14 PDUs/Contact Hours 

Financial accountability is at the top of the President’s agenda and the ripple effect flows all the way down to individual project managers and their responsibility to ensure that projects are effectively planned, executed and completed within the agreed upon cost and schedule commitments. With this increased focus on financial accountability, government agencies have increased the number of contracts requiring earned value management (EVM) and private industry businesses are implementing EVM as a method for controlling internal project costs.

In this 2-day class, you will learn how to establish and manage to an effective and realistic performance measurement baseline (PMB) using ANSI-compliant earned value management practices. We will take you beyond EVM terms and definitions to applying earned value management techniques. Through extensive use of hands-on exercises, you will learn how to organize the project work for effective control, plan the project scope, schedule and cost baselines, establish the performance measurement baseline, manage performance through the use of control account plans, measure and analyze performance, plan and execute corrective actions, forecast future performance based on past performance, report on project performance and manage changes to the PMB.
