Abstract: Earned Value
Management (EVM) helps project managers to measure
project performance. It is a systematic project
management process used to find variances in projects
based on the comparison of work performed and work
planned. The earned value management approach is
considered to be the most objective method available in
the measurement of project performances. Earned Value
provides the project manager with an objective way of
measuring performance and predicting future outcomes.
This can enable him to report progress with greater
confidence and highlight any overrun earlier. This in
turn enables the management team to make cost and time
allocation decisions earlier than would otherwise be the
case. It is generally true that past performance is a
good indicator of future performance and as such Earned
Value is a very useful tool for predicting the outcome
of projects in terms of time to completion, cost to
completion and expected final costs
