Project Scoping Groups/Project Management Teams Print E-mail
Complex Drilling Projects (CDPs) utilize Project Scoping Groups (PSGs) to assess the state of readiness of the drilling plans, tool and engineering development, engineering site surveys, etc. The OTF determines the level of scoping needed for a CDP and designates a formal PSG. Each scoping group will have either the IODP-MI Vice President of Science Operations or the IODP-MI Engineering & Operations Manager as head. This group also will include one or two designated “Chief Project Scientists” and several project proponents to provide the scientific leadership necessary to plan aspects of the project. This PSG also has formal liaisons from the IOs and SAS and utilizes outside expertise (e.g., engineers) as needed. The PSG regularly reports to the OTF on the state of readiness of the CDP.

If after initial scoping the project is placed on the IODP operational schedule by the OTF, the PSG will then become a formal Project Management Team (PMT), which plans and coordinates the project through its multi-year operations. Each PMT will have a “core membership” of either the Vice President of Science Operations or the Engineering and Operations Manager as the chair, one or two designated “Chief Project Scientists”, CDP proponents, IO representatives (engineers, staff scientists), SAS representatives, E&O representation and outside engineers (as required). The PMT reports to the OTF on planning and implementation issues addressed by the team.

The OTF has established one PSG to date, the NanTroSEIZE Project Scoping Group. This group has now evolved into the NanTroSEIZE Project Management Team and is coordinating the joint NanTroSEIZE operations between CDEX and the USIO. Reports/actions items of this PSG/PMT are on the IODP website.
