📅 A fundamental management tool is a well-planned schedule… and here we are providing best practices to establish a program schedule and what that means. Did you know a Guide exists for creating a quality project schedule? 📹Watch ClearPlanner Tom Polen walk-through the US Government Accountability Office Schedule Assessment Guide highlights here: https://lnkd.in/e9HsZzB6 There are several benefits to having an integrated and reliable schedule, including: 🔹 It can show when major events are expected as well as the completion dates for all activities leading up to them, which can help determine if the program's parameters are realistic and achievable 🔹 It can contribute to an understanding of the cost impact, such as if the program does not finish on time 🔹 It can help program's use funds effectively by specifying when work will be performed in the future and measuring program performance against an approved plan 🔹 It can serve as an early warning that a program is slipping behind and exactly where the delays are 🔹 It can facilitate an analysis of how change affects the program 🔹 And a schedule risk analysis allows for program management to account for the cost effects of schedule slippage Learn more about having a "ClearPlan" here: bit.ly/48c7qYi #clearplan #gao #scheduling #programmanagement #scheduleriskanalysis

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐂𝐀𝐌 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐬? A Control Account Manager (CAM) is a key role within project management, particularly in environments that utilize Earned Value Management (EVM) systems. At a high-level, a CAM is responsible for management, oversight, and control of one or more control accounts within a project. A control account is a specific management control point where scope, cost, and schedule are integrated and managed. Drilling down, here are eight areas that CAMs support or are directly responsible for doing. 1. Planning and Scheduling 2. Budget Management 3. Performance Measurement 4. Risk Management 5. Communication and Reporting 6. Change Management 7. Resource Management 8. Compliance and Standards A CAM has critical responsibilities that support the project being delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality and compliance standards by effectively managing the control accounts. 🔹 To support CAMs and successful projects, ClearPlan provides a 𝟐-𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐀𝐌 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 that is designed for CAMs who are new to their role or current CAMs seeking skill advancement. It is also great for technical managers and directors who supervise CAMs, Program Managers, and Program Control Managers. CAMs supporting Integrated Baseline Reviews and Surveillance Reviews will benefit as well. ClearPlan's training areas of focus are developing a Work Breakdown Structure and baseline, understanding and correcting variances, efficient change management, project analysis, subcontract management, and indirect management. 🔹Learn more about ClearPlan’s 𝐂𝐀𝐌 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 here: bit.ly/3j2575u #controlaccount #CAM #training #EVM #certification #WBS

𝐆𝐂𝐏 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 – 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐤 + 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫: What do you think is the best feature of ProPricer? We asked our ClearPlan ProPricer SMEs what they think the best feature of ProPricer is and they agreed on one. The feature is the import / export tool(s) in ProPricer. Why is it a great feature? 🔹 It allows you to quickly load all your data at once using Excel; no hand loading. 🔹 It allows you to rapidly change the data as needed. 🔹 When making changes, the tool automatically re-calculates the details for you. For example, after changing your start and end dates, ProPricer automatically re-calculates the remaining data for you instantaneously to quickly show the impacts. This feature saves time, and time is always a factor with proposals! ClearPlan is attending the Government Contracting Pricing (GCP) Summit this week hosted by Deltek ProPricer in San Diego, CA! ClearPlan enjoys participating in this great forum for federal contract pricing professionals to collaborate on solutions. Over 2,000 top pricing professionals from government and industry attend the GCP Summit. There is still time to register! In addition to collaborating with Deltek + ProPricer at the GCP Summit, we’re looking forward to hearing from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Anduril Industries, Collins Aerospace, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Defense Contract Audit Agency, National Contract Management Association (NCMA), Google, and several others this week! 🔹Learn more about ClearPlan’s full life cycle services here: bit.ly/48c7qYi #gcpsummit #governmentcontracting #propricer #deltek #clearplan
