Develop and implement an Integrated Master Plan (IMP) linked with the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and integrated with the Earned Value Management System (EVMS). 3. Integrate all required technical, management, and administrative specialties fully into the product development and cross-product activities. 4. Define and implement a Subcontract Management Program that ensures that the activities and products of the subcontractors and suppliers are consistent with the overall program. 5. Implement a configuration management, change control, and approval process for any changes affecting the system requirements before the changes are implemented.
