Earned Value Management (EVM)
Earned Value Management (EVM) Training Program
Introduction
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project performance management methodology that integrates
cost, schedule, technical scope, and risk to assess progress against a baseline, use that information to
identify problems, and forecast cost (and, to a certain extent, schedule) at completion.
Earned Value Management relies on maintaining a time-phased budget baseline (in hours, JDS, or other
measurable units). This time-phased budget is known as Planned Value (PV), or Budgeted Cost for Work
Scheduled (BCWS). EVM requires quantifying the “value” of progress over time using the same unit of
measure that was used to plan the budget.
Earned Value Management is a widely adopted management practice among various organizations to
accurately determine projects’ progress and performance. It helps to control the project processes by
planning, cost collection, and performance measurement. Attending our Earned Value™ Management
courses allows you to gain both basic and advanced level knowledge of Earned Value™ Management
concepts, benefits, principles, and processes. Our highly experienced instructors will guide and prepare
you for passing the Earned Value™ Management exam in the very 1st attempt.
Our subject matter experts have plentiful industry knowledge, who knows how to make their topics
engaging to create a memorable and valuable learning environment.
