Tip: If initial screen results in low opportunity (<$10M ONLY) the result must be thoroughly documented on page 3 Tip: Low opportunity requires documentation to help justify and record the thought process. The expectation is a reasonable level of effort is spent documenting why low opportunity is appropriate. Tip: The intent is not to avoid VE but rather allow the VE community of practice to focus their efforts on what has the greatest opportunity. Tip: Can’t choose low opportunity for projects greater than $10M without HQUSACE Chief OVE signature Step 2 Strategy Screening Process – The second part of the screening process moves from general questions to more specific questions concerning the project, the stakeholders and surrounding risks/opportunities. The purpose is to establish overall complexity judgment. The questions are subjective however they are intended to get you thinking and help you access the overall complexity of the circumstances. are three groups of questions: Project Specific Stakeholders Risk/Opportunity questions should be answered consistent with available information and knowledge of the project by working with the PDT. The objective of the process is twofold: Determine if reasonable opportunity exists. Assess the level of complexity of the project and other issues affecting the project. Complexity/Judgment is determined from the three groups of questions. Must make judgment decision (Low, Moderate or High) on overall complexity. Answering the questions from groups A-C do not automatically choose complexity, this requires the VEO to make a judgment. Step 3 Documentation/Narrative – This is where the rational for making the strategy decision is recorded. This narrative will record the variables that played into decisions made for the project and allow an auditor to follow and verify the logic.
