Lifecycle Management Work GroupMoving Toward Geospatial Portfolio ManagementTuesday, August 04, 2009
Session Purpose • Provide brief update and answer Coordination Group (CG) questions on Lifecycle Work Group activities and progress • Obtain CG feedback on • Proposed reorganization of the current A-16 theme structure and definitions • Validate theme organization • Review approach and validate outcomes • Process and scope for stakeholder review of proposed themes and associated datasets • Additional stakeholder sessions to discuss lifecycle stages, roles & responsibilities, and maturity assessment tools • Options for dataset walk through prior to validation of proposed themes and associated datasets • Candidates for prototyping roles and responsibilities outlined in the A-16 Supplemental Guidance - with ROI in mind
Vision, Approach and Outcomes • Attain a shift in Federal Enterprise focus from individual geospatial development efforts in agencies/business units to meeting government-wide demands/needs of the customers • Develop tools, approaches and governance to encourage new behaviors for optimization of both enterprise as well as agency/business objectives with built in decision rights and accountability • Tie data portfolio into overall geospatial asset portfolio management which includes data, funding, infrastructure, personnel, hardware, software, applications, services and products • Intended outcome • One Government-One Team (Federal, State, and Local) • Geospatial data as a strategic asset managed as a portfolio • Improved policy development, program decisions and business outcomes • Increased ROI: dollars and business support
Premise • Need for leadership, building and maintaining strong leadership • Envision 80% development & governance accomplished through specific themes/communities; 20% being driven centrally • A significant portion of portfolio management focusing on adding value to business level to meet stakeholder requirements • Need synergy at both the business level and the enterprise level to achieve integrated solutions and increased ROI benefiting from economies of scale
Portfolio ManagementFrom Project to Portfolio Management • Portfolio Management Activities • Strategic Alignment • Gaps/Redundancies Identified • Capability Based Planning • Risk Management • Enterprise Budgeting • Etc. • Activities Underway • Proposing candidate themes based on A-16 principles • Talking with current theme managers re: prototyping A-16 • roles and responsibilities • Identifying and documenting Management Practices • Creating portfolio dashboards • Harmonizing management Right Projects Done Portfolio Management • Performance Management Activities • Baseline Performance Estimates • Performance Indicators / Measures • Performance Metrics • Dashboard Reporting • Etc. • Activities Underway • Identifying benchmarks by lifecycle stage • Creating performance dashboards • Inserting walk through results to dashboards • Framing a maturity model • Creating Management Practice rating criteria • and summary sheets Getting The Intended Benefits Performance Management • Project Management Activities • Baseline Cost Estimates • Scope Management • Time Management • Quality Management • Risk Management • Etc. • Activities Underway • Validating stages of lifecycle & • benchmarks – develop dashboards • Walking datasets through the lifecycle • stages – 4 completed, more to come • Identifying Management Practices from • walk through – many identified, 2 being • developed Project Management Projects Done Right Complexity / Maturity 5
Management Practices Identify Evaluate Rank Implement Share Maturity Model
Moving Toward Portfolio Management • OMB Circular A-16 Appendix E identified 34 themes • September 2008 data call resulted in approx. 140 “nationally significant” datasets under these themes • In May 2009, a small group evaluated the A-16 framework against the principles and other existing geospatial organizational frameworks • Participants from: DOD, EPA, FGDC, GSA, Census, NOAA, USGS • Facilitated by: Ken Shaffer (FGDC) • The goal was to collaboratively consider options for re-organizing OMB Circular A-16 themes and associated datasets
Creating Geospatial Themes Process: The group conducted a brainstorming exercise to organize themes Map themes to multiple frameworks including ISO, A-16, The National Map, GIS for the Nation, GOS Communities, DHS Feature Base, HSPD-7, and TIGER Applied the geospatial data principles (from A-16 Supplemental Guidance) to evaluated this initial list of themes, identified “no brainers”, and discussed organizational options for the remaining themes Results: A list of potential new themes and definitions
Organization of Datasets by Themes – Example Boundaries (DRAFT)
Proposed New Organization of A-16 Themes Geology Imagery Land Use-Land Cover Structures & Facilities* Transportation Utilities & Communications* Water – Inland Water – Oceans & Coasts *Framework working session participants flagged this theme as “needing further discussion” • Agriculture & Food* • Biology • Boundaries • Cadastre • Climate and Weather • Cultural & Demographic Statistics* • Cultural Resources • Elevation • Geodetic Control
Coordination of A-16 Themes • The A-16 Supplemental Guidance discusses an approach for coordinating datasets within and across themes • A theme manager is a person designated for each theme per the A-16 Supplemental Guidance • Nationally significant datasets are defined in the A-16 Supplemental Guidance • A theme manager is responsible for working with theme stakeholders to identify specific datasets they consider “nationally significant” • A process for adopting dataset recommendations is found in the A-16 Supplemental Guidance
Potential A-16 Reorganization – Review Proposal • Existing Agencies with A-16 responsibilities • 10 FGDC Sub-Committee Chairs • Agency Geospatial Committees (DOI EGIM, EPA GIS Work Group Steering Committee, etc.) • Agency Enterprise Architecture Work Groups • Others?
Portfolio ManagementFrom Project to Portfolio Management • Recommendations for Proceeding • Stakeholder review of proposed themes and • associated datasets • Stakeholder sessions on lifecycle stages, roles & • responsibilities, and dashboards • Prototype roles & responsibilities in Supplemental • Guidance with ROI • Assess & recommend policy development • Portfolio Management Activities • Strategic Alignment • Gaps/Redundancies Identified • Capability Based Planning • Rish Management • Enterprise Budgeting • Etc. Right Projects Done Portfolio Management • Recommendations for Proceeding • Test benchmarking & develop stage • assessment tool • Develop Management Practices • dashboard and tools • Complete maturity model • Identify performance metric gaps • Evaluate efficiency using ROI methods • Stakeholder sessions on lifecycle stages, roles & responsibilities, and dashboards • Performance Management Activities • Baseline Performance Estimates • Performance Indicators / Measures • Performance Metrics • Dashboard Reporting • Etc. Getting The Intended Benefits Performance Management • Project Management Activities • Baseline Cost Estimates • Scope Management • Time Management • Quality Management • Risk Management • Etc. • Recommendations for Proceeding • Continue walking datasets through • lifecycle • Develop consistent evaluations process • and tools • Continue development of Management • Practices tools & dashboards Project Management Projects Done Right Complexity / Maturity 15
