Government entities at all levels of the hierarchy are under pressure to "do more with less". Budget cuts, hiring freezes and fund diversions are making it increasingly difficult to deliver projects within budget and planned schedule. New reporting methodology mandates such as Earned Value Management have created a focus on cost and schedule performance.
In 2002, DoD Regulation 5000.2-R was published that included four goals for government projects: reduce cycle time, improve training and education, adopt commercial practices and leverage commercial technology. Additionally, the DoD has added several sections pertaining specifically to managing projects within a government environment.
Government agencies and organizations deploy their custom Enterprise Project Management Solutions to ensure that they meet specific standards and reporting requirements. These include: Public Utilities, City, County, State and Federal Government. SMART EPM has helped government agencies reduce costs, build more effective project teams, improve project performance and comply with Earned Value Standards.
