EVMS Podcast - Episode 1 - Wayne Abba
On this episode of the EVMS Podcast, I sit down with Wayne Abba – the architect of modern Earned Value Management reform and one of the most respected voices in the field.
From a small town in Michigan to the Pentagon, Wayne helped retire C/SCSC, shape EIA-748, advise allies and civilian agencies, and influence how GAO and OMB think about cost, schedule, and risk. He also shares what really happened on programs like the A-12, Super Hornet, and Seawolf – and why some teams used EVM to save their program while others ignored the data.
If you care about EVMS, project controls, or major defense and research programs, this is a rare, unfiltered conversation with someone who’s seen it all.
