PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
12/2010 Present Project Management Consultant
Vernon has worked with Lockheed Martin Aerospace as part of a team
assisting in their effort to re-obtain the DCMA acceptance of their EVMS.
I worked at the LM Aero facility in Northern Texas and in Atlanta, Ga. My
role was training CAMs, project managers and program managers in the medium
and advanced EVMS and project management processes. These included
scheduling (baseline development and maintenance), schedule risk
assessment, DCMA 14 point health checks for scheduling, and Integrated
Baseline Reviews (IBR).
Vernon also worked with Textron Defense Systems (Wilmington, Ma and
Baltimore, Md) Revising their EVMS to current standards (Wilmington). His
effort in Baltimore was to assist that subsidiary with their EVMS
implementation and preparation for the acceptance review process. Both of
these efforts involved considerable emphasis on schedule preparation and
control, schedule health assessments and schedule risk assessment.
