Description
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a methodology widely used to measure the physical progress of a project taking into consideration the time spent and the costs incurred to complete a well defined unit of work. After a brief introduction to the ANSI/EIA 748 the seminar will be centred on the techniques used presently in the USA to correctly evaluate the cost/schedule deviation measured with an EVM system.
The topics that will be the treated are: the establishment of a Performance Measurement Baseline, Schedule Diagnosis and evaluation of Performance Indexes.
The seminar will also address some of the problems commonly found during the maintenance of an EVM system and will present the solutions used by several companies for their baseline maintenance, subcontracting management and management of reserves and undistributed budgets.
This seminar presents the conclusions of the 16th Annual International Integrated Program Management Conference.
