Defense Week Conference on EVMS

Abstract

It's a pleasure to be here with you, participating in this conference on "Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS): The New' Decision-Making Tool for Project Managers." Coming from a program management background, I remember well the "old" mandated tool ... what we knew as Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria, or C/SCSC. Unfortunately, like most program managers, I viewed the old tool as a reporting process element rather than a management enabling device. There is a reason why I'm pleased to be with you this morning, and it's not because it got me out of the Pentagon for a little while. It's because I can stand before you and declare that in adopting EVMS we have not simply renamed an old tool. EVMS in its broadest sense is a fundamentally new way of doing business, consistent with acquisition reform, and essential to improved planning and execution of our most complex programs.
