1 Project Evaluation and Control 13-01 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

2 Chapter 13 Learning Objectives After completing this chapter, students will be able to: Understand the nature of the control cycle and four key steps in a general project control model. Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of common project evaluation and control methods. Understand how Earned Value Management can assist project tracking and evaluation. Use Earned Value Management for project portfolio analysis. Understand behavioral concepts and other human issues in evaluation and control. Understand the advantages of Earned Schedule methods for determining project schedule variance, schedule performance index, and estimates to completion. 13-02

6 Milestone Analysis Milestones are events or stages of the project that represent a significant accomplishment. Milestones … show completion of important steps … signal the team and suppliers … can motivate the team … offer reevaluation points … help coordinate schedules … identify key review gates … delineate work packages 13-06

12 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Steps in Earned Value Management 1. Clearly define each activity including its resource needs and budget 2. Create usage schedules for activities and resources 3. Develop a time-phased budget (PV) 4. Total the actual costs of doing each task (AC) 5. Calculate both the budget variance (CV) and schedule variance (SV) 13-12
