1.6 Project Maturity Score and Benchmark
| Maturity Score | Attributes | Total | |||||||
| Schedule | Cost | Requirement | Technical Understanding | Technical Difficulty | Commercial | Operations and Support | |||
| Project Stage: System Integration & Test | Benchmark | 7 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 55 |
| Current Project | 9 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 56 | |
| Explanation | Schedule: The project is progressing to schedule with the development and delivery of combat system baselines. Combat system baseline development is ahead of the installation schedule because of delays in the submarine docking program and the schedule assessment is linked to baseline development rather than the installation schedule. Cost: Confidence in cost is lower than the benchmark because of potential cost effects of delay due to submarine availability affecting the installation program. | ||||||||
