Project Management: Earned Value Management – Training Course

Project Management: Earned Value Management (EVM) is a practical training program designed to help professionals measure project performance, control costs, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Tracking project progress can be challenging without clear, objective metrics. Earned Value Management provides a structured approach to evaluating scope, schedule, and cost—giving project managers the insight needed to identify issues early and keep projects on track. This course simplifies EVM concepts and shows how to apply them in real-world project environments.

Participants will learn how to calculate and interpret key EVM metrics such as Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV), and Actual Cost (AC), along with performance indicators like Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Cost Performance Index (CPI). The training also covers forecasting techniques, enabling learners to predict project outcomes and make informed adjustments.

By focusing on practical application and clear analysis, this course helps professionals improve project visibility, reduce risk, and deliver better results.

Training Objectives

• Understand the core components of Earned Value Management (EVM)
• Calculate Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV), and Actual Cost (AC)
• Analyze schedule and cost variances to evaluate performance
• Use SPI and CPI to measure project efficiency
• Apply forecasting methods including Estimate to Complete (ETC) and Estimate at Completion (EAC)
• Implement best practices for effective EVM use

Course Overview

Earned Value Management is a powerful tool for tracking project performance and ensuring alignment between planned and actual outcomes. This course breaks down complex EVM concepts into clear, actionable steps that can be applied across a variety of projects.

Learners will explore how to measure progress using key metrics and how to interpret variances to determine whether a project is ahead or behind schedule, or over or under budget. The course also introduces performance indices that provide deeper insight into efficiency and project health.

In addition, participants will learn how to forecast project outcomes using EVM data, helping them anticipate potential challenges and take corrective action early. Best practices for implementation—such as maintaining accurate data, establishing reliable baselines, and communicating results effectively—are also covered.

Designed for project managers, team leads, and professionals responsible for project delivery, this training provides the tools needed to improve control, accountability, and overall project success.

This program is available with Spanish and French closed captions.
