It's Time To Master Earned Value Management in Microsoft Project!
EVM is way more than a calculation method
Earned Value Management (or EVM) is an excellent tool that helps you assess the true status of your project — both in terms of cost as well as schedule. And it is THE METHOD for communicating the project status to your clients in a way that is not overwhelming but clear and easy to visualize.
Theory is easy - but how do you use EVM in Microsoft Project?
The concepts behind Earned Value Management are pretty easy to understand. Applying Earned Value Management in Microsoft Project is a different story. In order to be able to track EVM metrics such as Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV) or Schedule Variance (SV) with Microsoft Project, your projects have to be set up the correct way, and all the prerequisites such as standard rates and working hours have to be in place for Project to be able to serve you with **CORRECT** EVM metrics!
This is why we have created a step-by-step guide for you.
With the help of seasoned construction PMs, we have created a 70-page e-Book that guides you through the entire process, from setting up your project, creating the schedule, adding resources to calculating the EVM metrics and visualizing the project metrics colored charts.
