Part 1. Earned Value Management
In not more than 200 words, write a memo responsive to some (hypothetical) executive of your organization who has asked you: What is Earned Value Management (EVM) and what is the Contracting Officer’s role in it?
Part 2. Contract Automation Tools
Bearing in mind the experience and labor of drafting your own contract earlier in this course, identify at least two (2) tools, currently available in the market, which help automate the contract preparation process. Then summarize with an executive overview of each tool as well as the relative advantages and disadvantages of each tool into an executive level report of 200 or fewer words. Finalize your report to executive management with a recommendation of a specific tool among the ones that you reviewed/examined.
