An EVMS-compliant baseline and monthly performance reporting for a secure federal facility under strict agency oversight.
The agency required earned value reporting aligned to ANSI/EIA-748 on a secure facility with strict access rules and classified scope. The original baseline had cost and schedule built separately, with control accounts that did not match the work breakdown structure. The first agency review was weeks away.
The approach.
- 01
Baseline rebuilt to standard
We aligned the WBS, control accounts and Primavera P6 schedule, then cost-loaded every work package to a single performance measurement baseline.
- 02
Earned value methods set
Each work package got a defined earned value technique, so percent complete reflected real progress, not opinion.
- 03
Variance analysis with a story
Monthly variance reports explained every CPI and SPI threshold breach with a cause, an impact and a corrective action.
- 04
Ready for the reviewers
We prepared the team and the data for agency surveillance reviews, with traceable records from baseline to report.
The outcome.
“Federal reviewers do not grade effort. They grade the data. We made sure the data could answer every question.”
