Standard Template System (STS)

JPI’s Standard Template System (STS) is a powerful tool providing GSA project managers with the ability to create statements of work (SOWs) quickly and with the assurance that they are using the most current language to meet legal, engineering, and regulatory requirements. Blending the power of XML with the familiar usability of Microsoft Word, STS streamlines the creation of SOWs and contracts for our clients.

At GSA, STS houses the baseline templates for design work, engineering projects, and feasibility studies. Some template elements are common across all projects and others are unique to specific kinds of work. The STS templates contain rules to include elements based on different criteria. For example, all projects would contain a summarized project description, but a feasibility study would also include the names of GSA agencies involved in the study and the primary business objectives. STS’s rules enable users to create SOWs based on the particular aspects of their projects. The result is accuracy from standardization and expediency by eliminating repetitive data entry. JPI continues to improve STS’s usability.  By Q3 2009, new toolbars and icons added to Microsoft Word will enable content managers to keep the template rules and contents up to date by simplifying the editing process.

Testimonials:

HONORABLE MENTION WINNER as GSA Best Practice 2003 for Real Property Management. Begun as a web enabled project fact sheet, the Project Information Portal (PIP) has evolved into an enterprise-wide system for tracking an active capital construction program valued at over $10 billion.

The unique qualities of PIP are its graphically pleasing, highly intuitive user interface and easy to understand and navigate information architecture. From a program level overview to a detailed list of projects for each PBS region, the information is easy to find and easy to update. The display of a project, from its design renderings, construction photos, or completed project views, makes the portal a destination for anyone within GSA who wants to know the progress, images, and detailed data about a project.

Extensive report development has provided PBS executives with views across their regions and by customers that previously had been very difficult and time consuming to obtain. The PIP has helped PBS achieve its goal of keeping a “finger on the pulse” of a multi-billion capital construction program. PIP has achieved this by providing executive roll-ups of information, including a real-time dashboard of issues and actions for all projects in the portal.

Updating projects by the project managers takes less than 30 minutes per month. Cultural and organization resistance to change is gradually being overcome by continuing to establish communication, trust and confidence between the project manager, the executive and the customer. Communication builds trust, and trust builds confidence that the system will provide reliable and up to date information. GSA can expect to save almost $2.4 million annually, or about $12 million over a 5-year horizon when the PIP will be fully functional through reduced reporting requirements by project managers.
