DOE guidance for Earned Value
Current Department of Energy policy, DOE Order 413.3, Program and Project
Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets, states the requirements
for contractor’s project management system
“
The industry standard for project control systems described in American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) EIA-748, Earned Value Management
Systems, must be implemented on all projects with a total project cost (TPC)
greater than $20M for control of project performance during the project
execution phase.”
Finally, below let’s look at some Best Practice guidance currently in the DOE.
The Office of Field Management has issued a series of 33 Good Practice
Guides. Though they are not official guidance, each guide describes the
good practices used throughout DOE and industry for specific topic including
Earned Value Management, and provides examples of performance
objectives, criteria, and measures.
