Team Charter

for

AHPS Theme Teams

Vision: Maximize AHPS resources to effectively and efficiently develop and deploy modernized hydrologic services which satisfy partner and customer needs.

Mission: Develop theme-specific FY06 work plans for the development/implementation of AHPS services. Plans should be based on an assessment of what tasks need to be completed, and in what order, to satisfy AHPS theme area requirements outlined in the ARC-approved AHPS Program Plan. Other resources which should be utilized in the development of a work plan include the NOAA Hydrology Program Managers (NHPM) Annual Guidance Memorandum (AGM), input from technical representatives (see team compositions below), user feedback (surveys and AHPS web page comments), and HOSIP/OSIP documents associated with current projects planned to extend. These resources, along with a workplan template, are available at the RFC Development Management web site:

https://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/rfcdev/projects/ahps06_charter.htm

Work plans will be integrated by the AHPS Program Coordinator (APC), reviewed by the ARC, and approved by the NOAA Hydrology Program Manager (NHPM). Teams should accomplish the following activities when preparing a work plan:

When it is necessary to use the AHPS General Services Contract to accomplish a task, coordination with the contractor (to determine cost and schedule) will be through the AHPS Program Manager or his representative. NWS offices approved to lead a task will be responsible for deliverables. The status of work plan tasks will be monitored and reported upon quarterly by the AHPS Program Office – the teams are responsible for developing the work plan, and updating it as necessary.
