  1. Which report format is used to deliver contract performance data to the U.S. government on many DoD programs?

    Answer: The Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report (IPMDAR)

    The IPMDAR (successor to the IPMR/CPR) is the standard deliverable communicating contract performance data to the DoD.

  2. A CAM must document a change to the performance measurement baseline. Which record captures the change and its approval?

    Answer: A Baseline Change Request with an updated change control log

    Baseline changes must be documented through formal change requests and logged to maintain traceability of the performance measurement baseline.

  3. During an Integrated Baseline Review (IBR), what is the CAM expected to communicate?

    Answer: Their understanding of scope, schedule, budget adequacy, and risks in their control account

    At an IBR the CAM demonstrates ownership by explaining their scope, baseline realism, resource adequacy, and identified risks.

  4. A CAM identifies that a corrective action from last month's VAR did not work. How should this be documented?

    Answer: Update the VAR with actual results and a revised corrective action plan

    Corrective action follow-up requires documenting actual outcomes and revising the plan until the variance is resolved.

  5. Why must a CAM's estimate at completion (EAC) narrative be documented with supporting rationale?

    Answer: So reviewers can trace the basis of estimate and validate its credibility

    A documented basis of estimate lets management and auditors verify that the EAC is credible and grounded in current performance data.

  6. In EVMS documentation, what is the purpose of the Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)?

    Answer: It maps WBS elements to organizational units, identifying each control account and its CAM

    The RAM intersects the WBS with the OBS to define control accounts and document which CAM is responsible for each.

  7. A surveillance auditor finds the CAM's records conflict with the accounting system data. What does this indicate?

    Answer: A data integrity and traceability problem that must be reconciled and documented

    EVMS requires traceable, consistent data, so discrepancies between CAM records and the accounting system must be reconciled.
