Understand Earned Value and how to apply it within the program.
Recognize program risks and recommend mitigation strategies.
Develop IMP/IMS plans and schedules, apply resource planning and loading with associated costs and budgets.
Analyze integrated schedules, resource planning, budgets, and current performance and program forecast, and make recommendations based on results from analysis.
Provide current performance and program forecasts.
Track and assess program progress, perform continuous risk management and recommend strategies to adjust to proposed program changes.
Analyze contract requirements and work closely with staff to provide suitable, timely and accurate contract modifications.
Devise strategies for deploying and implementing new policy initiatives.
