<p class="xmsonormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">As Luisella and Cathy have reported over the last few months, we will start practicing earned value (EV) beginning with August. In preparation for this, we asked the
estimators to work with project controls to update P6 to reflect the work completed prior to 7/31/2023 and plan the work out beginning 8/1/2023. We have replaced the budget planned for work prior to 7/31/2023, with actual costs. Any work in progress or not
completed was (replanned /pushed) to August 1 or later.</span> <span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">
This is a standard practice when preparing a baseline to ensure the plan does not have built in variances for work in the past.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

these account codes with everyone working on design associated with CD-3a scope (below). They are also listed on the Account Listing on the EIC Home Page.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We will be collecting status on CD-3a plus associated design for EV reporting that will be provided for the Director's and DOE reviews. This includes required variance
analysis reporting (VAR) on cost or schedule variances that exceed the thresholds (attached). Training will be provided for the VAR process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

scope, but will not require variance explanations until month end September.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">We will also begin tracking changes to the CD-3a scope/baseline as part of EVM implementation. A change control log will be created to log all changes to the CD-3A baseline as of August
1, 2023.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
