Assignment 4: Earned Value Management (EVM)

Due Week 8 and worth 130 points

Use the Internet to research articles on EVM.

Project managers often use Earned Value Management (EVM) if they want to compare the status of their projects to their project plans. Using the same project from Assignment 3, develop a project scenario to explain the amount of work that you have completed with the funds allotted.

This assignment consists of two (2) sections:

• MS Project Exercise
• EVM paper

You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for which it is written. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Section 1: MS Project Exercise

Assume that your project is using more resources (e.g., time, money, and / or other non-labor resources, etc.) than anticipated through 50% of the project duration.

1. Update the project schedule to reflect related resource changes.

2. Produce a series of EVM reports from MS project that illustrates your project’s performance. Note: Your reports should focus on the cost and schedule performance of the project.

Section 2: EVM Paper

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

3. Summarize the resource changes of your project, and discuss the performance results of your project.

4. Determine one (1) performance measurement baseline for your MS Project. Justify your response.

5. Apply earned value analysis (EVA) in order to forecast future cost issues. Justify your response.
6. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA format
