P6. CANCELLATION

P7. RECORDS

The Project Data Management Plan (PDMP) dated March 1999 forms the basis for this document
The Software Users’ Guide and software listings will constitute the final report for each software revision as it is released.
The developed software is fully documented on line.
The record custodian will be Brian Dennis, Code 682, and the record retention period will be the project life plus 2 years.
P8. IMPLEMENTATION

Team Assignment
Product Design Lead (PDL):                                     Brian Dennis, Code 682
Customer Representative (CR):                                 Gordon Hurford, UCB
Lead software development scientist (LSDS):            Richard Schwartz, Raytheon ITSS
Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC) contact:             Joesph Gurman, Code 682

The PDL communicates directly with the CR. Together they communicate with the rest of the software development team at Goddard. Regular monthly meetings are held with the parallel software development team at UCB. Coordination with other institutions involved in the analysis of HESSI data is maintained through regular email and telephone communications.

This data analysis task follows the basic plan outlined in the PDMP. More detailed plans agreed to by the PDL, CR, and LSDS, are placed on the HESSI Data Analysis web site with the following URL:
http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/hessi/Data_Analysis/.
Detailed plans for testing the software are also agreed to and placed on the same web site. As the software is prepared and tested, problem areas are listed on the same Web site and brought to the attention of the responsible programmers. Once the problems are corrected, the programs are retested and the results recorded on the same Web site. These documents maintained on the HESSI data analysis Web site constitute the full and complete record necessary to establish and maintain the integrity of the data analysis software developed under this task.
