But the condensed and iterative nature of CE sessions can also make life hard for a cost estimator. This work discusses 13 problem areas experienced or observed mainly during one-week\, inter-disciplinary space system design studies and provides practical examples on how to tackle them\, e.g. how to handle rapid data changes\, wrong expectations and a diverse engineering team.

SUMMARY:Software & Agile Category Winner Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Each webinar attended earns 0.1 points towards CCEA recertification. \nBut Wait\, There’s More! Using SFPA for Your Cost\, Schedule & Performance Needs\nKatharine Mann\nRyan Hoang\nWebinar Presentation: Thursday June 11\, 2020 at 12:00pm EST RSVP Online \nDo you need to estimate software size? Do you want to add value to your program beyond the LCCE? Simple Function Point Analysis (SFPA) can help! We discuss how analysts can engage Program Managers to use SFPA not just for cost estimating\, but for scheduling and progress tracking of software development programs. Real DHS Programs and Policies are used to illustrate the benefits of Simple Function Points to the entire organization.

SUMMARY:Modeling Category and Best Paper Overall Winner Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Each webinar attended earns 0.1 points towards CCEA recertification. \nAugustine’s Law: Are We Really Headed for the $800 Billion-Dollar Fighter?\nBrent M. Johnstone\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday June 16\, 2020 at 12:00pm EST RSVP Online \nAugustine’s Law famously proposed fighter aircraft costs are growing so rapidly that by 2054 buying a single tactical aircraft will consume the entire defense budget. Is the situation really so dire? This paper examines the trend in U.S. fighter costs and relates them to generational changes in aircraft design and manufacture. It also examines the new jet fighters of the 2000s to see if Augustine’s Law is really unfolding as its author originally thought.

SUMMARY:Palisade Series Part I: Distribution Fitting of Univariate Data
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide an in-depth coverage of the @RISK Fit Distributions to Data dialog box settings\, the five goodness of fit tests performed when fitting univariate data\, and some judgmental aspects of distribution selection that involve both art and science. \nThis series of webinars is intended to provide @RISK users with guidance on settings to use in the Fit Distributions to Data dialog box\, and insight necessary for narrowing down the often-overwhelming candidate list of probability distributions available in @RISK for modeling inputs. Even users who have attended regional training and/or watched relevant on-demand webinars may still be unclear about: \n1. what settings to use in the multiple tabs and radio buttons/drop down boxes within the Fit Distributions to Data dialog box\n2. how to know which test result(s) to pay the most attention to\n3. nuances of the distribution choice that involve both art and science\n4. subtle differences between the triangular and PERT distributions\n5. how to interview experts\, avoid biases associated with subjective probability assessment\, and turn interview results into a defensible input distribution\nWhether a newcomer to @RISK and input distribution selection or an experienced user seeking amplification on these topics\, this three-part\, deep-dive series was developed with you in mind.

SUMMARY:Q.E.D Webinar - Solving for Project Risk Management: Understanding the Critical Role of Uncertainty in Project Management
DESCRIPTION:Each webinar attended earns 0.1 points towards CCEA recertification. \nRegistration is currently closed for this webinar. The video recording will be available for purchase starting Thursday\, June 24. \nRisk is an important consideration for all projects. However\, when projects plan\, they tend to look only at the best-case scenario. The overwhelming emphasis on performance\, to the exclusion of cost and schedule considerations\, pervades project management. Lack of planning for financial risks leads to significant cost and schedule growth. Cost and schedule increases are a common recurring phenomenon for all projects. Average cost growth in development has been a steady 50% and higher for several decades. One in six programs doubles in cost. These unplanned-for risks cause turmoil when they arise\, leading to schedule delays. This enduring phenomenon indicates that: \n1. Projects have significant resource risks\n2. In general\, risk is not effectively measured or managed \nDespite its importance\, many projects treat risk as if it were just another four-letter word. Risk measurement and management are imperatives. Estimates of cost and schedule that rely on most-likely inputs lead to significant underestimation of the time and effort required to complete projects. Cost and schedule estimates are stochastic in nature\, and need consideration from the ground up\, not just as an add-on to a point estimate. \nEven when projects conduct risk analysis\, there are several issues with current practice: \n1. Risk is underestimated\n2. Projects are funded to low confidence levels\, resulting in added risk at the portfolio level\n3. Reliance on confidence levels does not consider tail risk\n4. Organizations do not assess portfolio-level impacts when considering new projects \nThe good news is that all these issues can be fixed. This presentation discusses these issues\, as well as ways to fix them. Risk management is a mature discipline. Including proper risk management in program planning is a low-hanging fruit that is ripe and ready to pick. A little planning is an investment that will pay big dividends by setting you apart from the competition. \nThis presentation provides an overview of the forthcoming book Solving for Project Risk Management: Understanding the Critical Role of Uncertainty in Project Management\, to be published by McGraw-Hill in November 2020 (pre-order now available through Amazon: http://tiny.cc/j7xbpz). \nAbout the Author:\nDr. Christian Smart (CCEA®) is the Chief Data Scientist with Galorath Federal. He previously served as the Director of Cost Analytics and Parametric Estimating for the Missile Defense Agency for several years. Dr. Smart has also worked as a support contractor for NASA. He received an Exceptional Public Service Medal from NASA and is a former ISPA Parametrician of the Year. Dr. Smart has BS degrees in mathematics and economics\, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics.
