Effective software project planning and scheduling
Executive Summary
1. Executive Summary – The unique value proposition of mEVM
mEVM detects the following (common) problems in project management long
before it becomes apparent :
Project does not have a solid plan of execution
Project does not have an idea of how much money will be spent at what point
Project runs into unexpected delays/difficulties
Project has overestimated/underestimated costs and schedule
Money spending is on target, but work is not done
By spotlighting the above (both to stakeholders and project managers), mEVM
allows for:
Taking corrective action early on and helps retrieve the advantage
Creates a trend line to observe if project is improving
Provides an objective, not subjective measure
Allows to forecast the total expenditure based on current progress
mEVM has a significantly lighter footprint than traditional EVM – setup and
ongoing report-outs are significantly easier and deliver strategic value to an
executive audience.
