Earned Value Management ValidationCharter
Based on a perceived need and desire by both
industry and government to establish a formal
standardized EVM system acceptance process, the
NDIA Program Management Systems Committee (PMCS)
established a working group to determine if the
need exists and, if it does, develop a formal
system acceptance process that will meet the
needs of industry, their suppliers, and Federal
government agencies.

  requirements of all stakeholders (government
