.
• The aggressive schedule for the ATO requires perfect engineering across all tasks; any delays in execution have an immediate and direct impact on the project schedule and likelihood of success.
• Frequent communication among and within all project entities (government and contractors) is critical.
