Mission
The Program Management Systems Committee (PMSC) is a committee within the Procurement Division of the NDIA. The PMSC is the primary forum for building strong Industry and Government working relationships to promote integrated program management using Earned Value Management (EVM) and related program management processes and broadening the focus and membership of the PMSC through its continuing outreach initiatives and forums. The PMSC is actively working to foster mutual understanding and the effective development, implementation, and use of Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) as defined in the ANSI/EIA Standard for Earned Value Management Systems (ANSI/EIA 748). The PMSC works with the DOD and other Federal agencies on all improvement initiatives for the mutual benefit of both the Government and the Industrial base, as well as in an effort to understand and adapt to changing government procurement environment. Specific items to be addressed with this joint Industry and Government forum includes the DOD as well as US Government civilian agencies implementing EVM and related program management processes in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) initiatives. It also includes international organizations implementing EVM in accordance with the ANSI/EIA 748 guidelines.
Objectives:

Continue enhancing the forum for building strong Government and Industry working relationships to promote and communicate Integrated Program Management processes, to fully achieve Industry Ownership and provide management value for both Industry and Government. This includes the civilian agencies now implementing the EVMS as required by the Office of Management & Budget (OMB).
-
Sponsor the use of EVMS as an integration tool for visibility into technical, schedule, cost, and risk management progress for the mutual benefit of Industry and Government, in both Government and Commercial environments.
