We help you measure cost, schedule, and performance with precision. Get the accurate, real-time data you need to manage cost, schedule, and scope.
Intra Management Solutions delivers customized solutions to help you fulfill your EVM requirements — empowering data-based decision making and contract compliance. In fact, the government often requires the use of EVM for large contracts or major capital investment projects to ensure foolproof standards compliance. Our seasoned team of EVM experts will provide the roadmaps to organizational readiness that your project needs.
This data source is simply the budgeted amount for the approved scope of work. It is calculated in relation to the project budget at completion (BAC) which allows it to serve as a baseline. PV may also be referred to as Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS).
Planned Value is a budgetary value established by the program team.
Costs represents the actual money spent to date on project expenses. This includes employee compensation, equipment, supplies, contractor fees, travel and related expenses, indirect costs, etc.
This percentage quantifies the value of the work that has been completed — or that the project has generated — to date. EV may also be referred to as the budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP).

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a program management approach that integrates scope, schedule, cost, and actual performance to provide an objective view of program health. Rather than simply comparing budget to actual costs, EVM helps determine how much work was planned, how much was actually accomplished, what it cost, and where the program is likely headed.
For government contractors, EVM may be a contractual requirement, but its value extends well beyond compliance. When implemented effectively, EVM provides an early-warning system that helps program managers identify cost and schedule problems, evaluate performance trends, and take corrective action before issues become more difficult and expensive to resolve.
IMS helps organizations implement and improve EVM processes, systems, and program controls so EVM becomes a management capability—not simply a reporting requirement.
An effective Earned Value Management System (EVMS) requires more than producing monthly reports. The underlying processes must consistently integrate program scope, organizational responsibilities, schedule, budgets, actual costs, performance measurement, forecasting, and change control.
IMS helps contractors assess their EVMS environment, identify process or system gaps, establish compliant program-control practices, and prepare teams for activities such as Integrated Baseline Reviews (IBRs) and ongoing customer or government surveillance.
Our focus is not only on demonstrating compliance, but on building an EVMS that program teams canoperate effectively and sustain throughout the program lifecycle.
EVM becomes valuable when program managers can use the information to understand why performance is changing and what is likely to happen next.
IMS helps organizations integrate cost, schedule, technical performance, risk, and forecasting so EVM metrics provide meaningful management insight. This can include analyzing cost and schedule variances, evaluating performance trends, reviewing Estimates at Completion (EACs), identifying root causes, and determining where corrective action may be required.
The objective is to move the conversation from “What numbers do we need to report?” to “What are the numbers telling us about the program?”
The Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) is a critical foundation of effective EVM. The schedule establisheswhen work is planned to occur, while the EVMS measures the value of that work against actual performance and cost.
If the schedule, work breakdown structure, budgets, control accounts, and actual performance are not properly aligned, EVM metrics may provide an incomplete or misleading picture of program health.
IMS brings scheduling and earned value expertise together to help organizations align scope, schedule, budget, resources, and performance measurement into an integrated program-management environment. This provides greater confidence that EVM results reflect how the program is actually being executed.
Yes. Organizations do not always need to replace their existing tools or completely redesign their EVMS to achieve meaningful improvement.
IMS can assess existing processes and systems, identify gaps, improve integrations, strengthen scheduling and program controls, support EVMS implementation, and provide experienced EVM and scheduling professionals to augment internal teams.
Our experience includes environments using tools such as Deltek Cobra, Open Plan, PM Compass, Primavera P6, and Microsoft Project, as well as integrations with financial and enterprise systems.
Whether an organization is establishing an EVMS for a new contract, preparing for an IBR, improving an existing environment, or looking for specialized program-controls expertise, IMS helps create an EVM capability designed to support compliance, predictability, and better management decisions.
