For example, the First Annual Innovation Works! Award, sponsored by the David Consulting Group, was presented to Tania Skinner from the Intel Corporation at the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG)’s Second Annual International Software Measurement & Analysis (ISMA) Conference and Workshops, held September 9–14, 2007 at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was awarded the honor after an objective panel voted on numerous papers prior to the conference. Read the IFPUG press release documenting this event.

“Function point (productivity) analysis work...
...Team: Just as a point of feedback, Tom, the DCG consulting interviewer has done a very professional job with these sessions. I have so far participated in two and both have been very well led.
Tom was able to characterize pretty quickly what went on in the projects. He has a very non-threatening style, and asks very good questions. He finished when he learned what he needed to know so we could get on with it.
