Abstract:
Earned Value Management (EVM) helps project managers to
measure project performance. It is a
systematic project management process used to find
variances in projects based on the comparison of work
performed and work planned. The earned value management
approach is considered to be the most objective method
available in the measurement of project performances.
Earned Value provides the project manager with an
objective way of measuring performance and predicting
future outcomes. This can enable him to report progress
with greater confidence and highlight any overrun
earlier. This in turn enables the management team to
make cost and time allocation decisions earlier than
would otherwise be the case. It is generally true that
past performance is a good indicator of future
performance and as such Earned Value is a very useful
tool for predicting the outcome of projects in terms of
time to completion, cost to completion and expected
final costs
