Lewis & Fowler | Performance Measurement Baseline

Performance Measurement Baseline

Aligning work with deliverables, funding profiles, resources, and risk management provides the insight needed for management decision making.

Our Six Step method constructs the Performance Measurement Baseline ready for use at the Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) and throughout the execution phases of the program.

Decompose Scope	Decompose the Project Scope into a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and then into Control Accounts and Work Packages describing the production of all deliverables.
Assign Responsibility	Assign Responsibility for Work Packages to named owners who are accountable for the management of resource allocation, cost baseline, and technical performance.
Arrange Work Packages	Arrange the Work Packages in a well formed network with explicitly defined deliverables, milestones and internal and external dependencies.
Develop BCWS	Develop Time-Phased Budget (BCWS) from labor spreads in each Work Package and balance these BCWS spreads across the Project.
Assign Performance Measures	Assign Objective Performance Measures for each Work Package and summarize these for the Project as a whole. Use the 0%/100% measurement of complete whenever possible.
Set Performance Measurement Baseline	Establish a Performance Measurement Baseline used to forecast Work Package and Project performance in units of measure meaningful to the customer.
