3. PY7 Plans

Overview:

  • Our RACD PY7 Plan is due by .
  • A single document includes the PY7 Plan (green highlight) and PY6 Annual Report (yellow highlight).
  • We don't need to work on the annual report yet.
  • RACD Plan and Report (a pruned copy of the PY7 Plan Template); XCI starts on page 21.

Guidance:

  • Provide RY2 Metrics Targets in the Metrics tables, AND a succinct narrative addressing your PY7 Activities

  • Discuss metric targets first. If your targets have not changed from PY6 to PY7, state this.
  • For new/adjusted targets, please explain why you chose the target you did.
  • Next, discuss metrics added/removed for PY7. Give explanations as to why you have either added or removed metrics.
  • Finally, discuss activities. Refer to your PY7 SOW for the list of activities you have committed to for PY7 and refer to your section of the PY6 plan for examples of what to discuss about those activities

Style:

  • The report should be consistent in writing style and level of detail. 

  • The report should be written in first person where possible. 
  • Section contents should be written in an essay type format (not sub-headings by L3 or metrics).
  • Do not use contractions (unless quoting).
  • Italicize names of systems.
  • In the L1/L2 highlights, (1) avoid repeating text and (2) forward referencing of metrics is acceptable.
  • Reporting period v. quarter: Now that we have transitioned our reports to Interim Project Reports, we need to align our language accordingly. As such, please refer to the period as “reporting period” as opposed “quarter” in text.
