Book Description
In FY 2009, the fed. gov¿t. planned to spend $71 billion on information technology (IT) investments. To more effectively manage such investments, agencies were directed to implement earned value management (EVM). EVM is a project management approach that provides objective reports of project status, produces early warning signs of impending schedule delays and cost overruns, and provides unbiased estimates of anticipated costs at completion. This report assessed selected agencies' EVM policies, determined whether they are adequately using EVM techniques to manage key system acquisitions, and evaluated selected investments' EVM data to determine their cost and schedule performances. Charts and tables.

Book Description
The fed. govt. spends billions of dollars on info. tech. (IT) projects each year. Consequently, it is important that projects be managed effectively to ensure that public resources are wisely invested. To this end, the OMB identifies major projects and requires agencies to identify high-risk projects that are performing poorly. At times, changes to this info. -- called a re-baselining -- are made to reflect changed development circumstances. These changes can be done for valid reasons, but can also be used to mask cost overruns and schedule delays. This report: (1) provides an update on these projects; (2) identifies OMB¿s efforts to improve the identification and oversight of these projects; and (3) summarizes the results of an IT project re-baselining report.
