Designing project management: A scientific notation and an improved formalism for earned value calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
A new formalism and a corresponding new notation for earned value analysis are presented. With compact, consistent, mnemonic notation, earned value calculations become more transparent and flexible, leading to insights about standard quantities and advances through new measures. As an example of the notation s utility, it is used to generate a modified earned value approach that weights quantities according to their position in a project s timeline. 2005 Elsevier Ltd and IPMA.

Establishing Control Limits on Time Performance Indicators of Projects through Monte Carlo Simulation and Earned Duration Management
Earned Duration Management (EDM) method has been developed to enhance Earned Value Management and to solve some of its problems, such as separation of measuring time and cost dimensions. By providing performance indicators, this method makes it possible for managers to accurately measure the progress of a project and to calculate the time and cost required to complete it. Nevertheless, the acce...
متن کاملAn Extension of the Earned Value Management to Improve the Accuracy of Schedule Analysis Results
A project is any endeavor involving planned action, for example, developing a new product or constructing a dam. [CE1] Major factors for a project to be successful are applying performance measurement and feedback tool. One such well-known performance measurement tool to control the project execution is earned value management (EVM). EVM uses the fundamental principle that trends in the past ca...

متن کاملSelf-Starting Control Chart and Post Signal Diagnostics for Monitoring Project Earned Value Management Indices
Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...
