Tools

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a tool for objectively assessing a program's/project's progress meeting technical requirements within a given cost (budget baseline) and schedule.  The budget baseline in this case is not the actual budget (funding) but rather is strictly controlled program management baseline (PMB) against which progress can be assessed and cost and schedule performance measured.   Used properly, EVM is a valuable tool for proactively identifying issues; for developing solution paths; and for keeping track of technical performance/progress, resources, cost performance, and schedule performance.

EVM is not a monthly report. EVM is a continuous process/methodology for managing resources, cost, and schedule by combining technical criteria to those elements.  Success is measured by actual progress or milestones achieved - not by the passage of time or simply the spending of money.

The SMO contains KSC's representative to the NASA Earned Value Focal Point Council.
