I'm new to this forum so forgive me if this subject has been hashed over previously. In projects I've run, I've rarely been afforded the opportunity to control costs as much as I'd like. However, I'd like to start using earned value as much as possible going forward. (Putting aside the issue of whether I can get various team members to agree on %complete, etc).
What I'm wondering is if people have found a good way to track and measure BCWS, etc and then report to management. Do you use the built-in Earned Value code in Microsoft Project? Does it work? Do you do this "manually" via a spreadsheet? Or is there some software or utility you use that pulls all your costs, etc together? (I noticed that gantthead lists some kind of utility but it's for members only and I don't have the $350 to join.) Saving Changes...
