The HQJOC C4I Project - Managing Project Misalignment & Lessons From an Outsourced Project Office. Presented by Peter Hill Codarra Advanced Systems was awarded a Highly Commended Award in the 2007 Canberra AIPM Awards for its efforts in managing the Headquarters Joint Operations Command C4I Project. This presentation will briefly overview one element of Codarra's award submission - how Peter and his team overcame one of the primary challenges associated with the project during 2006 and 2007 - that being the schedule misalignment between the primary contract for provision of the building infrastructure and the separate contract for delivery of the C4I systems. Peter will also outline his personal views on some of the lessons he has observed in managing an entirely outsourced project office, including observations related to both the outsourcing agency and the contracting company. Peter Hill is an experienced senior project manager, with 15 years experience across a range of government departments, primarily in ICT related projects. He culminated 20 years service in the Australian Army as Project Director of the $100m PARAKEET tactical communications system in 1994/95. After leaving Defence in 1996, he spent 12 months in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade managing its international secure networks. In 1997 he joined Codarra Advanced Systems, and since that time has delivered major capability projects for the Department of Defence and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. For the last two and a half years he has been the Project Manager of Defence's outsourced HQJOC C4I Project, leading a team of approximately 18 contractors managing the delivery of over 50 complex systems into the new state of the art headquarters at Bungendore.
