Overview of Earned Value Management (EVM)
• A methodology that combines scope, schedule, and resource measurements to assess project performance and progress.
(The PMBOK® Guide: Fifth Edition)
![Page 4: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Earned Value
• The measure of work performed expressed in terms of the budget authorized for that work.
![Page 5: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

EVM
• In its most basic form, earned value represents nothing more than following fundamental project management, managing a project with a resource loaded schedule.
![Page 6: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

EVM
• Will the use of earned value on projects eliminate cost overruns?
• Answer: Never
• EVM will let the project manager know if the project is getting out of control
![Page 7: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
EVM
• Overruns are typically caused by three factors, (or some combination of these three factors)
– Too little budget authorized by management
– Poor technical performance from the project team
– Scope creep
![Page 8: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

EVM
• Earned value is for projects … its is not for continuous business operations.
![Page 9: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Cost Variance
• Cost Variance only exposes deviations from budget, and provides no comparisons of work scheduled /vs/ work accomplished.
![Page 10: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Schedule Variance
• The Schedule Variance compares planned work /vs/work that has actually completed
![Page 11: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Earned Value Management
• Earned Value Management is a project management tool that measures the progress of complex and changeable projects against a baseline
![Page 12: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Earned Value Management
• Define The Work (WBS is the key)
• Schedule and Resource the Work
• Baseline the Budget and Schedule
• Monitor and Status The Work
• Re-Plan the Work
![Page 13: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Avoiding Common Pitfalls
![Page 26: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
• The four major pitfalls of using EVM are:
– Improper Structuring of the WBS
– Failure to Set the Project Status Date
– Failure to Baseline
– Failure to Reschedule Incomplete Work
![Page 27: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Improper Structuring of the WBS
• A common error made by Project Managers new to the use of Earned Value Management is failure to properly structure the Work Breakdown Structure.
• Failure to use a Deliverables-Based hierarchical structure for the WBS results in improper rollup of the Earned Value measurements
![Page 28: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Improper Structuring of the WBS
• Error is often a result of organizing activities on the basis of “project phases” or on the basis of “group responsible for the work” instead of organizing the work by deliverables.
• Improper indentation of Summary Tasks and Sub Tasks, when using software applications such as Microsoft Project
![Page 29: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Set the Project Status Date
• Earned Value Measures are always measurements of performance captured at a particular point in time. Consequently, before calculating these measures, one must specify the Status Date on which the measures are taken.
• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate the Status Date using the pull-down calendar for the Status Date field on the Project Information dialogue box.)
![Page 30: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Set the Project Status Date
• Failure to properly set the Status Date will either result in incorrect data (the EVM measures will be based on an incorrect date – or will result in zeroes in the Earned Value fields in the Earned Value Tables).
![Page 31: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Baseline
• Failure to baseline activities once they are added to the WBS.
• EVM requires that work be broken into discrete activities; that these activities be baselined; and that Actual Performance be measured against the baselined values.
• Requires proper Change Control System, these activities (and their cost and schedule estimates) must be baselined.
![Page 32: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Baseline
• Project Managers who are new to EVM incorrectly assume that since the new activities were not included in the original baseline, they do not need to be baselined.
• Failure to baseline added activities results in zero values being recorded for the Planned Value and Earned Value Fields for these activities – and the calculations based on these values are therefore meaningless
![Page 33: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Reschedule Incomplete Work
• Common error made by persons new to EVM is failing to reschedule all incomplete work to occur after the Current Status Date
![Page 34: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Reschedule Incomplete Work
• Capturing the status of a project, it is necessary to track the current level of completion for all activities.
• All Incomplete Activities (and portions of Incomplete Activities) need to be re-scheduled to occur after the date on which the status is based
![Page 35: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35© 2016 Project Masters, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Failure to Reschedule Incomplete Work
• Failure to re-schedule incomplete work gives an erroneous impression of project performance.
• Work that is actually performed after its base-lined timeframe appears to have been accomplished on-time.
• Consequently the Earned Value Schedule Variance, Schedule Performance Index, and Estimated Date Of Completion will be misleading.
![Page 36: Measuring and Predicting - PMI...• (In Microsoft Project, the Status Date is specified by clicking on the PROJECT menu and then selecting the Project Information command; then indicate](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050314/5f7727e48f91a46fdf1f2cd6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
