The PPEV Subcommittee is looking for individuals interested in developing technical papers for the 2027 AACE Conference & Expo. With abstracts for technical papers due 8/31/26, we encourage members to begin considering potential submissions within the areas of productivity, performance, and earned value.

For those interested in writing a paper but still looking for a topic, the PPEV Subcommittee has identified several suggested topics that would be valuable additions to the 2027 program:

• ·       Single Point Adjustments.   The good, the bad, and the ugly.    
• ·       Can resubmit AI for system description reviews.   With an update of course.   
• ·       Over Target Baseline (OTB) and Over Target Schedule OTS – What are they, including case studies
• ·       Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) – Different then WBS?
• ·       RBS (risk) – Different then WBS?
• ·       RBS (Resource) or OBS – Different then WBS?
• ·       The pros and Cons of the level of control accounts.   
• ·       Why do we need work authorizations (and at what level do they work)?
• ·       Management of Authorized Unpriced Work.  
• ·       Funding, Budget, and Earned Value
• ·       Month-end process.   How to maintain cost and schedule integration.   
• ·       Management Reserve Trending and the EAC
• ·       SM trending and the EAC.   
• ·       Effective change control lessons learned

If you are interested in writing a technical paper or have questions, please contact myself or ppev@aacei.org and we can point you in the right direction. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
