AFMC PAMPHLET 63-5, INTEGRATED MASTER PLAN AND SCHEDULE GUIDE (11 NOV 2004)

AFMC PAMPHLET 63-5, INTEGRATED MASTER PLAN AND SCHEDULE GUIDE (11 NOV 2004). This pamphlet provides guidance on the Integrated Master Plan (IMP) and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), which together, provide a systematic approach to program planning and scheduling. They also provide a tool for improved day-to-day program execution and for improved program/project insight by both Government program/project office personnel and contractor personnel. Previously a number of draft or final IMP/IMS guides have existed at various DoD acquisition locations. These guides were not always consistent in content and/or application. Also, a great deal of time and resources has been spent getting both the Government teams and the offerors/contractors up to speed on how to prepare and use the IMP and the IMS. A mutual understanding of what is required to successfully plan and execute a program is critical to the Government-industry team.
