DI-MGMT-81466B (DRAFT), DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: INTEGRATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT REPORT (IPMR) (31-OCT-2011)

DI-MGMT-81466B (DRAFT), DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: INTEGRATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT REPORT (IPMR) (31-OCT-2011)., This report consists of six formats containing data for measuring contractors\' cost and schedule performance on Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition contracts. Format 1 reports cost and schedule performance data by product-oriented Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements, the hardware, software, and services the Government is buying. Format 2 provides the same data by the contractor\'s organization (functional or Integrated Product Team (IPT) structure). Format 3 provides the budget baseline plan against which performance is measured. Format 4 provides staffing forecasts for correlation with the budget plan and cost estimates. Format 5 (is a narrative report used to explain significant cost and schedule variances and other identified information. Format 6 is a report containing the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). This schedule contains the networked, detailed tasks/activities in the PMB. IPMR data will be used by DoD system managers to: (1) integrate cost and schedule performance data with technical performance measures, (2) identify the magnitude and impact of actual and potential problem areas causing significant cost and schedule variances, (3) Forecast schedule completions and (4) provide valid, timely program status information to higher management. The IPMR is a management tool that provides timely, reliable data. The IPMR\'s primary value to the Government is its ability to reflect current contract status and reasonably project future program performance. It is important that the IPMR be as accurate as possible so it may be used to facilitate informed, timely decisions. It will be used by the DoD component staff, including program managers, engineers, cost estimators, and financial management personnel, to confirm, quantify, and track known or emerging contract problems and serve as a basis for communicating with the contractor. The IPMR data shall accurately reflect how work is being planned, performed, and statused and shall be consistent with the actual contract status.
