Observation Formula

• XPath syntax

• Access document data in/out of element

• Access properties of model element ($p)

• round($p/procurementSavingsRate * $p/procurementCostFactor * //quote/EB_QUOTE/TOTAL_PRICE)

Roll up Formula

• Adds access to discrete Observations…

• round($p/estimatedContractsPerYear * (sum(AcquisitionRepositoryContractValue) div count(AcquisitionRepositoryContractValue)) + $p/estimatedPricingUsagesPerYear * (sum(OnLinePricingBenefit) div count(OnLinePricingBenefit)))

Line of Sight Business Case Elements

Line of Sight defined1. Line of sight is a clear view of the alignment and contribution of IT to the outputs and outcomes of program performance/execution .

2. Line of sight refers to the touch points of an information element (document, e-mail, phone call, etc.) through the layers of the Federal Enterprise Architecture reference models

Line of sight concept of VCA + MDA• Choose the Outcome• Choose the activity(s) that creates the outcome• Define (map) the linkage between the activity(s) to the Federal Acquisition

chain or the shard service inputs• Create an attribute for each step in the linkage:

– Formula– Systems function(s)– Role interaction– Aggregation of multiple inputs– Risk profile– Cost benefit

• Results are simulated by a:– Calculation– Systems activity– Movement to the next process

• Results are reported by– FEA PMO mapping– an “OMB 300”– FISMA report– …

Line of Sight calculation for Business Case

• Classic Alignment of Business Outcome with Business Activity to achieve Agency Goals

• Consists of: – Identifying the Outcome of One GSA activities

• Example: Acquisition Planning – part of the Federal Acquisition Value Chain– Identifying the One GSA Business Activity (source Advantage business

case)• Loading schedules, contract templates and supply catalogues into

Advantage for Agency search– Create the performance criteria

• Develop characteristics / metrics– Contract size average of $2m– Contract volume – 1,800 per year– Procurement cost – 5% of contract value ($ 100,000)– Procurement savings – 75% of cost using wizards and templates

• Gather the best practices– Used Amazon and Forrester results

• Create the “formula”– Procurement savings = contract volume X procurement savings ($135m)
