DOE EVMS Videos: Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) Training Video Snippets

As part of Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Project Management’s (OAPM) continuing efforts to further enhance both communication and instruction among DOE and its Earned Value (EVM) Management contractors and EVMS project managers regarding EVMS requirements, OAPM contracted with Humphreys & Associates (H&A) to develop Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) training videos. These videos, referred to as Snippets, are available as DOE EVMS training resources within the website of the Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG), in a section dedicated to EVMS Training Snippets.
