Agile Practice Management and Earned Value Management Methods.

We use EVM in our shop. Our approach is more of a hybrid, as we are a vendor working with clients in systems implementations for business transformations. In order to scope and budget the project we exercise some upfront planning, then drive the work through a scrum-like approach.

Since we have a budget and overall schedule, we can use standard EVM. Project numbers are reported out of our ERP and presented via Excel dashboard with built-in formulas.
