Vincent -

Forecasting on projects following agile delivery practices such as letting past iteration/sprint velocity determine when the team will complete a release or product backlog is a modified approach to EV which is practiced on many projects.

I've rarely seen pure EVA & variance analysis (to use the PMBOK v6 terms :-) ) used in the companies I've supported as they lack the work package level cost reporting and/or work decomposition discipline needed to practice it accurately.

Similar to Vincent - not used as outline in PMBok, we typically use other models that the finance gods live eat and die by which aligns more closely to their business needs. the concepts are there just the process is different.
