PSM Awards
Winners 2006 PSM Annual Award Winners 2009 At the 13th Annual PSM Users’ Group Conference, the Practical Software and Systems Measurement (PSM) project announced the following awards for 2009: Outstanding PSM Contribution Award Award Description: Contributions to the PSM Project are an integral part of transitioning measurement into practice. Outstanding contributions provide an important source of practical experiences that provide a foundation for further improvements of PSM materials. Each year, the PSM project recognizes an MVP who has made a major contribution to the PSM project in the previous year. The award recognizes those who have significantly contributed to the PSM guidance material or project. The 2009 Award for Outstanding PSM Contribution was
presented to Greg Niemann, Lockheed Martin. The 2009 Award for Outstanding PSM Contribution was
presented to Wilson Rosa, from the Air Force Cost Analysis Agency (AFCAA)
for his work in the area of software and systems measurement. Award Description: One of the primary goals of the Practical Software and Systems Measurement (PSM) initiative is to transition measurement into practice. PSM transition organizations play a major role in the delivery of PSM products and services to a diverse customer base and help to implement measurement for individual projects and organizations. Every year, the PSM project recognizes a transition organization that does an outstanding job in any or all of the following areas:
Two Organizations received the award this year. One of the 2009 Outstanding PSM Transition Organization Awards was presented to Lockheed Martin. This award was presented in recognition of the significant work that Lockheed Martin has done to actively transition PSM within its companies and throughout the industry. Through numerous presentations, PSM courses, and workshops, Lockheed Martin has been very active in introducing and promoting PSM to a large audience. Lockheed Martin uses PSM as a basis for their corporate measurement activities, so a significant number of Lockheed Martin programs and organizations have used PSM as the basis for their program and organizational measurement programs. Lockheed Martin personnel regularly participate in PSM Technical Working Group meetings and conferences, and personnel have made significant contributions to PSM products. Recent accomplishments include the partnership on developing the on-line version of the PSM course for the Defense Acquisition Organization (which will also be available to industry organizations), the work on version 2 of the Systems Engineering Leading Indicators paper, and work on updating the PSM Information Need – Measurable Concept – Measures (ICM) table. Lockheed Martin continues to support the PSM project with outstanding work. The second 2009 Outstanding PSM Transition Organization Awards was presented to University of York and York Metrics. Tony Powell and John Murdoch accepted this award. This award was presented in recognition of the work that the University of York and York Metrics has done to actively transition PSM. Measurement experts have provided presentations, training and workshops to large groups external to their corporation. University of York and York Metrics personnel have continued to participate in PSM activities and provide inputs to PSM products. In 2009, this organization has been leading work in the area of measurement to support decision making in engineering management. This addresses a key need in the measurement community and lays the foundation for future work in this area. At the 10th Annual PSM Users’ Group
Conference, the Practical Software and Systems Measurement (PSM)
project announced the following awards for 2006: Award Description: Contributions to the PSM Project are an integral part of transitioning measurement into practice. Outstanding contributions provide an important source of practical experiences that provide a foundation for further improvements of PSM materials. Each year, the PSM project recognizes an MVP who has made a major contribution to the PSM project in the previous year. The award recognizes those who have significantly contributed to the PSM guidance material or project. The 2006 Award for Outstanding PSM Contribution was presented to John Rieff , Raytheon, for his work in the area of Systems Engineering Measurement. John has done an outstanding job in the area of Systems Engineering Measurement, particularly in the area of the COSYSMO model development and SE Leading Indicators. In addition to continuing valuable contributions as an active team member, John has been willing to lead these activities as needed to ensure they continue to make progress. He has been a regular contributor to the PSM Technical Working Group meetings and the PSM Annual Conference.
Award Description: In addition to the outstanding contribution award, we also recognize certain contributors who have been major stakeholders in the PSM project, over many years. These are individuals who have contributed significantly to PSM and have participated and shared their expertise in many guidance projects. The 2006 Award for Continuing Excellence was presented to Garry Roedler, Lockheed Martin. Garry has been involved in the PSM project for many years. Most recently, he was the author of the white paper on Technical Measurement, and led the collaborative activities between PSM, INCOSE, and Industry. Garry was a key driver for the expansion of the Guide to address “Systems” Measurement, in addition to its earlier focus on software. He has also been a major driver in the COSYSMO model development, the lead for the development of SE leading indicators, and a key participant and reviewer of other PSM initiatives and papers.
Award Description: One of the primary goals of the Practical Software and Systems Measurement (PSM) initiative is to transition measurement into practice. Effective implementations provide an important source of practical experiences that provide a foundation for further improvements of PSM materials. The PSM project recognizes a project or organization that does an outstanding job in any of the following areas:
The 2006 Award for Successful Implementation was presented to Countrywide. Raymond Johnson and Craig Stauffer accepted the award. Beginning in 2004, Countrywide Financial Corporation’s CSSD Division implemented PSM and the PSM Integrated Analysis Model, which evolved into an Integrated Cause and Effect Analysis Model. The new model enhanced the understanding of the indicators within each of the CSSD-defined “Information Categories.” Cause and Effect questions were built into the models allowing management to gauge the success of IT as a business while providing value to the client. The company has had tremendous success in part because of the focus on measurement and process improvement.

Two Organizations received the award this year. One of the 2006 Outstanding PSM Transition Organization Awards was presented to NAVAIR. Rick Holcomb accepted the award. This award was presented in recognition of the significant work that NAVAIR has done to actively transition PSM within its customer base and throughout the industry. Through numerous presentations, PSM courses, and workshops, NAVAIR has been very active in introducing and promoting PSM to a large audience. A significant number of NAVAIR programs and organizations have used PSM as the basis for their program and organizational measurement programs. NAVAIR regularly participates in PSM Technical Working Group meetings and conferences, and personnel have made significant contributions to PSM products. NAVAIR continues to support the PSM project with outstanding work. The second 2006 Outstanding PSM Transition Organization Awards was presented to Q-Labs.
