Humphreys & Associates

What Humphreys & Associates does

Humphreys & Associates is a privately held management consulting firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Irvine, California. The firm specializes in Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) consulting, training, and certification, anchored in the EIA-748 Standard for Earned Value Management Systems and its 32 guidelines. Core services span the full project lifecycle: EVMS proposal support, requirements/gap analysis, system design and documentation, implementation, Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) preparation, compliance review preparation, staff augmentation, scheduling services, and a complementary Agile practice including Agile-EVMS integration. The firm also operates three training delivery channels — self-paced online Virtual Learning Labs, instructor-led public workshops via WebEx, and on-site in-house training — supported by a library of over 50 EVMS courses and a Control Account Manager (CAM) certification program with a six-hour proctored exam.

The technical foundation rests on credentialed talent: three H&A consultants, including founder Gary C. Humphreys, were part of the eight-person team that developed the EIA-748 Standard. The firm has trained over 900,000 professionals and supported more than 850 organizations worldwide, with H&A consultants having worked on nearly half of the estimated 380 validated EVM systems in existence. The firm maintains software-agnostic positioning with no allegiance to specific EVM toolsets, while leveraging partnerships with Oracle (Primavera P6), Scaled Agile (SAFe), Scrum Alliance, and Scrum@Scale.

The business operates on a professional services model combining billable consulting hours with multi-format training revenue (perpetual-license certifications, recurring online subscriptions, and per-seat workshops and in-house programs). Customer segments center on U.S. government contractors and federal agencies (DoD, DOE, NASA, HHS, DHS, FAA), with secondary verticals in aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, construction, oil & gas, and commercial rail. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, public and in-house workshops, an e-commerce online store, and an online training platform. Strategic partnerships with PMI, AACEI, NASBA, EFCOG, NDIA IPMD, Scaled Agile, and Scrum Alliance extend the firm's training credentialing and standards-body reach. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company remains privately held and founder-led with no reported funding rounds, acquisitions, or restructuring events.

Product overview

Humphreys & Associates offers a portfolio of earned value management (EVM) consulting and training services organized around its core EVMS (Earned Value Management System) consulting practice and two complementary pillars: Agile Services and EVMS Training. The EVMS Consulting Services core product is a multi-step engagement covering proposal support, requirements/gap analysis, system design and documentation, implementation, project management training, Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) preparation, compliance review preparation, and staff augmentation. This is supported by dedicated Scheduling Services (IMS development, schedule health assessments, risk analysis) and the full Agile Services suite (consulting, training, implementation, coaching, and Agile-EVMS integration). The training pillar consists of three delivery channels: EVMS Online Training (self-paced virtual learning labs), Earned Value Public Workshops (instructor-led via WebEx), and Earned Value In-House Training (on-site, tailored). The CAM Certification program provides a rigorous certification track for Control Account Managers. The Online Store distributes these offerings alongside EVMS books and reference guides. The EVMS Education Center and the Z-Best Company EVMS Model System Description serve as supplementary knowledge and reference tools. The company has no AI or machine learning product capabilities; its services are human-delivered consulting, training, and certification.
