Earned Value Management | Live, ONLINE

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project planning and control approach which provides cost and schedule performance measurements. It compares actual accomplishment of scheduled work and associated cost against a baseline schedule and budget plan. Its benefits include projections of anticipated project schedule, and cost trends, and the ability to take timely corrective actions for undesired variances. EVM is one of the most powerful
and productive concepts used in managing today's complex projects in private, commercial, and government environments. The fundamentals of EVM will be presented in a down-to-earth, basic approach, along with hands-on exercises and examples that will allow participants to apply the concepts.

Participants will:
• Obtain basic knowledge in understanding and using an effective performance
management system in managing construction projects effectively
• Detect both positive and negative trends in a timely manner
• Forecast the Projected Final Cost (Estimate at Completion) using several techniques
• Confidently and quickly make project decisions concerning scope, cost, and schedule
• Learn to avoid the project-management pitfalls by identifying and mitigating risks

Anyone whose work involves planning and progressing the work: project managers, project coordinators, construction managers, superintendents, general foremen and estimators of all levels will benefit from the workshop. This course is for owners, consultants, contractors and subcontractors in all segments of the construction industry.

This course is delivered as an interactive Virtual Instructor Led Training
(VILT) course using the PESL GoToTraining platform.

In order to attend, you’ll must make sure you have the following:

• Computer or laptop with webcam: This course will involve on-screen interaction with your instructor and classmates, reading/viewing on-screen content like slides or videos, and interacting via typing with questions or responses. For this reason, you must have a full computer/laptop, and we do not permit students to attend using a tablet or cell phone.
• A quiet space with minimal distractions: Please plan to be fully engaged in the class, and clear your work schedule just as you would for attendance in an in-class program.
