Internal Re-planning
EVM Terms
Reviewed by forProject Technology - updated Oct 2026
Quick definition: Internal Re-planning is any change to a project's budgets that stays within the existing contract scope and keeps the Total Allocated Budget (TAB) under the Contract Budget Base (CBB).
Internal Re-planning happens when you change the Total Allocated Budget (TAB) while keeping it under the value of the Contract Budget Base (CBB). It's a normal, ongoing part of managing a project. In some cases, the TAB has to be set higher than the CBB. That kind of change is considered Formal Reprogramming, not Internal Re-planning, and would be considered an Over Target Baseline (OTB).
What this means for you
Plans rarely survive contact with real work unchanged, so the ability to re-plan internally lets a project stay aimed at its original targets even as the detailed path to get there shifts. Without it, every minor adjustment would require an unnecessary formal change action.

FAQ
How is Internal Re-planning different from Formal Reprogramming?
Internal Re-planning keeps the total of Control Account budgets within the Contract Budget Base. Formal Reprogramming breaks that ceiling, producing a Total Allocated Budget that exceeds the CBB, and requires customer approval.
Does Internal Re-planning require customer notification?
Not typically, since it doesn't change the project's overall scope, schedule, or budget objectives.
