Assuring Credibility in the Cost Estimate: Part II
Hank Apgar
Webinar Presentation: Wednesday September 2, 2020 at 12:00pm EDT
This paper updates the original, first presented at the 2016 ICEAA International Workshop in Bristol, which traced the evolution of cost estimating attributes, settling on cost credibility. Evidence was provided in the words of senior government executives, industry leaders, estimating and engineering handbooks, professional journals, and government auditing manuals. This update incorporates the impact of cost drivers such as program maturity levels and system readiness levels, and newer processes such as model-based system engineering. The paper assesses the impact on the estimating professional.
