NextGen CMRS and ARCIS projects are behind schedule.  NextGen CMRS encountered requirements issues and additional development sprints for minimum viable product.  NextGen ARCIS completed the Discovery Phase and began Development this quarter, but has encountered delays.  The ERA 2.0 Program has embarked on multiple projects in the past year after selecting a new vendor for Agile development services but is working to ensure and improve consistency in performance across teams."
"Agency & Related Services",393-000000086,"National Archives and Records Administration",09/22/2021,3,2023-11-30,"NextGen CMRS has four remaining development sprints and is projected to go-live at the beginning of CY 2024. NextGen ARCIS is in the beginning phase of a 20-month project.  The IPT meets weekly on these projects, which support the NISP Modernization efforts.  The ERA 2.0 Program rolled out the scheduling and transfer components to all Federal Agencies and is now addressing migration errors and required infrastructure upgrades.  In addition, foundational work for integrating with the NextGen Description & Authority Service (DAS) and providing Access Review & Redaction capabilities for ERA 2.0 has begun. This required onboarding and orienting additional vendor Agile teams.  The team is also adopting a new Agile release process allowing us to release new code monthly instead of the current quarterly cadence.								"

A significant amount of pre-work requirements have occurred for the upcoming large projects to prepare for implementation.  The team meets regularly to assess contractor and project performance and meets with contractor leadership to raise potential risks and issues for resolution.  Oracle now offers a limited support option called Market Driven Support (MDS) which NARA will purchase to extend support to the Oracle/Siebel platform through December 31, 2023.  For a complex Agile data migration project that we began recently, preliminary data mapping and user story-generation activities were created internally to better define the scope and initial backlog for the project before bringing in our implementation vendor.  Requirements for CMRS Next Gen have been developed and provided.  High-level ARCIS Next Gen requirements are near complete."

NARA is preparing to reopen facilities and the return of staff and employees, as local conditions permit.  The reopening of facilities will assist in starting the recovery process to work down the existing backlog of requests.  The ARCIS business stakeholders have embarked on developing requirements for the modernization of the ARCIS system.  The new contractor for the O&M support of the ARCIS and CMRS systems has transitioned well and is successfully providing O&M support. However, the legacy ARCIS and CMRS platform of Oracle/Siebel will reach its end of life in July 2022 and will no longer receive patches and support from the vendor. The ERA program conducted a risk review session on December 16, 2021, and is actively working to mitigate the risks identified and discussed.

NARA is preparing for the reopening of facilities and the return of staff and employees.  Code output from the Agile Development & Integration Services (ADIS) team vendor has been solid, but more output is expected via process improvement.   NARA issued a Contract Discrepancy Report to ensure critical areas of concern are addressed and instituted new processes for monitoring the projects."
