Earned Value

Earned Value Education

Learn to effectively communicate project scope, schedule, and cost status information.

Scope

Learn to capture the true scope along with quality that the customer is requesting. Learn how to define your tasks, map your deliverables and milestones, what scope creep is and how to manage expectations, as well as manage change requests and contract modifications.

Schedule

Learn how to create an integrated master plan (IMP) and an integrated master schedule (IMS.) By development of a well-defined, complete plan you will be able to create a schedule (IMS) for use in the day-to-day program execution. In addition, learn techniques to identify, then mitigate risk resulting in increased probability of project success.

Cost

Project cost overruns occur when human resources are not well managed, material cost are not controlled, and manufacturing/repair/contruction processes are not adhered to. Learn to use your IMS to anticipate upcoming risk(s), how to communicate to your team the key points to watch for, as well as controlling budget for work packages.
