He has performed all aspects of software development and software management. One of his strengths has been reorganizing troubled software projects, assessing their progress applying methodology and plans for completion and estimated cost to complete. He has personally managed some of these projects to successful completion. He has created and implemented software management policies, and reorganized (as well as designed and managed) development projects. His company, Galorath Incorporated, has developed the SEER applications, methods, and training for 1) software, 2) hardware, electronics & Systems, 3) Information Technology, and 4) Manufacturing cost, schedule, risk analysis, and management decision support. He is one of the principal developers of the SEER-SEM software evaluation model. His teaching experience includes development and presentation of courses in Software Cost, Schedule, and Risk Analysis; Software Management; Software Engineering; to name a few. Mr. Galorath is a sought after speaker. Among Mr. Galorath’s published works are papers encompassing software cost modeling, testing theory, software life cycle error prediction and reduction, and software and systems requirements definition. Mr. Galorath was awarded the 2009 Society of Cost Estimation and Analysis (SCEA) Lifetime Achievement award for contributions to the industry; and the 2001 International Society of Parametric Analysts (ISPA) Freiman Award, lifetime achievement award, awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the theoretical or applied aspects of parametric modeling. Dan is a contributing author of “IT Measurement, Advice from the Experts” (Prentice Hall) and Mr Galorath’s book “Software Sizing, Estimation, and Risk Management” was published March 2006.
