Earned Value Management Solutions for e-Government

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires agencies in the federal executive branch to establish and implement a documented agency policy for using Earned Value Management (EVM) and performing operational analyses for major information technology (IT) investments. This is part of the Expanded Electronic Government initiative in the President's Management Agenda.

Successful EVM Experience in Department-Wide Support

Jim Kendrick, president of the P2C2 Group, served as the principal consultant for implementing an enterprise-wide EVMS solution for a Cabinet-level Department. The Earned Value Management solution was reviewed and accepted, and it contributed to the Department's being one of only four Cabinet-level departments to achieve a score of "green" for Financial Performance (9/30/2004). The P2C2 Group performed the EVMS planning as a subcontractor to Cornet Technology, Inc.

In support of the Earned Value solution, Kendrick prepared an EVMS requirements analysis, a gap analysis to determine alignment with the 32 criteria of Standard 748, a cost benefits and alternatives analysis, COTS software recommendations, a project management plan, a Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), a User Guide, a draft policy memorandum, a determination of EVMS requirements for the to-be core financial system, and an evaluation of the initial rollout. The policy included required guidance for contract language, provided by the Department's Chief Procurement Executive. Kendrick participated in the initial rollout of the Earned Value Management System using a combination of MS Project, wInsight, and eCPIC COTS software. However, COTS solutions are customizable to the unique environment and business practices of each federal department. Ongoing Earned Value Management support was provided by the prime contractor, Cornet Technology.
