Integrated Project Management Using Earned Value Management

This course looks at earned value management (EVM) from the ground up.  It will cover government policy that mandates the use of EVM, understanding what EVM really is and what it is not.  It looks at EVM systems that provide the basis for EVM implementation that are compliant with the ANSI 748 (latest version).  There is a thorough discussion of baseline development and its importance for EVM data validity.  A thorough look at the EVM data allows the student to understand what information it is providing.  The class also covers maintaining the baseline to insure program performance validity.  The class includes lecture, discussions of “real world” challenges of implementing EVM systems and “hands on” exercises to better understand how the data is developed as well as what it provides to the user.   Students are encouraged to bring their current performance management questions/challenges to the class for discussion.

The training is provided at the customer site.
