Integrated Program Management Case Study Briefing LAR Vehicle Program Contract Status as of [Month/Year] Observations and Action Plan Team [A/B/C/D]

Overview Selected Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) analysis—two or three charts Schedule drivers and cost drivers Management charts—three to five charts Cost trends Issues and risks Summary of program issues and recommended solutions Focus on qualitative causal analysis in your briefing and consider the story being told (i.e., the why).

Discuss what these metrics mean. Selected EVM Metrics Cost Performance Index (CPI) = Schedule Performance Index (SPI) = Baseline Execution Index (BEI) = Contract Modifications ($) = Contract Modifications (%) = PMB Revisions (%) = (Performance Measurement Baseline) Discuss what these metrics mean.

IMS Analysis Use two or three charts to show: Schedule health issues Critical path to the next two milestones (insert critical path schedule) Slipping tasks with float analysis

Technical Performance Status Current status of Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) Insert Technical Performance Measurement (TPM) charts, as applicable, that support your “story”.

Discuss how you identified these drivers. Schedule Drivers [Driver 1] [Driver 2] [Driver 3] Discuss how you identified these drivers.

Discuss how you identified these drivers. Cost Drivers [Driver 1] [Driver 2] [Driver 3] Discuss how you identified these drivers.

Key Management Charts—Chart 1 Select three to five Empower charts that support your “story”. (Use Empower line charts, not bar or column charts.) [Chart 1]
