Earned Value Earned Value ManagementManagement
Developed in the 1960’s Popular method for reporting and controlling
project in the Department of Defense A common language to report progress and
cost against a project Helps answer the questions:
Are we on schedule? How much did the work we do cost? Are there variances? Based on these trends, how much will it cost by the
end of the project?
