What’s the Deal with Different Function Points Methodologies.\n\nAbstract: Since the development of IFPUG Function Points (FPs)\, many variants have emerged to simplify software sizing and improve cost estimation. Which of these sizing techniques should one use? To understand differences among methods\, we compare IFPUG FPs\, COSMIC FPs\, and Simple FPs for effort estimation on University of Southern California (USC)’s dataset of Unified Code Count (UCC) enhancements. Additionally\, we investigate automated tools to understand the correlation between Objective FPs and the other FPs methods.\n\n\nBrian Bothwell from the Government Accountability Office\, which supports assessments of cost estimating\, scheduling\, EVM\, AOAs\, and technology readiness\, will present GAO Best Practice Guides.\n\nAbstract: This presentation will cover GAO’s responsibilities\, introduce the best practice guides GAO uses and briefly describe their development\, and discuss how the guides’ criteria are used in audits through the presentation of 2 or 3 case studies.

Historically\, non-proprietary sample datasets have been smaller and less complex than the real world alternative\, limiting the sample data’s usefulness for training. The Office of the Secretary of Defense – Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD CAPE) has\, with the assistance of Tecolote Research\, LLC and Technomics\, Inc.\, resolved this sample dataset issue by creating and releasing the “Cerberus Training Dataset”. The “Cerberus Training Dataset” includes over a dozen data deliverables\, utilizes multiple report formats\, and spans a five-year notional Major Weapon System Acquisition program. The data deliverables are primarily based around the “Cost and Software Data Reporting” framework and are the same size and complexity as real world deliverables the CAPE receives and utilizes to prepare its Independent Cost Estimates. In this luncheon\, Daniel Germony (OSD CAPE)\, will review what sample data is included in the “Cerberus Training Dataset”\, how the dataset was developed\, how ICEAA members can obtain a copy of the data\, and a call to action to use this dataset when developing training\, tools\, or to show off different analytical techniques in the future. \n  \nDaniel Germony is an Operations Research Analyst working in the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD) – Cost Assessment Program Evaluation (CAPE) Office. Mr. Germony leads CAPE’s efforts to improve access to data science tools and methods for DoD’s cost community\, is heavily involved in the policy development and execution of cost data collection efforts\, and is the lead for Operations & Support (O&S) data transformation in support of CAPE’s Enterprise Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs (EVAMOSC) system. Mr. Germony has a Masters in Cost Estimating and Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Michigan. \nAdam James is a Subject Matter Expert at Technomics\, Inc.\, where he serves as a strategic leader for data analytics and data science. In this role\, Adam provides his expertise to develop modern\, innovative solutions to address new – and old – cost estimating and analysis problems.

Email Luncheon@washingtoniceaa.com \n  \nThe Need to Modernize Cost Estimation\nIn the last ten to fifteen years the government contracting industry has substantially quickened the speed of technology delivery.  This emerging change has forced cost estimation professionals\, as well as acquisition professionals of all kinds\, to change their own processes to keep pace.  In fact\, it can be argued that cost professionals face the greatest hurdles as they try to ensure that their deliverables do not spoil on the analyst’s desk and stay relevant all the way to the customer’s doorstep.  Cost estimation shops can benefit by changing their service to match customer needs and delivery tempo\, add instruction in software products to analyst training programs\, and extend the scope of “cost” to include budget formulation.  This presentation also touches on other aspects of transformation such as cost organization infrastructure and repeatable processes. \nTo attend virtually\, log on to MS Teams at \nOr attend in person at: Logapps\, 3110 Fairview Park\, STE 100\, Falls Church\, VA \n\nBuilding is open-access.\nFree covered parking behind the building\nNearest Metro: Dunn-Loring on the Orange Line\nLunch details will be forthcoming\n\nSpeakers: \nEd Spriggs\nManaging Partner\, Logapps LLC\nEd Spriggs is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Logapps\, where he is responsible for research\, analysis\, and IT software acquisition program delivery to clients across the Department of Defense\, the Federal Judiciary\, and civilian agencies.

Many of the extreme examples of IT cost growth and schedule delays are not black swans\, but can be predicted in advance by credible analytical techniques. \nRisk management for Black Swans\, or rare events that have significant negative consequences\, is challenging. \nPredicting the occurrence of such events is difficult and sometimes impossible. For many events with extreme consequences\, there is no typical occurrence. Such phenomena will likely have a few relatively mild outcomes\, followed by an extreme one that breaks all previous records. \nCOVID-19 is a prime example of this phenomenon. The world had not seen such a widespread and deadly pandemic since the great influenza outbreak 100 years ago. The use of traditional statistical methods is not useful in managing risk in these situations. Fat-tailed phenomena do not typically have a well-defined population variance and in many cases not even a population mean! The commonly used ‘normal’ distribution is not applicable in such cases. In this presentation\, the use of historical data for managing the risk of extreme events is discussed. \nDespite its challenges\, much can be leveraged from historical experience in such cases. The use of extreme value theory to the measurement and management of extreme risks is discussed. A key component of many extreme events\, such as pandemics\, is exponential growth. The importance of swift action to cut the fat tail of extreme events is emphasized. A connection with the development phase of defense projects is discussed. \nWith many examples of extreme cost growth\, the management of risk for national security projects is a tough problem. The use of logistic regression to identify candidates for extreme cost growth is one possible way to help identify potential problem programs before they occur. We discuss the application of extreme value theory\, logistic regression\, and the importance in cutting the fat tail through mitigation in the risk management of defense projects. \nPresented by Dr. Christian B. Smart \nDr. Smart has a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics\, with more than 20 years of experience with the application of predictive analytics\, machine learning\, and risk management to defense and aerospace programs. Solving for Project Risk Management: Understanding the Critical Role of Uncertainty in Project Management is his first book.

However\, the majority of analysts in the cost community still use traditional methods and are not leveraging the power of modern data science tools. Many are overwhelmed by the different data sources\, platforms and tools available and unsure where to invest their time and resources. How can we leverage the full power of data science and utilize analytic techniques such as automation\, machine learning\, interactive dashboards and more? How can we transform our Excel (or Excel-like) based processes in order to streamline results and make our analysts significantly more efficient? \nIt’s easier than you might think. This presentation will examine some practical steps that we can take in order to vastly improve our current processes and start to shift the cost community into the modern data science era. The authors will demonstrate the innovative ways that Air Force Cost Analysis Agency (AFCAA) is utilizing a cloud-based platform and various data science tools to transform our entire process from data ingestion/storage to end products and even end-to-end cost modeling with very little or no programming required! \nSpeakers: \nSarah Green is an Operations Research Analyst at the Air Force Cost Analysis Agency\, currently leading AFCAA’s efforts to integrate data science tools and methods with more traditional cost estimating processes and techniques. She has worked in the cost estimating field for over 15 years\, supporting a variety of agencies including the Air Force\, Space Force\, Navy and NATO. Sarah has a Masters in Systems Engineering and a Bachelors in Mathematics. \nCapt Dakotah W. Hogan\, CCEA® is an active duty Air Force officer assigned to the Air Force Cost Analysis Agency. His professional experience includes development and production cost estimating and analysis on the KC-46\, F-35\, and F-22 programs.

Program offices utilize sustainment data and analyses to justify future investments. Second level engineering uses sustainment analysis to evaluate strategic sustainment options. And\, F&E budget offices evaluate investment urgency based on legacy system\, end-of-life cost estimates. Understanding factors\, process methodologies\, and sustainment analyses drivers can help cost estimators make data-driven decisions and demonstrate the criticality of infrastructure replacement projects. Using a proven approach of research\, parametrics\, and software algorithms\, the team demonstrates an optimum process and approach for sustainment analysis. \nPresenters: \nGeorge Bayer\nCobec Consulting\, Inc. \nGeorge Bayer\, a Senior Director at Cobec Consulting with over 20 years of Finance experience\, manages cost and benefits estimating teams for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) acquisitions.
