What You Will Learn!

  • Simple EVM calculation in order to understand the basic mechanisms
  • Simple and Complex real-life EVM examples

Description

Embark on a transformative online course led by Jamal, a highly experienced project management consultant with 25 years of industry expertise. Throughout this comprehensive training, Jamal shares his deep insights gained through the development and utilization of various earned value management models across multiple projects.

This course takes you through the essentials of Earned Value Methodology. You will gain a clear understanding of Planned Value (PV), Actual Cost (AC), and Earned Value (EV), along with the formulas to calculate them:

  • PV = Planned Quantity x Planned Cost

  • AC = Actual Quantity x Actual Cost

  • EV = Actual Quantity x Planned Cost

By exploring straightforward examples based on an imaginary project, you'll grasp the concepts of Schedule Variance and Cost Variance. These scenarios include projects that are behind schedule but on budget, on schedule but significantly over budget, both behind schedule and over budget, and ahead of schedule and under budget.

Building upon this foundation, you will delve into a more complex, real-life example. You'll be presented with a scenario involving a construction company tasked with excavating a trench and extracting 1,000 cubic meters of sand within a ten-day timeframe, while adhering to a budget of $5,000.

The course concludes with an exercise that challenges you to fill out the second part of the EVM table for the "Digging a Trench" project, reinforcing your understanding of Earned Value Management.

Jamal's engaging teaching style, practical examples, and hands-on exercises will empower you to effectively apply Earned Value Management techniques in your projects. Gain the skills to monitor project progress, identify schedule and cost variances, and make informed decisions based on data.

Join us now for a transformative learning experience in Earned Value Management, guided by Jamal, a renowned expert in the field of project management.
