SETA/FFRDC Supporting Government Missions

Challenge

The Problem

A federally funded research center was supporting three simultaneous government satellite programs. Each program had its own requirements baseline, budget structure, and review schedule. The SETA team needed to track requirement compliance, identify risks, and prepare deliverables across all three programs — but each one used different tools and formats.

Solution

How SMAD Portal Helped

SMAD Portal provided separate mission workspaces for each program with shared team access. The SETA team could switch between programs without changing tools. Requirements, risks, and phase gate status followed the same methodology across all three missions. Deliverable formats were consistent, making cross-program reporting straightforward.

Results

Outcomes

  • Three programs managed in one platform with consistent methodology
  • Cross-program risk visibility enabled proactive resource allocation
  • Deliverable generation time reduced from days to hours
  • Government customer received standardized status reports across all programs

"When the government asks "what is the status across all three programs?" we can answer in five minutes instead of five days."
