The Intern will work with the SPI team to define a new process to be employed on a pilot project in support of the Software Assurance Research Project (SARP) Infusion objectives and goals, and setup of the project inside SDA.
Project setup will include:
• Importing all relevant project data, and templates into SDA
• Importing or creating a project/process schedule in SDA
• Creating User accounts for team members involved with the project
• Assigning Tasks with start and stop dates

The Intern will assist in developing a lifecycle process, modeled and created using SDA Editor, a graphical process editor.  Each process step and process flow will be defined using the following attributes: inputs, outputs, entry, and exit criteria, individual roles assignments, reference materials, background information, instructions, templates, and examples.

Additional activities may include:
• Checking existing tools, template and/or processes against new Goddard Procedural Requirements to identify inconsistencies and recommend updates
• Testint/document differences and potentially updating existing Excel tools for compatibility and usability on Macs (make sure things work/appear the same as on Windows)
• Testing/document differences and recommending improvements to the website with different web browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari on these Operating Systems, PC, MAC and LINUX)
