Explore earned value management as a technique for measuring project performance against fixed cost and schedule, and learn the formulas and scenarios used to monitor budget and timelines.
Identify essential earned value management terms, including actual cost, earned value or budgeted cost of work performed, cost variance, schedule variance, CPI, SPI, and estimates at completion and to complete.
Explore essential earned value management definitions, including planned value, actual cost, earned value, cost and schedule variances, CPI, and TCPI, plus ETC and EAC concepts to monitor project performance.
Explains key earned value management formulas, including planned value, earned value, and actual cost, and computes cost and schedule variances, CPI, SPI, and estimation scenarios.
Explore an ideal earned value management scenario that compares budget, planned value, earned value, and actual cost to assess schedule variance, cost variance, and three estimated completion cases.
Analyze an over budget and behind schedule scenario using earned value management, calculating planned value, earned value, actual cost, schedule variance, CPI, SPI, and estimated completion.
Explore a scenario where a project is over budget but on schedule, using earned value management metrics like cost variance, schedule performance index, and to-complete performance index.
Apply EVM techniques in cost and management reports to help project managers understand project status and maintain the budget and schedule.
The course will help you understand the basic concepts of Earned Value Management which is one of the most important technique for effective Project Management.
By the end of this course you will learn the key terms of Earned Value Management, their definitions and the various formulas used to analyze whether the project is getting executed on track with respect to cost and schedule.
The course lets you understand the concept of Budget, Planned Value, Earned Value. It also teaches how to calculate Cost and Schedule Variance, Cost and Schedule Performance Index, Estimate At Completion, Estimate To Complete and To Complete Performance Index.
The course also includes examples showing the various scenarios of a project during execution phase and how Earned Value Management aids in recognizing the project status at any point of time with respect to budget and project completion schedule.
