“How accurate are the IEACs we rely on?” This question has sparked debates in every EVMS room I’ve been in. But instead of more theory, we wanted data. So in 2023, Humphreys & Associates launched a study: → 12 real-world projects → IEACs tested at 25%, 50%, and 75% complete → Compared against final actual cost Here’s what we asked: Do traditional IEAC formulae actually predict final cost? Are some methods more reliable than others? Are we unfairly doubting contractors using flawed models? We used 5 IEAC methods + a blend average. And we’re looking to expand this dataset. Want to contribute real data and shape better forecasting?

Yes, Sherlock was right: “Data! Data! Data! I can’t make bricks without clay.”

Most companies train for compliance. (The smart ones train for capability.) If you’re in project controls, government contracting, or program management… You already know that an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) isn’t just a box to tick for compliance. But here’s the problem: ✅ People attend EVMS training → learn the terms ❌ But they never learn how to apply it in real-world project environments That’s where most training fails. This blog post breaks it down: How to build an EVMS training program that actually sticks — Not just to meet audit requirements — But to build internal capability — And drive project performance over time If you manage large programs, federal contracts, or oversee control account managers… This read is a must. Here’s the link: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gsgRkMEF P.S. The biggest myth about EVMS? That it’s just for compliance. Let’s change that.

✨ EUG Workshop Spotlight: Humphreys & Associates, Inc. OTB/OTS Implementation Course This one day workshop provides an in-depth look at the formal reprogramming process or the establishment of a performance measurement baseline (PMB) in excess of the contract target cost also known as an Over Target Baseline (OTB). This may also include an Over Target Schedule (OTS) as the PMB will need to reflect a revised baseline schedule when the remaining contract work results in a date beyond the contract completion date. The implementation process from the decision to conduct formal reprogramming to the actual preparation of the OTB/OTS proposal is presented in detail. This includes alternatives that may be considered other than OTB/OTS implementation. Notifying the customer of the intent to implement an OTB/OTS and the subsequent review and approval process are also covered. This workshop also includes the requirements for reporting the reprogramming adjustments in the Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR) or Integrated Program Management and Data Analysis Report (IPMDAR). Subcontractors may also request implementation of an OTB/OTS from the prime contractor. How this situation should be managed and reported is also discussed. Seats are limited - register today!

🚀 Earning Value for Material: Avoiding Common Pitfalls in EVMS A common question in Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) is: “When is the right time to claim earned value (BCWP) for material?” The answer? It depends on the category of material involved. In their insightful blog post, Humphreys & Associates break down Guideline 21 of the EIA-748 EVMS Standard, which emphasizes that earned value should be claimed at the point most suitable for the material category—not simply at receipt. Here’s why it matters: 📉 Avoiding Misleading Reporting Claiming earned value for all material at receipt can falsely indicate project progress. Imagine reporting that you’re 70% complete when no deliverables are ready—your customer won’t be happy. 📊 Aligning with Best Practices For engineering materials, EV is typically earned at receipt. For manufacturing materials, it’s often earned when issued from inventory. Applying the right method ensures accurate and credible reporting. 💡 Key Takeaway A one-size-fits-all approach to earning value for material can lead to discrepancies, corrective actions, and customer frustration. Properly distinguishing material categories is critical to EVMS success. Need expert guidance on EVMS techniques?
