Real-Time Earned Value Management: How Cora Unifies Cost and Schedule Data in One Platform

The first solution to fully unify cost and schedule data in one platform, in real-time, without imports, exports, or delays. Provides program and control account managers with a powerful workbench offering a single, real-time view of budgets, forecasts, and Estimates at Completion (EACs).

Comprehensive Earned Value Techniques (EVTs) supports an expansive range of EVT methodologies, aligning with industry standards and DoD EVMS Interpretation Guide requirements. Defines how task progress is calculated and reflected in Earned Value Percent Complete (EV%) and Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP).

Dynamic EV Period Data & EAC Analysis collects monthly cost and schedule information at Control Account and Work Package levels, including actuals, budgets, planned values, and performance metrics. Features a flexible EAC Analysis grid for filtering, sorting, and sharing performance data to enhance analysis and simplify government contract reporting.

Rigorous Baseline Change Control (BCC) maintains Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) integrity by documenting, authorizing, and integrating all changes with complete traceability. Allows modeling and assessment of project changes before implementation, with XML export format for easier EVMS compliance.

Insightful Variance Reporting identifies and analyzes Schedule Variances (SVs), Cost Variances (CVs), and Variance at Completion (VAC) with configurable thresholds. Captures the "why, what, how, when, and who" for any variance, with automatic tests when EV Period Data is generated.

The system enables program managers to run the DCMA 14-point schedule health check directly against the Gantt schedule. Results are automatically logged in a dedicated DCMA audit page within Cora, ensuring compliance with schedule integrity standards and improving project reliability and reporting accuracy.
