Most project managers have a general idea of where they stand against their baseline schedule and budget. They say things like “we are pretty close to schedule” or “we’re about half done”. However, it’s better to be much more precise. Earned Value Management (EVM) gives you the tools and techniques to know where you really stand. You can use EVM to understand whether you are currently ahead of schedule or behind schedule, and whether you are under budget or over budget. Probably of more importance, EVM also allows you to understand how you are trending so that you can better estimate the duration and cost remaining to complete the project. This class provides an overview of EVM and how it is applied and integrated into your project.
