SUMMARY:Southern California Chapter Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Southern California Chapter Virtual Workshop\nDate: December 1\, 2021\nTime: 11:30am – 1:00pm Pacific \nJoin the ICEAA Southern California Chapter for our last virtual luncheon webinar of the year. We will be soliciting your inputs for activities and events for the chapter in 2022. And of course\, you’ll have another chance to win one of our ICEAA SoCal Chapter Coins with more trivia questions! \nOur 90 minute program includes the following speakers: \n\nAnandi Hira from Tecolote Research Inc. who specializes in cost estimation methods for software development programs will present Get the Point. 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.

They provide the Department with timely\, insightful\, and unbiased analysis on resource allocation and cost estimation problems to deliver the optimum portfolio of military capabilities through efficient and effective use of each taxpayer dollar. \nThe presentation will provide an overview of OSD CAPE’s functions to develop and provide insight into the costs of acquisition programs that enables responsible budgeting and proactive management decisions so that the Department can control cost and achieve savings. We will also review current policies and guidance related to cost estimation\, cost analysis\, cost data reporting\, inflation and escalation\, and operations support. \nSpeakers:\nMs. Jennifer Bowles is the Director for Land and Naval Warfare Cost Analysis Division\, formerly the Operations and Support Cost Analysis Division\, for the Office of the Director\, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE)\, Office of the Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon. In this position\, she is responsible for the conduct of independent cost estimates (ICEs)\, cost analyses for land and naval systems\, and is the CAPE lead for developing policies and procedures related to cost estimation for the Department and for the reporting and collection of actual cost data and other related information for acquisition programs. \nShe holds a BS in Mathematical Sciences from Pennsylvania State University; an MS in Operations Research from the Florida Institute of Technology; an MS in National Security and Resource Strategy from the Dwight D. Eisenhower School\, with a Diploma in the Senior Acquisition Course; and is Level III certified in both Cost Estimating and Financial Management for Defense Acquisition and DoD Financial Management. \nMs. Erica Walters is an operations research analyst with the Land and Naval Warfare Cost Analysis Division for the Office of the Director\, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE)\, Office of the Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon.
