ANSI/EIA 748-A (1998)

This ANSI Standard includes 32 guidelines for establishment and application of an integrated management system with coordination of work scope, schedule, and cost objectives and application of earned value methods for program or enterprise planning and control.

The earned value management system guidelines incorporate best business practices to provide strong benefits for program or enterprise planning and control. The processes include integration of program scope, schedule, and cost objectives, establishment of a baseline plan for accomplishment of program objectives, and use of earned value techniques for performance measurement during the execution of a program. The system provides a sound basis for problem identification, corrective actions, and management replanning as may be required.
