Integrated master plan and schedule
The IMP is an event-driven project plan that documents the significant accomplish-
ments to be achieved and associates each accomplishment to a key program event. 
The IMS is a time-based schedule containing the networked, detailed tasks neces-
sary to ensure successful project execution. The IMS is traceable to the integrated 
master plan, the WBS, and the statement of work or project directive. The IMS is 
used to verify progress toward meeting program objectives, and to integrate sched-
uled program activities with the organizational and integrated technical plans.
