Metrics Planning and Reporting (MPAR) WG

10th Earth Science Data Systems Working Group

Newport News, VA

November, 2011

Metrics Planning and Reporting Working Group

Co-Chairs:H.K. Ramapriyan (Rama), GSFC ESDIS ProjectClyde Brown, LaRC / SSAI

Mission Statement for the MPARWG Review and recommend program-level performance metrics and collection

tools that measure how well each data activity supports the NASA Science Mission Directorate’s Earth science, application and education programs.

Metrics Mission Statement To measure the success of each project in meeting its stated goals and

objectives, to show the role and contribution of each project to the NASA science, application, and education programs, and to enable an overall assessment of the success of programs such as REASoN / ACCESS / MEaSUREs and their contribution to NASA’s goals.

MPAR Working Group

Membership in WG WG membership open to NASA data and service provider community (REASoN,

ACCESS and MEaSUREs projects, DAACs, SIPSs, etc.). MEaSUREs projects PI’s and / or metrics points of contact are encouraged to

join the MPARWG and participate in its activities. We are open to suggestions for participation by others.

Scope of Work WG provides on-going MPAR review, evaluation, recommendations and metrics

evolution for the NASA Earth Science (ES) data and service provider community.

WG recommends additions, deletions or modifications to the set of metrics. Recommendations may be approved, modified or rejected by NASA HQ. If approved, NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) funded ES data and service providers will have to make recommended changes in their reporting.

WG recommends metrics collection and reporting tools, changes / improvements to those tools, etc.

BACK-UP

Players and Roles (1 of 2)

MPARWG - Review and recommend program-level performance metrics and collection tools H. (Rama) Ramapriyan (GSFC) and Clyde Brown (LaRC / SSAI) – Co-Chairs – set agenda, conduct business, gather and forward recommendations to Frank Lindsay for transmission to NASA HQ.

Frank Lindsay (GSFC) – Overall coordination of ES-DSWG activities, reporting to HQ.

Martha Maiden (HQ) – Review recommendations, coordinate with HQ Program Managers, Program Scientists, Study Managers. Approve, disapprove or modify recommendations.

Steve Berrick (HQ) – Program Manager for ACCESS projects. Sets policies, reporting requirements.

MPARWG Members – participate (vigorously) in discussions preceding recommendations

Greg Hunolt (SGT) – support co-chairs in conducting business (e.g., keep minutes of meetings/telecons, “shepherd” recommendations through MPARWG voting process and prepare for approval)

Players and Roles (2 of 2)Metrics Collection and Reporting:

H. (Rama) Ramapriyan (GSFC) – Lead – Ensure collection of metrics from all activities (MEaSUREs / REASoN / ACCESS), development of summary reports required by HQ.

Randy Barth (ADNET) – Maintain web-based metrics collection tool (MCT) originally developed by UMD.

Kevin Murphy (GSFC), Natalie Pressley (Columbus) – Support MEaSUREs transition to metrics reporting via EMS (ESDIS Metrics System).

Frank Lindsay (GSFC) – Coordinate all ES-DSWG activities; liaison with HQ.

Martha Maiden (HQ) – Coordinate with HQ Program Managers, Program Scientists, Study Managers. Set policy, establish reporting requirements, liaison with OMB to provide overall summary reports of all NASA Earth science data system activities.

Steve Berrick (HQ) – ACCESS Program Manager – Sets policy for ACCESSes, establish reporting requirements.

MEaSUREs / REASoN / ACCESS Projects – Enter reports using metrics tools.

Greg Hunolt (Columbus) – Support Rama in contacting projects, resolving any technical issues, ensuring consistency, generating summary reports, and reporting status.

Jody Garner (ADNET) – Maintain operational web-site to collect metrics; provide technical help with web-site to reporting projects.

MPAR WG – Recommendation Processes

MPAR WG Process to adopt a recommendation: Majority vote of MPAR WG members to adopt

proposed recommendation as a WG draft; One MPAR WG member appointed “shepherd”; 30 day period of NASA ES activity review for WG

draft (not all ES activities are represented by MPAR WG members) coordinated by shepherd;

Shepherd assembles comments, drafts revisions to recommendation per activity feedback, presents summary of feedback and draft revisions to full WG;

WG considers revisions and need for ‘beta test’; Majority vote of MPAR WG members to adopt revised

WG draft; Shepherd coordinates Impact Analysis, Rationale,

Justification Two thirds vote of responding MPAR WG members to

adopt final recommendation package and send to HQ / SMD.

MPARWG Membership as of October 12, 2011
