Earned Value Management (EVM)

Plain-English earned value: measure cost and schedule performance and forecast where a program will land.

What you will learn

  • Cost accounts and work packages: building the performance measurement baseline
  • Planned value, earned value, actual cost and budget at completion
  • Cost and schedule variance (CV, SV, CVP, SVP) and S-curves
  • CPI, SPI, EAC, ETC and TCPI with worked examples
  • Setting up an EVM baseline in a spreadsheet
  • Why EVM breaks on R&D programs and how to adapt it

From the classroom

Every course, workbook and toolkit here is newly written by Isaac Maya, PhD, PE (Nuclear). They are not the original university or Dekker, Ltd. course materials, and no textbook content is resold.
