Discussion Brief on the
Center for Earned Value
Management (CEVM)
1
Background
•
ASN(RDA) established an EVM Integrated
Product Team
– Issued policy memorandum requiring
implementation of EVM on all Navy
acquisition program ACAT I-IV that meet or
exceed application threshold
– Approved the creation of a Navy Center of
Excellence for EVM to adopt a centralized
approach to managing EVM
– Developing an Earned Value Metrics
Management System to meet EVM reporting
needs and fulfill its broader metrics reporting
requirements.

DoN EVM Mission Statement
• EVM will be implemented on all Navy
acquisition programs ACAT I-IV that
meet or exceed application thresholds;
PMs accountable for using EVM data to
properly manage their program’s
performance

DISCUSSION
Summary of Recommendations: Recommend
Navy Center of Excellence for EVM (CEVM)
to enable a centralized approach for:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Policy and regulations for EVM and acquisition
planning
Conducting contractor EVM System reviews
Providing technical and program support, improving
latency/accuracy of EVM data, providing analysis to
leadership.
Determining training needs, ensuring consistent
and effective training standards, and creating and
maintaining a mobile training team

Goals of the CEVM
• Implement EVM more effectively and consistently across all
Navy acquisition programs—ACAT I-IV—that meet or exceed
application thresholds.
• Decrease the percentage of Navy programs experiencing cost
growth, and minimize the overrun where cost growth is
unavoidable
• Assist program managers in using EVM data to better manage
their program
• Provide the ASN (RD&A) with timely and reliable information on
the status of the Navy’s programs
• Ensure the Navy’s personnel with EVM responsibilities have the
necessary training and toolsets
• Work with the SYSCOMS to develop a EVM competency
capability
