Getting Started

Cobra is a powerful system for managing project costs, measuring earned value, and analyzing budgets, actuals, and forecasts.

It offers seamless integration with leading scheduling tools and unmatched flexibility to meet even the most exacting cost management requirements, such as the rigorous EVMS standard required by the US and other governments.

Unlike other cost management software packages, Cobra does not limit you to a set of narrowly defined options for gathering, organizing, and reporting  cost/schedule data. Maximum flexibility combined with powerful functionality is the central design goal for each system feature.

As a result, Cobra provides all the tools a project manager needs to ensure compliance with traditional EVMS guidelines, yet offers the flexibility to serve a wide range of non-EVMS applications as well.

Because many basic design decisions are in the hands of the user, you can extend the capabilities of Cobra in many directions without needing custom programming. At the same time, you can easily integrate Cobra data with external systems.
