1. Integrating Systems Engineering with Earned Value Management May 2004
EV quantitatively linked with:
​ Technical performance measurement (TPM)
​ Progress against requirements
but EVMS Standard states that EV is a measurement of the ​quantity, not quality, of work accomplished.

EVM can be more effective as a program management tool if it is integrated with technical performance and if the EVM processes are augmented with a rigorous systems engineering (SE) process.

5. A Contract Requirement Rule for Program Managers," Nov. 2015

 Recommends replacement of EVMS Standard EIA-748 with Project Management Institute Standard, PMBOK® Guide.
EVM, based on EIA-748, is used primarily by federal contractors when contractually required. A more powerful tool is the ANSI standard that is used world-wide on a voluntary basis when there are no federal requirements, PMBOK® Guide.

A Program Manager’s needs that are covered by PMBOK® Guide but are absent in EIAI-748 include:
· Technical or product baseline
· Requirements management and traceability
· Risk management
