Course Description:
This four day course is designed to provide DAU accreditation for BCF

instructors who practice what they teach. The first day of the course is
devoted to the fundamentals of Earned Value Management (EVM) and sets
the foundation for the rest of the course. The focus of the first day is
on understanding EVM concepts, techniques, metrics, reporting,
management processes, and how EVM can enhance the ability to manage a
program. Topics include developing a credible and useful Performance
Measurement Baseline (PMB) for an Integrated Baseline Review (IBR), the
vital role of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to plan and organize

techniques used to gain insight into what is going on with a program.
Days two through four are devoted to learning and applying program
management best practices using a real-life Integrated Product Team
(IPT) program scenario where exercises are conducted in a team
environment. The focus of the last three days is on how to effectively
apply EVM, scheduling, risk management, cost estimating, and change
control techniques to manage a program using various software tools that
can facilitate the process.
