Earned Value Management

The Earned Value Budget Square

The article is devoted to the underlying mathematical concepts of earned value: linear function, Cartesian coordinates and tangent. The EV visualization named “budget square” is derived from these concepts—and helps us master the earned value concept for both certification and practical needs.

Staying Sustainable After Launch

Most projects don't end with their launch date—they have an active lifespan and eventual decommissioning. Do you know what the true end-to-end cost of your project is?

The Integration of Agile and EVM

When agile practices are implemented for the first time in a waterfall environment, more predictive techniques like earned value management (EVM) will need to be integrated. Here, a practitioner looks at two sprint examples to explain how this approach works.

La Integración de Agile y EVM

Cuando se implementan prácticas ágiles por primera vez en un entorno de cascada, se deberán integrar más técnicas predictivas como la gestión del valor ganado (EVM). Aquí, un profesional observa dos ejemplos de sprint para explicar cómo funciona este enfoque.

How to Do Better, Cheaper, Sooner

Are you looking beyond individual departments and focusing on the value created in the full series of activities they perform to create and deliver their product? Here’s the story of one PM who was willing to step beyond her role to move the focus of “better, cheaper, sooner” to the whole chain of work her firm delivered to its customer.

Using Earned Value Management Concepts to Improve Commercial Project Performance (Korean Translation)

이 프리젠 테이션은 EVM이 무엇이고 그렇지 않은지, 수행 할 수있는 일 및 '맞춤형'구현을 논의하는 방법을 이해하려는 성숙한 기업의 맥락에서 EVM을 배치합니다. 참석자는 EVM이 PMBOK®에 어떻게 통합되는지, 프로젝트 관리 방법론 및 객관적인 기술적 성과 측정 (TPM) 측면에서 EVM이 제공 한 가치에 대해 '말하는'방법을 배우게됩니다.

The Dynamic Progress Method: A New Alternative to the Critical Path Method (Japanese Translation)

クリティカル・パス・メソッド（CPM）が1950年代に導入されたので、プロジェクト見積もりと計画における最新のイノベーションについて学びましょう。その当時CPMは大幅に改善されましたが、しかし今では現在の単純化されたCPMのアプローチではとても不十分です。今日のプロジェクトはより大規模で複雑化しており、より厳密なアプローチが求められています。CPMを使うことにより、リソースはタスク期間と切り離され、現実的なプロジェクト計画を立案することを困難または不可能にします。CPMでは「期間」はインプットです。

Scheduling: Walk Before You Run

When it comes to scheduling, you cannot do advanced tasks before covering the basics. Most people want to do PERT analyses and critical path sensitivities, Monte Carlo simulations and applications of earned value techniques. Those tools can be helpful in providing guidance for better decision making, but a lot of ground must be covered first.
