Earned Value is a project management technique where you monitor the project plan, actual work, and work-completed value to see if a project is on track. Earned Value shows how much of the budget and time should have been spent, in relation to the amount of work done so far.
Earned Value provides the project manager with an objective way of measuring performance and predicting future outcomes. This can enable him or her to report progress with greater confidence and highlight any overrun earlier. This in turn, enables the management team to make cost and time allocation decisions earlier than would otherwise be the case.
The objective of this presentation is to provide a brief introduction to EVM and its concepts and to explore the value of using EVM on your projects. This presentation includes a ‘hands-on’ exercise so bring your pencils.
