Scheduling Techniques & DCMA 14 Point Assessments

Training Course Outline Duration: 1-day Audience: This course is focused on students that either are implementing Earned Value (EV) as a result of a contractual ANSI-748 Earned Value (EV) requirement or by internal Management direction. Description Through a structured series of lessons we will interactively discuss the importance of sound scheduling practices in the establishment and maintenance of a Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) for a Program. The performance metrics will be used to monitor cost, schedule and technical performance and examine how those results are utilized to analyze performance for internal and external Management. Students will leave the class with a more pragmatic idea of how to implement and use scheduling to better manage their Programs. This will be gained through classroom discussion and a practical exercise incorporated into the case studies combined with out-briefs and reviews. Ten Six training courses are built upon many years of real-world experience coupled with working for multiple clients across multiple industries. This keeps the lessons focused on practical, usable knowledge and doesn’t distract students with features or functions that, while nice to have, are not commonly used or have little practical value. It is Ten Six’s goal for attendees to leave this course with enough practical application knowledge to be a contributing member of a Program team, or as we say, allowing you to “hit the deck running”.

Description

Through a structured series of lessons we will interactively discuss the importance of sound scheduling practices in the establishment and maintenance of a Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) for a Program. The performance metrics will be used to monitor cost, schedule and technical performance and examine how those results are utilized to analyze performance for internal and external Management.

Students will leave the class with a more pragmatic idea of how to implement and use scheduling to better manage their Programs. This will be gained through classroom discussion and a practical exercise incorporated into the case studies combined with out-briefs and reviews.

Ten Six training courses are built upon many years of real-world experience coupled with working for multiple clients across multiple industries.
