Course overview.
Beyond the formulas, the course covers the integration work that determines whether EVM produces signal or noise: WBS construction, control-account discipline, baseline management, and the variance-investigation rhythm that turns EVM from a reporting exercise into a management one. Real worked examples from UK government contracts, construction megaprojects and defence programmes.
Who it's for.
Project managers, programme controllers, PMO leads and cost engineers working on contracts that mandate or benefit from earned-value reporting. Particularly relevant for those working with MOD, infrastructure clients, or large-scale capital programmes where forecast accuracy materially affects business decisions.
What you'll learn.
The thirty-two criteria, simplified
Day one starts with the EVMS criteria that underpin the technique — explained in plain English with worked examples. You'll leave able to explain to a non-technical stakeholder exactly what EVM does and why it matters.
Variance analysis and to-complete performance
The metrics that actually matter — Schedule Variance, Cost Variance, CPI, SPI, EAC, TCPI — and the diagnostic workflow that turns them into management decisions. Real cases including programmes that recovered and ones that should have stopped earlier.
Embedding EVM in the project management rhythm
EVM only works if it lives inside the project's weekly cadence, not as a quarterly bureaucratic exercise. We cover the reporting structures, governance integration and review meetings that turn EVM from compliance into competitive advantage.
