Project accomplishments and associated activities are described below.

Task 1: Project Management and Reporting
Technik met with the COTR to discuss timing, contacts, documentation and other pertinent information. We performed an analysis of the work and developed a project schedule and a project management plan (PMP). We developed and presented a project schedule with milestones that corresponded to the CLINs. Work was re-evaluated and re-prioritized at the end of each CLIN. Functionality reports, acceptance testing, code check-in and documentation were accomplished to coincide with the sprint cycles. As required by VS, Technik utilized Earned Value Reports to measure our productivity.
Deliverables included: project management plan and project master schedule, weekly status meeting minutes and monthly project status reports.

Task 2: Requirements Analysis and Design
Technik delivered a requirements document that allowed the NAIS team to improve the reporting functions of the SPRS, the AINM and the ATPS by separating the reporting function into an Operation Data Store. In addition, improvements on the data model for the NAIS automated reporting was researched and documented in this effort. We performed the following tasks.
