EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
3 DAY WORKSHOP

AUDIENCE

This workshop is designed for the novice who needs a solid foundation in performance measurement skills, individuals interested in enhancing their ability to effectively use performance data, and/or the expert who strives to keep abreast of the latest government guidelines.

The course employs a mixture of lecture, discussion and "hands-on" case study work. A "team concept" is applied during case studies so that participants can better exchange ideas and assimilate concepts and information. Top management will obtain the information necessary to gain the maximum value from their Performance Measurement Data.

EVMS - it is a good idea!

  • EARNED VALUE - Early Warning tool enabling managers to identify and control problems before they become insurmountable.
  • EARNED VALUE - Enhancement over traditional management methods. Older methods addressed planned versus actual expenditures. Earned Value goes a step further and focuses on ACCOMPLISHMENT against the plan and actual cost against the budget for the accomplished work.
  • ACCOMPLISHMENT - Affords managers insight into potential RISK areas and provides improved basis for forecast completion dates and estimated costs at completion.
  • DISCIPLINED PLANNING - A Major EVMS benefit: Define the work and organization; schedule the work; identify technical, schedule, and cost risk areas for early formulation of an integrated baseline.
  • RISK MITIGATION- Clearer picture of technical, schedule, and cost progress provides for better and more timely corrective actions.
  • ANALYSES TOOLS - For over 750 contracts, analyses of EVMS data provided reliable predictions of completion time and costs allowing timely corrective actions to be taken.
  • STATISTICAL PROJECTIONS - Several estimating algorithms proven effective.
