EVM

Nova not only can assist your company in understanding and implementing Earned Value Management, we think it is such a powerful tool, we use it ourselves. Through supporting complex projects such as the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, Multi Role Helicopter and Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft, Nova has implemented EVM internally to ensure we have accurate data to assess our progress in supporting these activities. Through use of commercially available software tools, the experienced Nova engineering staff are able to generate cost and schedule metrics which allow us to gauge how well we are actually performing against our planned rate of effort.

Many companies which have not dealt with EVM systems before will wish to avoid learning the hard lessons which come with implementing new processes. With current and continual use of the EVM process, Nova is exceptionally well positioned to help companies avoid the pitfalls of establishing an EVM system. As EVM systems tend to use and manipulate sensitive cost and schedule data, Nova recognises that a customer will want to tightly control access to their EVM systems. Accordingly, we do not seek to run EVM for you, but instead, we will develop, set-up and train your own people to run EVM. However, ‘Set and forget’ systems are not what we are about, and should you require additional refinement of your EVM process as the environment develops, our people can assist with mentoring your staff through the evolving EVM process.
