Earned value management promotes effective project planning, monitoring, and control. The earned value management system training courses identified on this website will provide tools and techniques to identify early warning indicators to gain greater insight into potential risk areas associated with administration of complex contracts during the contract administration phase of the acquisition process.

1. Course Title: Earned Value Management in Projects

Training Provider: Management Concepts

Course Objective:

Define Earned Value and why it is important to your project
Explain the relationship between the cumulative cost curve and the project budget
Develop a control account plan and establish a performance measurement baseline
Calculate cost and schedule variances and use them to monitor project performance
Forecast final cost and schedule results using the cost performance index and the schedule performance index

Use statistical process control tools and techniques to improve project performance

Length: 2 days

2. Course Title: Unlocking the Power of Earned Value Management

Training Provider: ESI International

Course Objective:

Harness the power of EVM to control your project
Indicate work progress in a more objective way within and across projects
Properly relate cost, schedule and technical accomplishment
Relate time-phased budgets to specific tasks and/or statements of work to create a useful and realistic baseline

3. Course Title: Fundamentals of Earned Value Management

Training Provider: DAU Continuous Learning Center

Course Objective: The course summarizes the language, data reports, metrics, graphs, and management processes associated with EVM as they apply to DoD acquisition management. The course emphasizes the processes related to the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB), the Integrated Baseline Review (IBR), and the American National Standards Institute American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for EVM Systems. Finally, students evaluate and compute basic EVM metrics and EVM metric-based Estimates at Completion (EACs).

4. Course Title: Intermediate Earned Value Management

Training Provider: DAU Continuous Learning Center

Course Objective: Intermediate Earned Value Management (EVM) students work as members of an integrated product team for the system development and demonstration phase of a program. In the context of integrated program management, students review, develop, and experience the EVM-related processes associated with requirements generation, acquisition strategy development, Request For Proposal (RFP) development, source selection, risk management, Integrated Baseline Review (IBR), and analysis during program execution.
