Deputy Acquisition Manager PEO C4I PMW 770; Program Management, 0340-NO-05, SPAWAR PEO C4I, 4301 Pacific HWY, San Diego, CA 92110
Designated by the Program Manager as the PMW 770 Risk Management Coordinator; scheduled Risk Review Boards (RRBs) with the PM, DPM, PAPM's, APMs and support personnel to review program risks. Each of these meetings provided a detailed overview of each risk and the associated mitigation plan. This has been especially beneficial to the PM and DPM when they brief the PEO on their programs and which programs risks require further review and oversight. Completed a "total revision" of the PMW 770 Risk Management Plan (RMP) ahead of proposed schedule and submitted it to the Program Manager for his review and approval.
Analyzed, identified and reviewed each of the PMW 770 program risks on the PEO Risk Exchange Program selecting the most current red risks for review by the Acquisition Manager assisting him in selecting the top three red risks for the Program Manager to brief Admiral Burroughs at the PEO monthly staff meetings.

Analyzed and updated individual program information in the ASN (RDA) Dashboard database for the following programs: CSRR, LBUCS, OE-538 and SubHDR for two reporting periods; February and June 2011. Analyzed and prepared briefings for the PM and DPM; annotating information areas in each report that had been changed. I scheduled and participated in meetings for the PM, DPM, PAPMs, and APMs to review the dashboard information and to make the final changes for the Program Executive Office review. In addition to the dashboard reports; I was also responsible for assisting the APM's in preparing 10 program PHARR reports and submitting the final reports to the Program Executive Office for their review.

Tracked all Project Definition Documents (PDDs) revalidations over a period of five months and presented the PM, DPM and staff a weekly status update. Verified all revised PDD's were correctly entered into the TRIM database.

Completed all DAWIA training well ahead of established deadlines by obtaining my Level I certification for program management in less than five months after reporting to PMW 770. Completed the following courses towards my DAWIA Level II certification; SAM 101, ACQ 201A, ACQ 201B, PMT 251, with additional courses CLM 012 and CLM 017. I have one class remaining to complete my DAWIA Level II certification prior to the February 2012 deadline. Completed 141 Continuous Learning (CL) points (only 80 required); twenty months in advance of my November 13, 2012 deadline.

February 2010 to January 2011

San Diego, CA 92110
Implemented the timely execution of the PMW 770 Program Review (PR) held December 7 - 9, 2010. Developed a standardized time-line to track and brief all aspects of each program review.

Coordinated all LANT and PAC Business Area Manager (BAM) meetings with the DPM and staff to plan for the PEO C4I Mid-year Performance Agreement (PA) review. My proactive approach helped to establish better communications between respective commands on the defined requirements for the brief and the types of information required to have in completed prior to the established deadline.

I established a formal process and template for writing and submitting new Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's). My new SOP template and processes have become the standard format used for all PMW 770 SOP documents and have made a positive contribution to formalizing processes that were previously not documented. In addition to these accomplishments I established a standardized naming convention for each of the new SOP's listed on the PMW 770 Undersea Integration Program SE2 website.

Represented PMW 770 at the Bi-weekly Director of Operations and Editorial Board meetings held at the Program Executive Office (PEO). From these meetings I was able to make recommendations to the Deputy Program Manager (DPM) on the future PMW 770 office move in FY2011 and also the types of information that is required to have articles submitted for release to the public about major events within the submarine communications and integration community. Ensured that all communications products e.g. Waveguides, Data Calls, and plans were delivered on time and error free.
