Earned Value Management

by Ralph L. Kliem

Introduction

If you want to know the basics of project management, this guide and the others in The Neanderthal Series are available. The idea behind this series is to first concentrate on the basics and then progress to greater levels of complexity, if necessary. Seek simplicity first.

Project managers need an objective way to determine and evaluate project
performance. Earned Value Management, using cost and schedule data, is one
way to accomplish that. Project managers can generate information that provide
an effective gauge for determining just how a project has performed and
anticipate how well it will perform if current circumstances continue.
