Fast Track to Earned Value Management
This course will introduce the principles of Earned Value Management and provide you with an understanding what EVM is about and how you can develop a project plan in which Earned Value Management is integrated.
The participants of the course are expected to have a basic understanding of project management and should be able to create a project schedule, create a Gantt chart and determine the project budget.
The course will start with the definition of the EVM parameters like Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV) and Actual Costs (AC) and how they can be calculated and interpreted.
From the EVM parameters, we will define the derived parameters like variances and performance indices. Finally, you will be able to estimate project duration and expected costs at completion.
