FEATURES

All For One
The days of the Defense Department’s regional combatant commands acting independently are long gone—nobody disputes that. But when it comes to how the commands can and should work together there is less agreement.

No one in the government knows more about or has more experience using earned value management than the Defense Department. DOD first began using EVM, a disciplined project management methodology, in the 1960s to help identify risks and variances in the schedules and budgets of major projects.
