The Project Management Steering Committee (PMSC) is continuing with its mission of monitoring, improving, and disseminating TSC project management policies, procedures, tools, and assistance. TSC’s vision continues to be that all TSC jobs will meet or exceed the client’s schedule and budget expectations without compromising technical quality or safety.

- Developed a new Earned Value Management (EVM) Excel template for small projects. (See http://intra.usbr.gov/tsc_pm/templates.html)
PMSC activities and goals for 2007:
- Update the TSC Project Management Guidelines and Intranet site.
- Update and conduct its annual training course and manual for Reclamation personnel both within and outside the TSC.
- Conduct team leader forums on project management topics of interest. March 15 forum will focus on Change Management.
