What is an EVMS?

EVMS is an integrated set of policies, procedures, and practices to support
program and project management as a decision enhancing tool and a critical
component of risk management. An EVMS:

(1) Effectively integrates a project’s work scope, cost, and schedule into a
single performance measurement baseline (PMB).

(2) Reliably tracks:
(a) planned value (PV) of work to be performed or the budgeted cost
for work scheduled (BCWS),
(b) earned value (EV) of actual work performed or the budgeted cost
for work performed (BCWP), and
(c) actual cost (AC) of work performed (ACWP).

(3) Provides performance measures against the PMB.

(4) Provides means of identifying, reviewing, approving, and incorporating
changes to the PMB.

(5) Provides trend analysis and evaluation of estimated cost at completion.

(6) Provides a sound basis for problem identification, corrective actions, and
management re-planning.

What is the purpose?
EVMS measures actual performance of work scope and the associated cost and
schedule versus an agreed to baseline plan, while using disciplined means of
baseline change control for documenting any changes to the agreed to baseline
plan.

Why use it?
EVMS is a best practice and standard adopted by the Federal Government and the
project management industry. DOE O 413.3A, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) require EVMS.
Projects requesting funds are required to provide EVMS data as part of the
business case per OMB Circular A-11
