    Study Notes

    Earned Value Management (EVM)

    • Earned Value (EV) is a project management metric that assesses project performance by measuring progress in terms of budgeted costs.
    • EV measures the value of work actually completed in relation to the planned work, allowing for project performance tracking.

    Planned Value (PV)

    • Planned Value (PV) represents the budgeted amount for the work scheduled to be completed by a specific time.
    • It is a key component in measuring project performance against the initial project plan.

    Actual Cost (AC)

    • Actual Cost (AC) is the total cost incurred for the actual work completed during a specific time frame.
    • It reflects the actual expenditures for project activities, allowing for effective cost management and control.

    Cost Variance (CV)

    • Cost Variance (CV) is calculated by subtracting the Actual Cost (AC) from the Earned Value (EV): CV = EV - AC.
    • A positive Cost Variance indicates that the project is under budget; more value has been earned than spent.
    • A negative Cost Variance signifies that the project is over budget; expenditures exceed the value of work completed.

    Schedule Variance (SV)

    • Schedule Variance (SV) measures the difference between the Earned Value (EV) and the Planned Value (PV): SV = EV - PV.
    • A negative Schedule Variance indicates the project is behind schedule, as less work has been completed than was planned.

    Project Management Tools

    • A Project Dashboard provides a visual overview of key project performance indicators, facilitating quick assessments of progress.
    • Project Reports compile detailed information about project status, including performance metrics, risks, and upcoming milestones.
    • Project Tracking Reports focus on the ongoing performance of project activities, comparing actual progress to planned schedules.
    • Project Workflow outlines the process flows and tasks necessary to complete project objectives efficiently.
    • Project Collaboration Tools enable team members to work together effectively, sharing resources and communicating in real time.
    • Project Document Management systems store, organize, and control access to project-related documents, ensuring proper documentation and compliance.
