during development of the initial capabilities document but no early than the
material and solution analysis phase.
When is Earned Value Management (EVM) implemented - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔EVM
is part of program management . It ensures that cost , schedule and technical
aspects of the contract are truly integrated.
In what type of contracts EVM is required - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔EVM is required on
Cost, and/or Incentive contracts valued at greater than $20M.
What is EVM? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Earned Value Management is a tool that
1. Relates the scope of the work to its associated budgets and schedule.
2. Measures the work progress in objective terms
3. States that value of the work completed in dollars and other measurable units.
What are EVM techniques? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Correlate the budgeted cost of
worked scheduled with the budget cost of work performed (BCWP)
1. 0/100 Earned Value Technique
2. Percent Start/Percent Finish EV Technique (50/50) (25/75) (80/20)
3. Percent Complete
4. Units Completed

Describe the Percent Start/Percent Finish EV Technique - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Is an
objective earned value technique tied to the start and completion of a work package
task, often referred to % assigned to the start and finish milestone such as (50/50...)
Thsi technique tends to overstate performance in the first half of the period of
performance and uderstate performance in the last half.
What is the most important step in EVM system? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Is the
establishment of the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB)or the Budgeted
Cost of Work Schedule (BCWS)
What is the PMB in and EVM? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The PMB includes the
undistributed budget, all summary level planning package budgets, and all control
account budgets. It does not include management reserve.
What is the final step of the PMB? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Is to classify work, to
allocate the budget and to time phase the control account work package budgets.
This last phase is calculate BWCS
How do we classify work packages in EVM? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔in 3 categories,
Discrete, apportioned effort, and level of effort.

Describe the realignment of the PMB - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Rebaselining, Replanning,
and Reprogramming
What is Reprogramming? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Reprogramming is a comprehensive
realignment of the remaining performance measurement baseline that results in a
total budget and/or total schedule that exceeds the contractual requirements. It is
the process that results in an Over-Target Baseline or OTB and an Over-Target
Schedule OTS.
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) formula - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔SPI=BCWP/BCWS
Estimate at Completion (EAC) formula - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔EAC=ACWP+[(BAC-
BCWP)/(Performance Factor)]
EAC Compsite formula - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔ACWPcum+[(BAC-
BCWPcum)/(CPIcum*SPIcum)]
Upper Value (worst case)
EVM Terminology - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔EAC=Estimate at Completion
BAC=Budget at Completion(current)
BCWS=Budget Cost of Work Scheduled (current)
BWCP=Budget Cost of Work Performed (earned value)
