SUMMARY:Earned Value - Benefits and Misconceptions
DESCRIPTION:Earned Value Management (EVM) and Earned Value Management Systems have been around since the 1960’s and used primarily on large government defense projects.  In the late 1970’s\, earned value systems become prevalent in the Architectural and Engineering industries and moved into large construction projects.  Over time it migrated into use by many large\, medium\, and even small contractors. \nQuestion:  Is EVM really as complex as seen in some mega-projects\, or can it be used in smaller projects? \nQuestion:   How can Earned Value help my management team while not bogging them down so much that a dedicated cost engineer is needed to manage it? \nWith all the questions that revolve around how Earned Value can be used to support a manager’s ability to manage the health of a project\, you need to understand that Earned Value will not solve your problems.  Though Earned Value; evaluation of cost\, schedule\, and earned work values will not provide management the true value of a project’s health\, it can provide a very functional process to enable management teams to systematically measure performance and make timely and informed decisions that will support management’s decisions with more refined and accurate information. \nWhat to expect from this webinar: \nClear understanding of what Earned Value is \n\nWhy do we care about Earned Value?
