“The final LM strength in this area was for use of an integrated management assessment tool to track cost and schedule. This will enable LM to manage schedule and cost proactively. The use of such a tool is very important given the environment in which CEV and the entire Constellation Program will be operating in over the next several years. Use of this integrated management assessment tool is also of value to the Government in that it provides the ability to quickly respond to the early stages of a developmental project which will help in quantifying potential schedule problems that might arise as a result of program management decisions.”
