Closed Captioning [Project Manager - Female Character] I would like to welcome Kate, our new intern in the Program Management Office. Kate comes to us with a lot of experience working on small contracts. She is transitioning to our team to learn about the unique challenges of managing DoD acquisition programs. Kate, you will be working on our Lightweight, Assault and Reconnaissance, or LAR, program. Let me start by providing a little background on this program. Our warfighters expressed the need for a small, maneuverable, and easily transportable vehicle that can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the world. The solution the LAR vehicle. This is an Acquisition Category 1 program, and we are currently in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development, or EMD, phase. A single contract will be awarded for the development and manufacture of four prototype vehicles. This is a large, highly visible program, with a Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, or RDT&E budget objective of $100 million dollars and a schedule of 3 years. It will require tight controls and management to make sure we meet our cost, schedule, and performance objectives. Kate, you will play a key role in supporting the management of this LAR EMD program. Do you have any questions so far? [Kate the Intern - Female character] Not about the LAR EMD program specifically but I do have a lot of questions about how to manage such a large program! [PM] Well, I ve asked for the program team s support in explaining the use of Earned Value Management, or EVM, as a tool to manage the contractor s cost and schedule performance, provide valid data to give program managers early warning of cost and schedule performance problems, and provide information for decision making. Kate, I m sure you re already aware of the problems that programs often face with cost growth and schedule slippage. We use EVM to manage large, risky programs and keep them on track. Do you have any specific questions about EVM? [Kate the Intern - Female character] I know I have a lot to learn! My first questions are fundamental: What exactly is EVM, and why do we use it? How is EVM effectively implemented on a project? Are there any policies or guidelines that I need to know? And when is EVM applied to a contract?
[EVM Analyst, Charles Knight] Great questions Kate! I think it s also valuable to see how the Government and contractor work together to effectively use EVM to manage contract cost and schedule performance. [Kate] Thanks, I see I ll learn a lot from everyone. [Narrator] Welcome to Module 1, EVM in the Acquisition Environment.
