To celebrate International Project Management Day (Nov. 3) each year, the Metropolitan St. Louis Project Management Institute<\/a> (PMI) Chapter awards a \u201cProject of the Year\u201d and a \u201cProject Manager of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dan was recognized for his management of\u00a0Agile software development teams and their support staff (e.g., quality and configuration management, system administration) who released\u00a0nearly 20\u00a0on-time
\ndeliveries for multiple web applications. These latest-technology, highly-secure web applications interact with various military web services to provide real time, at-a-glance information about global resources and missions to U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command (AMC) command and control centers in an easy-to-use, highly intuitive format. Not only has the ADEV Team released all the web application deliveries on time, their functionality has exceeded customer expectations.\"dsu_cap-2\"<\/p>\n

Dan guided the ADEV Team through a highly successful implementation of an Agile software development philosophy<\/a> employing Service-Oriented and Event Driven Architectures. Dan created a program culture that relies heavily on Agile principles like daily stand-ups, self-directed teams, incremental functionality in releases, monthly customer reviews, and regular retrospectives. Dan ensured development teams were supported with the proper resources and tools they needed to accomplish tasks and achieve objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cDan Shaffer truly deserves this recognition,\u201d noted Ron Howard, VP of SuprTEK\u2019s Solution Engineering and Delivery business unit of which ADEV is a part.\u00a0 \u201cUnder Dan\u2019s leadership, Team ADEV is delivering functional software releases that excite the customer,\u201d added Ron.\"dan_pmi_cap-2\"<\/p>\n

Dan accepted the award on behalf of the entire ADEV Team. \u201cI am blessed to be surrounded and supported by an outstanding group of professionals,\u201d Dan said when he accepted the award. \u201cTeam ADEV has worked hard to accomplish so much for Air Mobility Command, USTRANSCOM, and the men and women in the military services,\u201d continued Dan.\u00a0 \u201cWe are going to continue to work hard for our customer to ensure the program\u2019s success going forward as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

SuprTEK is the prime contractor delivering the suite of web applications.<\/p>\n
