NASA EVM Capability Development StatusNASA EVM Capability Development Status

Background:

July 2009, NASA’s Office of Chief Engineer authorized the start of development activities for an in-house EVM capability for the Agency that satisfies ANSI/EIA-748 Guidelines

Responsibility for EVM Capability Development assigned

to Marshall Space Flight Center (Huntsville, AL)

Initial development funding authorized for Formulation Phase only

Current Status:

Established a strong implementation team made up of both contractors and civil servants and with substantial EVM experience

Secured Agency executive leadership support Communicated with Agency Directorate Leadership the

requirements, purpose, issues, and benefits of EVM

Received authorization and funding from HQ’s to proceed into Implementation phase of EVM Capability Development (1/26/2010)

NASA EVM Capability Development StatusNASA EVM Capability Development Status

Current Status (cont’d): Completed a draft Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) to be

signed by key stakeholders (OCFO, OCE, CIO, SMD, ESMD, Centers) to ensure that all parties understand and will proactively support EVM Capability implementation

Carried out a thorough requirements analysis to ensure that the correct requirements are identified and understood

Assessed existing NASA systems, processes, and procedures to identify gaps where ANSI-748 EVM guidelines are not being adequately met. Currently working with the Agency’s business systems community & associated working group partners to identify temporary and permanent solutions for gaps

7

Current Status (cont’d):

Completed a NASA EVM Capability Storyboard that depicts the nine EVM process areas with associated narrative descriptions and artifacts for Organization, Work/Budget Authorization, Scheduling, Accounting, Indirect Cost Mgmt, Managerial Analysis, Subcontract Mgmt, Material Mgmt, and Change Mgmt

Currently utilizing the Storyboard process information to develop one EVM System Description for the Agency (each NASA Center will develop and put in place the necessary procedures and tools that will ensure adherence to the Agency’s system description)

Current Status (cont’d): Completed Agency-level Handbooks for PP&C functional areas

Schedule Management Handbook (At HQ for sign-off & issuance) WBS Handbook (At HQ for sign-off & issuance) IBR Handbook (At HQ for sign-off & issuance) Control Account Manager (CAM) Handbook (Draft complete)

Initiated the development of a comprehensive set of NASA training materials that are consistent with the processes being prescribed in the Agency EVM System Description

Selected two pilot projects for test and validation of the NASA EVM Capability (processes, procedures, and tools) Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) Project at JSC – Exploration Sys

Missions Directorate (ESMD) Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite II (ICE SatII) Project at GSFC –

Science Missions Directorate (SMD)

ANSI-748 EVM Guideline Gap StatusANSI-748 EVM Guideline Gap Status

ANSI-748 Guideline gap analysis completed

Identified gaps were prioritized and presented to HQ

management

Temporary and permanent solutions are being worked by

appropriate Business, IT, and Programmatic organizations

Gaps identified were typically due to practices and/or procedures

that have evolved over years within NASA’s management culture

and not system problems
