Baseline Change Control for Earned Value
The topic of Baseline Change Control covers five of the thirty-two guidelines for an Earned Value Management System from the ANSI-748A standard. This presentation is designed to provide a foundation in Baseline Change Control, with practical examples, starting with no knowledge of the Earned Value Management Standard (ANSI - 748A). Knowledge of the requirements for baseline change control, knowing a few best practices, and understanding how it aligns with other project management activities can prove invaluable as a project manager leads the robust application of Earned Value for a project.

The 511 project won the ITS America award for Best New Product in 2004. John also managed the ground-breaking Information Exchange Network project for the I-95 Corridor Coalition which won the ITS America award for Systems Interoperability in 1998.
John achieved his initial PM certification by Parsons Brinckerhoff in 1996 through a combination of in-house training and an evaluation of PM performance. John spent six years as an instructor for the in-house PM training at Parsons Brinckerhoff and four years as the PM Training Officer for a subsidiary company. After joining the USDA in 2004, John completed PMP certification.
John has developed and delivered training on many Project Management, Information Technology, and Software Development topics for in-house training programs and for customers. John collaborated on the development and delivery of the FHWA-sponsored course on Regional Communications Protocols under contract to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).
John is currently managing IT projects for the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). He has recently started development of a series of training modules on Earned Value Management and related Capital Planning topics. These modules will be specifically focused on IT Projects in US Government civilian agencies. The first module in that series, "Baseline Change Control for Earned Value", is scheduled for delivery in May of 2008.
