Lifecycle Affordability
Effective planning for the future.
Lifecycle affordability requires a global understanding of an organization’s projects, including the interdependencies, relationships of projects, and their impacts. This directly affects the cost, resource allocation, and budgeting for project execution.
Project Management / Integrated Master Scheduling

At a Glance
Project overruns can have a profound impact on a project and on its interdependent projects. Overruns can span across multiple resources to include labor cost, schedule delays, and material losses.

The Exo Solution
Exostrategies’ Lifecycle Affordability process is:
Designed to provide visualization capabilities
A dynamic reorganization of data to understand how an overall organization is being managed
An insight for decision makers to understand the impacts and secondary impacts of schedule changes before they are made
Able to cut across stovepipes and define project interdependencies without forcing the organization to change how they manage projects

Highlights
Exostrategies supports the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) by:
Optimizing the Planning Cycle using their existing data set of 1,000+ projects.
Identifying which projects are most likely to cause schedule slippage.
Optimizing the execution to deliver capabilities sooner than originally planned.
Program Objective Memorandum (POM) Suppport

At a Glance
If organizations do not plan efficiently on both large programs and small projects, they will be unable to identify the proper resources or funding necessary for success. This forces shortfalls or re-appropriation of funding from other projects.

The Exo Solution
Exostrategies’ Lifecycle Affordability process:
Assists organizations with anticipating their demand multiple years out
Helps the customer plan for budgetary needs appropriately
Provides understanding of where an organization can proactively restructure or reallocate funding streams to improve the timeframe for delivery

Highlights
Exostrategies supports the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) by:
Transforming their program budget inputs, enabling the program budget to move from six months behind schedule, to six months ahead of schedule
Supporting the Contested, Degraded, and Operationally Limited (CDO) to determine what could be accomplished within a fixed budget and determine the highest level of capability for the available funds
Resource Analysis

At a Glance
Organizations that do not understand their resources, cost, and utilization cannot allocate resources properly and fail to meet established requirements, especially when working on long-term projects. When a project is delayed, resources need to be reallocated to support the new project timeline.

The Exo Solution
Exostrategies’ Lifecycle Affordability process:
Analyzes an organization to assist with visualizing the current and future demand for resources
Identifies areas where resources are potentially over or underutilized
Helps customers identify the need to reorganize or reallocate resources to reduce potential turnover or unnecessary reductions

Highlights
Exostrategies supports the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) by:
Enabling seamless operations during contract transition and manpower reductions that often take place by proving insightful resource analysis. This allows for continued operations without compromising the overall mission.
