Projects & Infrastructure Committee

The Projects and Infrastructure (“P&I”) committee focuses on strategy, overall performance, systems including processes and tools, along with risks and risk management for the execution of Laboratory’s total portfolio of projects. (Projects as used here mean formal line-item construction and major items of equipment projects, as well as other significant projects overseen by SLAC’s Office of Project Management.) The committee seeks to leverage (and not duplicate) information such as individual project reviews conducted by the Laboratory and DOE to holistically assess the strategy, overall performance, and project management approach and systems. For instance, the committee may review SLAC’s project proposal and execution strategy and processes and the cross-cutting risks related to project proposals and execution, including the laboratory’s project oversight and assurance processes. Scientific justifications such as mission need for major science projects are typically assessed in the Science and Technology committee.

The P&I committee also assesses the Laboratory’s risk management strategy for risks relating to physical plant and infrastructure project execution, as well as other critical infrastructure systems to support such project execution. In addition, oversight of the committee includes policies necessary for the successful execution of projects, including investment strategies and risk mitigations. Given the potential for overlap, the P&I Committee Chair works closely with the Operations Committee Chair to ensure operational risks associated with SLAC’s physical plant and infrastructure are being adequately assessed.
