Earlier in his career Eric served as Corporate EVM Subject Matter Expert for L-3 Communications. In that role he implemented multiple EIA-748 Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) and helped build baseline plans for over 100 projects and proposal efforts with a combined value over $400B. Eric also represented L-3 on the Board of the NDIA Integrated Program Management Division (IPMD) which oversees the EIA-748 standard. Over the last fifteen years Eric has contributed to several key guidance documents related to EVM including the PMI Practice Standard for EVM, MIL-STD-881, and GAO-16-89G. Today, Eric is a Senior Partner at Transformative Management Solutions where we help project teams and organizations implement EVM and Agile project control solutions using Microsoft Power Platform technologies.
