Earned value management (EVM) provides visibility into a project's technical, cost, and schedule performance. It integrates cost, schedule, and technical data to evaluate progress and forecast completion costs. For a project to use EVM effectively, it must establish measurable work, develop a measurable plan and schedule, decide what work will be completed over time, track work accomplished, and verify costs. Taking action on variances is also important for managing performance.

Translating Strategy into Action with Enterprise Architecture WebinarPlanview
Jeff Ellerbee, Solutions Marketing Manager, Troux and author and former Gartner analyst Mark McGregor as they discuss why and how Enterprise Architects need to work closely with portfolio and project managers in order to deliver on the intended strategy.
Many enterprise architects mis-understand their business value and need ways to elevate EA in the eyes of their business colleagues. While most portfolio and project managers in an organization can easily recite their company strategy they are challenged to understand the meaning of that strategy and how it affects the choices they make. By working together enterprise architecture provide the meaning the PMO needs while closing the gap between the strategy and action that both groups need if they are to succeed in enabling the business to achieve its objectives.
Specifically learn how;
- The ideal connection points between enterprise architecture and the PMO work.
- Failure to increase cooperation could spell the end for both your EA and PMO initiatives.
- Planview is delivering cloud based solutions that address the needs of both architecture teams and the PMO individually and together.

Customer-obsessed firms take an outside-in approach, relying heavily on collaboration, to deliver desirable products and services. Product, marketing, and technology teams exchange information with a wide circle of people, both internal and external to the company. Email remains the vehicle of choice: 77% of information workers use email for internal communication, while 76% use it for external communication with partners and clients. Over half of information workers are on email constantly. These interruption-driven activities reduce the amount of time spent on an actual task activity to a mere 18%. How does anyone get anything done?
Managing the chaos of work requires solutions that enable teams to have a centralized location to work collectively and share digital content deliverables such as documents, presentations, web content, and videos and capture the contextual conversations around the activities being performed.

How to Thrive in a Fast-Paced Environment - The Art of Quarterly Strategic Pl...Cprime
It’s very common for organizations (both Line-of-Business and IT) to conduct strategic planning activity and major decision-making on an annual basis.
This might have made some sense when the pace of business was more predictable, and change was slower and gradual. But in today’s business environment, change occurs far too rapidly for that to work in most industries.
If your organization has gone agile, then, in a way, you’ve already acknowledged and adjusted to that new reality by making a conscious decision to embrace iterative, continually improving production in order to thrive in this fast pace environment.
So, if sticking to an annual strategic planning cycle simply doesn’t work anymore, then what does?
A far better option is to handle strategic Portfolio planning on a quarterly basis. But this new way of thinking implies a significant culture change…
You'll learn about:
1. Drivers for moving to quarterly planning
2. Creating a new mindset and focus on quarterly strategic planning
3. Implementing quarterly check-in on a Portfolio of projects across the Enterprise
Join us to learn ideas, techniques and best practices to help you and your organization thrive in this new fast-paced business landscape.

What Does Agile Mean to the Modern PMOMike Otranto
Given that digital business require Agile PPM (bimodal IT), PMO leaders are challenged to adapt governance processes to cover new, agile Mode 2 efforts that are not from the same mold as “traditional” project management structures. The requirement of successfully delivering projects using multiple delivery approaches side-by-side is not just a possibility, it is a high probability.
How has Agile PPM (bimodal IT) impacted the PMO?
How are Agile PPM (bimodal IT) application projects different than traditional projects?
How should project management methods, strategies and techniques change to support digital PMO in bimodal IT organizations?

Scrumagilean - An introduction to Lean Principles for Continuous ImprovementJon Terry
We all know that Agile is sweeping the project management world. Or is it Lean? Lean Agile? Scrum? Kanban? DevOps? There are a lot of buzzwords flying around. Some say they all aim to turn businesses into impersonal software factories obsessed with eliminating waste. Is that true?
In a word, no! Lean is really about continuous improvement and respect for people. Far from being mechanistic, it’s a much more humane way to work.
Jon Terry will discuss how lean and agile ideas really relate to each other. How lean principles help explain why agile practices work. And how those principles help organizations develop the operational maturity to allow agile to succeed beyond the team level.
Agile and Traditional Project Management Homogeneous or Hybrid Mike Otranto
Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process. Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved.
In today's businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology also makes things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we have seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge? It’s simple…. we accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that will develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.
Join us in this webinar presentation as we discuss the benefits of bringing Agile and Traditional Project Portfolio Management together in one environment. Topics include:
- The Project Management Evolution
- Agile Project Managment Overview
- The Benefits of Hybrid/Unified PPM
- Hybrid Project Management Tools to Support Today’s PPM
Agile is exploding in enterprises these days, moving past the experimental stag into full company rollouts. As this happens PMOs (portfolio management offices) and Agile Centers of Excellence are having to learn to work together to make team level agility align effectively with strategy.
Planview's Lean Agile Delivery Solution helps solve this problem by providing a combination of best-of-breed tools that provide agility at both the portfolio and team/team-of-teams levels of an organization. And by linking easily to existing development tools like Atlassian Jira and Microsoft TFS, Planview customers can gain the benefits of our product suite without forcing unnecessary changes on their agile teams.

Join us in this webinar as we walk you through the top trends in Agile transformation for 2018. If you are looking for a PMO that delivers quality with speed, resulting in competitive edge, we’ll show you how to deliver with innovative and relevant productivity solutions by providing the technology that aligns to the work, and the people that practice it.

Building simulation tools are commonly used in design for performance appraisal and optimisation. However, numerous studies have found that actual building performance often deviates significantly from simulation predictions. This paper proposes a detailed framework to produce calibrated operational models, which can support operational decision-making, and real-time control optimisation. The approach centres around a three-tier calibration process: Tier 1 focuses on Building-level (Demand-side) variables (e.g. occupancy, equipment, infiltration). Tier 2 focuses on system-level (HVAC) model components (e.g. heating / cooling coil capacities). In this phase, we use detailed building data combined with genetic optimisation techniques to calibrate relevant input parameters. In the case where system performance modelling is not necessary, we use free-form profiles (i.e. measured building data) to supplement these model components. Once system-level noise has been eliminated, in Tier 3 we calibrate the remaining plant-level parameters (e.g. central plant, electricity consumption, etc.). The approach is supported by two novel developments: (1) Free-form profiles: These are actual historic trends from existing building controllers, which are used to supplement model components where appropriate; (2) Genetic Optimisation algorithms are utilised to efficiently navigate the solution space to reduce discrepancies between the model and actual system performance. The proposed calibration approach builds upon prior research efforts to standardise the calibration process using evidence-based model development, combined with sensitivity and uncertainty analysis.

2. Concept of Earned Value Management
(EVM)
• A tool for the Customer and Supplier to have visibility into
technical, cost and planned progress
http://www.acq.osd.mil/evm
• Integrates the cost, planned (schedule) and technical aspects
into programmatic report synopses
• Insight into progress that provided information on cost and
planned (schedule) performance data
• Visually depicts budget efficiencies for both time and cost
• Time-phased budgets to specific tasks and/or statements of
work
3. Management Needs
• Indicates work progress that properly relates cost, schedule
and technical accomplishments
• Data presented are valid, timely, and can be audited
Supplies management with information at a practical level of
summarization
• Data presented to the customer are from the same internal EVM
system used by the supplier to manage the project
4. Guideline Concepts
• The guideline approach established the framework of an
integrated cost, schedule, and technical management system
• EVM Guidelines provides rules for a system that is acceptable
and that provides valid, timely data that can be audited
• The guidelines can be used for Research and Development,
construction, modification, and production projects
5. Industry Standards
• Industry recognizes the importance of earned value in
managing both supplies and services
• There are thirty two (32) Guidelines from industry standard
that should become your baseline in determining the validity
of any earned value management system
6. Management System
• In designing, implementing and improving the EVM system,
the objective should be to do what makes sense
• The management system that meets the letter of the criteria
but not their intent will not support management’s needs
7. Compliance will facilitate:
• Timely baseline development and control will provide
information break down by product as well as by organizational
function
• Objective measurement of accomplishment against the plan
that summarized reporting to higher management for use in
decision-making
• With reporting discipline and in objective analysis of variances,
will direct management actions to manage cost and schedule
performance
8. Earned Value Management
• TO BE EFFECTIVE:
ESTABLISH MEASURABLE EFFORTS - You cannot manage
what you cannot measure
DEVELOP A PLAN THAT IS MEASURABLE - That becomes
your budget
DECIDE WHAT WORK IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED OVER TIME
- That becomes your baseline plan
ESTABLISH WHAT WORK HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED - That
is your work earned or earned value
VERIFY THE COST TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WORK - That is
what has been expended
9. Earned Value Management
• TAKE ACTION DUE TO SCHEDULE VARIANCES:
What was to be accomplished at this point in time?
What has been accomplished at this point in time?
– The difference is the Schedule Variance
– Determine cause, effect and mitigation
• TAKE ACTION DUE TO COST VARIANCES:
What has been accomplished at this point in time?
What was the cost to accomplish the efforts at this point in time?
– The difference is the Cost Variance
– Determine cause, effect and mitigation

17. Purpose of Earned Value Management
• What does Earned Value Management do for Management?
Measurement of accomplished efforts against the plan so
management can effectively make risk management decisions
In designing, implementing and improving the EVM system, the
objective is to do what makes sense
Directs management’s decisions for cost and schedules
performance
18. Conclusion
• EVM is a proven value over many years
Integrates cost, schedule and technical performance
Provides planning and control discipline on projects
• Reports summarize objective data from the internal system
The program achieves improvements where accountability
derives systems effectiveness
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
It is now part of the International Standards Organization’s
requirement to become certified as a ISO 9000 organization
• Electronics Industries Alliance (EIS)
• ANSI/EIS-748-C
The new ANSI standard on Earned Value Management System
guidelines has been approved

Editor's Notes
Roger H. Mandel
2 Mar 2015
Only one data base used by the vendor and compiled to present to the customer.
Cost Performance Report changed to Contract Performance Report and now Integrated Program Management Report that contains 7 formats.
Generally all budgets are in dollars.
Cost is consumed budget or as an obligation such as an account payable.
Work packages that are budgeted and time phased in time to start and schedule time to complete.
Work package is such as IKEA purchased furniture. Inside is your work package to assumable the furniture.
What was planned to be accomplished in dollars over a specific period of time
Valid being true
Timely such a weeks or monthly per the Vendors account system.
Auditable can be verified. Objective verse subjective.
Objective could be a brick wall
Subjective a like developing software and the results are not well defined.
Well defined well written guidelines
Rule to be used
Some Federal agencies developed their own shortened (abbreviated) guidelines such as HHS.
First saw EVM used outside the DoD for the Sewage Outflow Treatment Plant in south bay.
Major corporations used EVM with their internal R&D projects.
If you cannot measure it you cannot manage it
What matters gets measured
You cannot manage what you cannot measure
What is measured gets managed
What gets measured can get improved
Failing to plan is planning to fail
Earned Value Management measures the efforts so you can manage the efforts
Schedule Variance of greater than 1.05 and less than 0.95 is a triggering point to determine cause, effect and the development of a mitigation plan.
Cost Variance of greater than 1.05 and less than 0.95 is a triggering point to determine cause, effect and the development of a mitigation plan.
Develop a trend and do not use only one data point.
I was once told that to develop trend you should have 8 data points.
In project management and the use of EVM data you should start with no less than 3 data points.
To manage a project you must know who is responsible and the WBS to OBS does that for you.
How are we doing?
As of period 5 are we on schedule and on cost?
Should the trends continue will we consume the budget and when will the project be 100% complete?
Visual
Just made larger
How are we doing?
Senior Engineer requested the chart and requested status and trends. This customer support.
Where should we concentrate?
Real project that was not successful concerning, it came in over budget and late to the original schedule.
