The authors report findings, both solid and speculative, after six years of an ongoing effort to collect, organize, and understand all available empirical research on the use of games to create environments in which people learn.
Earned Value Management Meets Big DataGlen Alleman
The Earned Value Management System (EVMS) maintains period–by–period data in its underlying databases. The contents of the Earned Value repository can be considered BIG DATA, characterized by three attributes – 1) Volume: Large amounts of data; 2) Variety: data comes from different sources, including traditional data bases, documents, and complex records; 3) Velocity: the content is continually being updated by absorbing other data collections, through previously archived data, and through streamed data from external sources.
With this time series information in the repository, analysis of trends, cost and schedule forecasts, and confidence levels of these performance estimates can be calculated using statistical analysis techniques enabled by the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) algorithm provided by the R programming system. ARIMA provides a statistically informed Estimate At Completion (EAC) and Estimate to Complete (ETC) to the program in ways not available using standard EVM calculations. Using ARIMA reveals underlying trends not available through standard EVM reporting calculations.
With ARIMA in place and additional data from risk, technical performance and the Work Breakdown Structure, Principal Component Analysis can be used to identify the drivers of unanticipated EAC.

changes, and facilitates the implementation by the Services of posture initiatives
proposed by the Combatant Commands and evaluated and recommended by OSD and
the Joint Staff.
Supported the Joint Staff J8 in assessing global defense posture for the 2010 Quadrennial
Defense Review. Designed a risk-based framework for assessing the adequacy of U.S.
posture to accomplish global and regional strategic objectives. Supported
OUSD(Policy) in evaluating Theater Posture Plan posture initiatives submitted by
regional Combatant Commands.
● Developed risk management methodologies and analyzed risk to critical infrastructure and
key resources for the DHS Office of Infrastructure Protection.
Assisted with development of IDA Common Risk Model, which allows analysis, on a
common basis across industry sectors, of risk to critical infrastructure assets and systems
presented by a wide range of potential terrorist threats.
Designed and helped Oak Ridge National Laboratory build and demonstrate a decision
support system that could be used by DHS managers in managing risk associated with
critical infrastructure.
● Supported the DHS Office of Policy Development’s Nuclear Response and Short Term
Recovery Requirements Planning Team in assessing the consequences of a nuclear attack
3. 2
on the United States, developing requirements for capabilities to mitigate an attack, and
making recommendations for the DHS Integrated Planning Guidance.
● Assessed potential alternative future U.S. national security asset structures for the DoD
Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation.
Assessed capabilities across the U.S. government for conducting strategic
communication, to include public diplomacy, international broadcasting, and
psychological operations. Assessed the output and costs of operations and proposed
options for potential future force structures.
Supported assessment of current and potential future interagency capabilities to provide
homeland security and manage the consequences of disasters and terrorist attacks.
● Analyzed the effectiveness of anti-terrorism technologies seeking SAFETY Act liability
protection for the IDA Office of SAFETY Act Implementation.
