Notes:
{1} The list of 32 EVMS guidelines criteria noted in the ANSI 748 standard.
{2} Refer to the reference section in the ANSI 748 standard.
{3} These criteria (based on Fleming and Koppelman article) are the minimum requirements to make effective use of EVMS methods without using the full set required for large complex projects.
{4} PMPlan Standard only has base rate and rate factor which are not tracked separately.
{5} Each tool can store direct costs by manually inputting the costs from reports generated by the general books of account or import the costs from files generated by the general books of account.
{6} This process is controlled by stated policy.
{7} Only the previous baseline is maintained within the project file. To save multiply baselines requires saving renamed project files to keep a history of multiply baselines.
