Corrective Action Plan
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Corrective Action Plan is intended to formally document steps to be taken when a
project has received a ‘No‐Go Decision’ during one of the PPM phase control gates. The following
template may be used by the integrated project team (IPT) when their project receives a variance of + or
‐10% or more in cost, schedule or performance or they are requested by the Technical Review Sub‐
Committee (TRC) or HUD’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) to complete one.
The use of this template allows the HUD OCIO senior management team to collect standardized
information on strategies and tasks for improving the performance of an investment.
This template is designed to capture the specific tasks, dates, and responsible persons for improving the
performance of investments that received a variance of + or ‐10% or more in cost, schedule, or
performance. The template also requires the IPT to consider how their Corrective Action Plan may
impact other areas of the investment. It is possible that a Corrective Action Plan may consist of multiple
strategies to improve performance depending on the number of areas that are in need of improvement.
Corrective action plans may be subject to review by the TRC and CIO in order to assess the feasibility of
the plan. Plans that do not sufficiently address the issue(s) identified during the Control Gate Review
may require an additional meeting with the TRC. This meeting will serve as a forum where the IPT and
the TRC can collaborate on approaches for improving the effectiveness of the Corrective Action Plan.
