PrimePM’s process and toolset experts…

conduct an assessment of the current state of your project control system, provide recommendations, and produce a road map to help you achieve your business objectives – whether at the corporate level or for a specific project. Our structured system assessment framework reflects the EIA-748 Standard for Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) five process areas and 32 guidelines as well as other industry guides.

The assessment reviews:

  • Business issues, objectives, and requirements for the project control system.
  • The current project control system process and workflow procedures.
  • Objective evidence and artifacts that demonstrate the ability of the system to support the intent of the guidelines, process area attributes, or earned value management best practices.
  • How the software tools were configured and implemented – the overall data architecture as well as schedule, cost, and risk data integration.
  • The quality of the data as well as data traceability. Are there process, toolset, or user issues that compromise the usefulness of the data?
  • How the process and toolsets are used on a day-to-day basis. Do the users actively and effectively use the system to manage their work?

We produce an system assessment report so you can make informed decisions. The report provides concise fact-based information, observations, and recommendations targeted to align with your business needs. As desired, we also produce a road map you can use as a basis to implement system, toolset, or user enhancements.
