How Deltek Cobra™ Helps

The Earned Value Management System (EVMS) guidelines contained in the ANSI EIA-748 Standard incorporate best business practices that have proven to bring strong benefits for program or enterprise planning and control.

The 748 process guide includes recommendations on project scope definition, schedule, and cost objectives. It also calls for the establishment of a baseline plan to accomplish program objectives and use of earned value techniques to measure performance during project execution. The system described in the standard provides a sound basis for problem identification, corrective actions, and change control.

This paper describes how Cobra has been designed to be the best-in-class application  program that supports the EVMS process.
