Generally, work packages within a WBS only roll up to that WBS element, not other work packages.  The WBS element rolls up its work packages and all sub-WBS elements roll-ups.  <br/>This is provided as an example of how to achieve program roll-ups to support EVMS assessments.  Whether these are used to calculate the roll-ups and EVMS in the SysML tool, or just to support the data that will be extracted to Excel and/or Project/Primavera for these calculations is TBD, and may be done on a case-by-case basis.  This is being used to also exemplify that EVMS could be much more timely since most EVMS reports tend to be at least 30 days behind actual progress.  <br/><br/>This COULD allow the USG to track EVMS dynamically, in real-time, as the project/program is executed.  The contractor can apportion and track the use of management reserve with a very fine-grained analysis of where the reserve was spent.  Both the USG and the contractor can be alerted to any project snags that cause EVMS calculations that fall much below 1.0, and the percentage below (or above) can be agreed upon up front, and tested via the parametrics.  The question is whether to standardize and institutionalize such an approach to EVMS.<br/>
