SUMMARY:Is this Schedule Credible?
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Shriqui\nWebinar Presentation: Wednesday November 4\, 2020 at 12:00pm EDT \n \nA schedule is the life and breathe of any project. As such\, it should be constructed with rigor and discipline. But how does one differentiate a credible schedule from a poorly constructed one without being a SME? The US Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) has created a scheduling test to objectively determine a schedule’s integrity. In this presentation we will review the key concepts\, pros & cons and limitation of this scheduling test. Please join me and come find out if your project schedules are transparent or is there more to them than meets the eye! \nJonathan Shriqui has over a decade of program management experience acquired from General Electric\, Lockheed Martin and BMT Canada on large scale procurement programs. From 2016 to 2019\, he provided EVM and project controls insights to the Department of National Defense (DND) for acquisition projects under the National Shipbuilding Strategy\, the largest and most complex procurement program in Canadian history. In 2019\, he joined DND’s Project Management Support Organization where he provides project control guidance and support.

SUMMARY:2020 SCAF/ICEAA Virtual Workshop: Bob Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Cost and Data Issues facing Today’s Cybersecurity Analysts\nBob Hunt\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday\, November 17\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST \n  \nCybersecurity threats and counter measures are evolving at a rapid pace. Analysts need a solution for assessing a non-static situation. Many organizations are simply costing a proposed plan without a strategic or sustainment plan. Current studies imply that it is more costly to defend against a cybersecurity attack than to execute the attack. Studies also indicate that the typical security breach is not detected until about 200 days after the breach. Analysts need to understand the scope of cybersecurity. Is it physical\, computer\, hardware\, people\, policy\, or all of the above? This presentation evaluates three approaches to a cybersecurity cost analysis. Thy three current approaches to costing cyber security are; economic/return on investment\, industrial engineering/cost build up\, and parametric. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach are discussed. Two emerging parametric techniques are discussed in this presentation. Data sources and data shortfalls are also discussed. \nBob Hunt has over 40 years of cost estimating and analysis experience. He received his Society for Cost Estiating and Analysis (SCA) Certification in 1991. He has served in senior technical and management positions at Dulos Incorporated (President)\, Galorath Federal Incorporated (President)\, Galorath Incorporated (Vice President for Services)\, CALIBRE Systems (Vice President)\, CALIBRE Services (President)\, SAIC (Vice President)\, the U.S. Army Cost and Economic Analysis Center (Chief of the Vehicles\, Ammunition\, and Electronics ICE Division\, U.S. Army Deputy Directorate of Cost Analysis.

SUMMARY:2020 SCAF/ICEAA Virtual Workshop: Andy Nolan and Christian Smart
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Judgement\nAndy Nolan\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday\, November 24\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST\n \nMany of us rely on “expert judgement” when estimating\, but the evidence is that it can be unreliable. Based on a study of 3760 guesses\, we noticed that 70% of people tend to underestimate. A new study in 2020 of 7400 guesses\, showed that 69% of people tend to quote a narrow min-max range when guessing a 3-point estimate. When using judgement\, most of us are too low and too precise\, we are precisely wrong! This research showed that within 30 minutes\, 60% of people could improve their judgement accuracy. It seems most people can quickly calibrate themselves\, but not everyone. In 2018 we developed a quick and simple calibration test to determine if someone could reliably estimate. The trials spanned 578 people and several companies. It showed that we could reliably predict who\, and when\, we can trust a guess. The paper summarises four years of research\, offers training methods and methods for how to enhance judgement accuracy. It also suggests that for some\, they will need to rely on data rather than their judgements. \nAndy Nolan joined Rolls-Royce in 1989 and spent 23 years in software development and project management. In this role\, he developed some of the initial estimating tools\, techniques and training now used across Rolls-Royce. Andy became a Six-Sigma Black Belt in 2007. Since 2012\, Andy has been the Chief of Project Estimating\, specialising in project development costs\, resources\, schedules and benefits. His role is to evaluate\, develop and deploy capabilities for estimating across the business. Some of this work is now available in the public domain for which Andy has received recognition. \n  \nThe Quantitative Risk Management Imperative\nChristian B. Smart\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday\, November 24\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST \nRisk is an important consideration for all projects. However\, as a society we are risk blind. When projects plan\, they tend to look only at the best-case scenario. Risk is not just a nice to have\, it is a critical ingredient in project success\, and it needs to be analyzed quantitatively. The use of point estimates\, averages\, and qualitative methods all underestimate risk. The use of quantitative methods for risk analysis is well established. We discuss how to successfully implement them in the analysis of project risk. \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.
