Explore value management as a navigation tool that forecasts cost performance, monitors schedule and variances, and communicates project performance for informed decision making.
Identify the triple constraints of time, cost, and scope, and learn how middle management tracks performance and uses value management to keep projects on track.
Apply earned value management to track project progress using data from work in progress, assess schedule and cost variances, and forecast completion within baseline time and budget.
Set the project cost baseline and budget, confirm the sequence of work, and define deliverables to establish the performance management baseline for earned value management.
define the project scope and outcomes, estimate costs, decompose the work into packages, sequence tasks, and build a project time schedule to establish the performance measurement baseline.
Break the project scope into manageable work packages using a work breakdown structure to enable budget control, scheduling, and cost allocation per package.
Identify major window replacement activities, assign durations from team input and historical data, and sequence tasks with finish-to-start relations to map a twenty-day project timeline.
Learn how to time-phase a project budget using a work breakdown structure, allocate activity costs, build a time-based cash flow, and establish a performance measurement baseline for earned value management.
Define budget at completion as the project's total budget. Explain BCWS as the cost of the work planned for a period, and relate it to planned value.
Compare planned budget with actual costs to calculate earned value and the budgeted cost of work performed, revealing value delivered and progress through percent complete and progress reports.
Earn value management training explains how to derive schedule outputs from earned value analysis using planned value, earned value, and actual cost, including schedule variance and schedule performance index.
Explore how earned value management uses cost variance and the cost performance index to assess budget performance, determine if a project is on, under, or over budget, and guide forecasting.
Explore estimate at completion (EAC) in earned value management. Use CPI and actual cost to forecast the project finish and assess scenarios based on budget at completion.
Learn how to calculate estimate to complete (ETC), compare it with the estimate at completion (EAC), and reassess remaining work to forecast total project cost.
Explore variance at completion, calculating the difference between the budgeted completion and the estimate at completion to determine if the project will finish on budget and by how much.
Learn earned value management and use tcpi to determine how efficiently the remaining work must progress to stay on budget. Explore cpi and completion to improve cost control.
Communicate earned value management results through management reports using tables and s-curve graphs, detailing wbs packages, cost and schedule indices, forecasts, and color conventions for clear decision making.
Explore earned value management with s-curves, comparing planned value, actual cost, and earned value to analyze cost variance and schedule performance on projects.
Learn to construct a project baseline and performance measurement baseline, compare plan versus actual costs, and interpret variances using cumulative cost curves and tables to communicate cost information.
Solve earned value problems by computing budget completion for a 10-week window, using a $50,000 budget, $5,000 weekly cost, and 60 of 200 windows completed (30%) after four weeks.
Analyze earned value management on a construction project by comparing planned budgets to actual costs, calculating CPI, and estimating to complete to assess budget health.
Earn value management training teaches how to plan, track, analyze, and control projects using the performance measurement baseline, budget and schedule, and indices like CPI, SPI, and estimate to complete.
This course is prepared to introduce Earned Value Management concept to any project professional who wants to understand, learn or practice EVM. The course is based on more than 20 lectures and typically covers the following topics:
Course has been prepared keeping in view the Practice Standard for Earned Value Management by Project Management Institute (PMI) .
Whether you are a project manager, construction manager, project planner, project control professional or a novice engineer , this course will make your journey of understanding and practicing EVM easy.
