NATCA NATIONAL OFFICE DEPARTMENTAL UPDATE March 25-April 8, 2019 LABOR RELATIONS DEPARTMENT 3-D WORK PLAN NATCA has been working with the Agency in a collaborative workgroup on an initiative called 3-D Work Plan. 3-D Work Plan is an enhancement of the Agency's current project management processes designed to leverage the best practices throughout the Agency. The managers from the Planning and Requirements Group (PRG) and Engineering Services (ES) tasked the workgroup with developing a program to provide planned projects that are predictable, integrated, and completed on time. The workgroup has finished its tasking and is now conducting workshops with the project teams from PRG and ES to discuss how to successfully execute the 3-D Work Plan. The workshops include walking through available resources and guidance in practical application. The workshops will conclude in the first half of 2019 across the three service areas. The parties' collaborative approach to the 3-D Work Plan initiative will continue until July 2019.
