Overview

Multiple functions on one task order create multiple places for a schedule slip to hide. CS Vertical assigns one program manager as the single point of accountability for scope, schedule, and budget, so a customer has one call to make, not four.

Reporting cadence and format are set to the customer’s contract requirements, with corrective-action tracking built in the moment performance drifts from plan.

What we deliver

  • A named program manager assigned to the task order for its duration
  • Schedule and budget variance tracked against the contract baseline, not estimated after the fact
  • Cross-functional coordination of maintenance, logistics, and training under one task order
  • A maintained risk register with corrective actions assigned and dated
  • Performance reporting delivered to the contracting officer on the required cadence
