Introduction: This Intent Guide was created by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Program Management Systems Committee (PMSC) to provide additional insight into the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) guidelines included in Section 2 of the ANSI/EIA-748-B Standard for Earned Value Management Systems. It is applicable to either government or industry communities for the purpose of documenting how their earned value management system complies with the ANSI/EIA 748 EVMS Guidelines.
A contractor, subcontractor, or government agency who needs to demonstrate or who wants assurance that their system complies with the standard should use this intent guide to develop a compliance map documenting how their business processes conform to the ANSI/EIA EVMS Guidelines. The objective of the compliance map is to demonstrate that a contractor, subcontractor, or agency has thought through each guideline and can describe how their business process complies with the guideline.
