The Integrated Master Plan / Integrated Master Schedule for the Orion manned spaceflight program has a Program Event (PE) titled Pad Abort I. The Significant Accomplishments (SA) and Accomplishment Criteria (AC) for this PE define how to get to DONE. The Work Packages (WP) that performance the work to get to DONE, are in the IMS.
Here's the Aviation Week and Space Technology pictures for the PA1 Event.
So when you're planning your project or program, focus of the description of DONE - this includes all the intermediate "dones" - and provide a description of DONE in terms of tangible evidence, the accomplishments needed to produce this tangible evidence, and the criteria to measure the "doneness" of these accomplishments.
This is why agile metods that have intermediate deliverables along the path to the final DONE are a near perfect fit for the Integrated Master Plan / Integrated Master Schedule paradigm.
This paradigm is the real Agile Project Management - as practiced by NASA, DoD, DOE, and all others subject to the IMP/IMS CDRL mandates.
