NDIA EVM Application Guide

2. Objectives
Prepare an EVMS Application Guide for use by Federal Agencies and Industry.
Address “how used” for the NDIA PMS Committee documents (e.g. ANSI/EIA 748, Intent Guide, Surveillance Guide, IBR Guide, etc.).
Provide a process for both government and industry so a review documenting ANSI Guideline compliance could be accepted without another review.
Limit the page count to a range of 15 to 20 pages excluding appendices
Appendices provide an executive summary of existing and relevant NDIA EVM documents; not a reprint
