What is Earned Value Management?
• Earned Value Management (EVM)…– Project management process that combines schedule
performance and cost performance
– Answers: What did we get for the money we spent?
– Used since the 1960’s by the Department of Defense
– Central part of CERT and C/SCSC (Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria)
– Was recently revised and adopted as ANSI/EIA 748

What are the Benefits of EVM?
• Brings cost performance and schedule performance into a single unified view
• Provides a true picture of a project’s value at any point in time
• Ideal method of monitoring project status and likelihood of success

Driving Trends Affecting EVM
• Owner Budgets are Being Reduced– Credit limitations– Less capacity for risk
• …Leading to Greater Owner Scrutiny of Project Health– Are we on track?– Have we over-paid?– What is the forecast?
• …Leading to Increased Adoption of EVM– In traditional markets: Aerospace, Defense– In new markets: Oil & Gas, Mining, Power, Civil, Commercial

Level of Detail in Planning
Specifics during detailed estimating:– Using more detail instead of less
– Detail the work into small manageable steps
– Rule of thumb: No activities >1 shift

Measuring Craft Productivity
– Measure craft productivity through Earned Value Process
– Based on activity progress
– Information to forecast schedule and cost at completion
– Evaluate Resource Needs and Deployment

Warning: Watch out for these common challenges
– Requests or tendencies to work on
jobs that are not in the schedule
– Sand bagging of progress
– Remaining duration on activities
– Rejections from Payroll
– Supervisors that may pencil whip a
timesheet or schedule
![Page 35: Melbourne streamlining earned value with hd published](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55524dd5b4c9059a4f8b4e3b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Case Study: Your Role
– Ultimately it is your responsibility to assure that the
progress that is turned in is as accurate as possible
– When monitoring work in the field, take the current
schedule with you to verify
– If you have a supervisor that struggles with any part
of the schedule, get the Project Controls group to
help
– Clearly communicate the expectations to your
supervisors
![Page 36: Melbourne streamlining earned value with hd published](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55524dd5b4c9059a4f8b4e3b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Case Study: Your Role
– Help to minimize down time between contractors,
crews etc…(this can be big)
– When PF’s are above 1.1 or below .80, go to the
field, find out why and communicate that to
management and project controls
– Monitor & Manage Material Movement
– Monitor & Manage Tools
– Monitor & Manage Equipment Utilization
– Manage Change Management
![Page 37: Melbourne streamlining earned value with hd published](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55524dd5b4c9059a4f8b4e3b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Case Study: Your Role
– Monitor Time Sheet accuracy
– Continuous Communication with
Management on Schedule Status
– Make time at least once a day to verify
accuracy of current schedule and
communicate findings to Project Controls
– Have Daily discussions with Project
Controls on Current Cost Report
![Page 38: Melbourne streamlining earned value with hd published](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55524dd5b4c9059a4f8b4e3b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Case Study: Your Role
– Document all delays
– Monitor and Manage Non-Working
Times
– Hold your supervisors accountable for
assuring that their progress is
accurate
– If you or one of your supervisors does
not understand something….. ASK
SOMEONE !

Case Study: Recap
– Who is responsible for Accurate Progress?
– What is affected by incorrect Progress?
– Explain the flow process for calculating
Productivity (draw flow on board)
– What can you do to support Accurate
Progress?

Case Study: Benefits of Accurate Progress
– Schedule Forecast
– Cost Forecast
– Manage Resources
– Enables the Owner to make sound Business
Decisions (Minimize Unit Down Time)
– It’s the Right Thing to Do

Best Practice Checklist
Cost Estimate to Measure Original Plan
Strong leadership demands EVM
Stakeholders make it clear on accountability
Management mitigating risk on results
EVM at the program level
EVM planned detail
Use past performance – History!
