The IMP/IMS Specialist leads in the development of the Integrated Master Plan (IMP) and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that structure the program to be executable within schedule and cost constraints, and with acceptable risk. The IMP/IMS Specialist ensures that the IMP is an event-oriented representation of integrated product development – that each activity encompasses all appropriate functional disciplines. The IMP/IMP Specialist addresses a list of "events" (initiation or conclusion of major intervals of program activity), such as, the ICDR, FCDR, Production Reviews, Test Reviews, Test Acceptance, Delivery, etc. Ensures the IMP includes any assumptions / guidelines, and a dictionary of definitions for selected events and action verbs used within the accomplishment criteria:

The IMP/IMS Specialist leads the development of an IMS. The IMS will contain, at a minimum, all events, accomplishments and criteria contained in the IMP. The IMS will also contain tasks subordinate to the criteria and any additional detail to enhance a rigorous schedule management process, facilitate the identification of task interdependencies, and provide additional insight through the use of critical path analysis.

In developing the IMP/IMS, the IMP/IMS Specialist schedules regular status and working meetings with the cognizant engineering organizations or system engineering-level team to mature the end product. A configuration control mechanism leveraging the proposal computer system is employed to ensure appropriate control of the document is maintained.
