SUMMARY:ICEAA Washington Capital Area Chapter Virtual Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Cerberus Training Dataset\nTuesday\, April 5\n11:30am-12:30pm EDT \nSpeakers: Daniel Germony & Adam James \nCost estimating and analysis regularly involves proprietary or sensitive data\, which limits analyst’s ability to share their results\, techniques\, and methods. 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. Adam received the International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association’s (ICEAA) 2016 Technical Achievement Award. He also has been active in contributing to the community knowledge base\, winning best paper in both the “Analysis & Modeling\, Machine Learning” and “Methods\, Data Collection & Management” categories at the ICEAA Workshop in 2019.

SUMMARY:OEM COG - Finding the Story in Your Data
DESCRIPTION:Attending this event counts as 2 hour of training or 0.2 points towards your CCEA recertification. \nFinding the Story in Your Data\nThursday\, April 14\, 2022 – 12:00pm ET/9:00am PT \nThis presentation will cover data visualization and how to find the story within your data. It discusses how people process information and offers tips for creating effective graphics using data visualization principles and techniques to inform decision-making. Different approaches to visualizing data will be discussed including decluttering your graphics\, choosing informative visuals\, focusing the audience’s attention using pre-attentive attributes\, thinking like a designer\, and implementing effective storytelling techniques.

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.
