EVM and Project Management Theory Training

Our PMP Certification courses and our Project Management Fundamentals courses, teach students the principles of EVM. This instruction includes teaching how to calculate the EVM measures as well as how to use these measures to make key project decisions. The focus of this training is to ensure that students understand what EVM is and how to use it with respect to managing their projects. In particular, this training demonstrates use of the EVM measures of ‘Cost Performance Index’ (CPI) and ‘Schedule Performance Index’ (SPI) to forecast cost and schedule performance for the life of the project. Project Masters also provides training also include use of the MS Project software application to plan and manage projects utilizing EVM performance measures.

Our approach to this training also emphasizes the need for properly structuring the (WBS) so that Earned Value Measurements can be captured at the deliverable and sub-deliverable levels (not just at the overall project level). This approach helps the organization to use EVM to more clearly see how well the producers of specific deliverables are performing and use this information for management decisions.
