EARNED VALUE ANALYSIS IN PROJECTS TRAINING
[
TRAINING
OBJECTIVE To qualify students in one of the most powerful project control tools that is available. The Earned Value Analysis is widely used in the North American government and it has been increasingly used in other countries and organizations.
TRAINING CONTENT At the end of the course the student will be able to:
✓✓Understand the three components of the earned value analysis
✓✓Plan a project in order to use the earned value analysis ✓✓Create the Account Control Plans for performance assessment
✓✓Apply different mathematical models to determine the earned value
✓✓Calculate variances and performance indices ✓✓Establish different cost and deadlines estimates for the project from the current project performance
✓✓Distinguish the To-Complete-Performance-Indice TCPI from the current performance index CPI
✓✓Identify the major success factors in the organizations earned value analysis implementation

ADDITIONAL DYNAMICS As part of our methodology, in this course the following dynamics will be used:
[
CASE STUDIES › Ricardo Vargas and the Macrosolutions’ team have selected a relevant set of case studies and exercises that allow the participants to associate real and fictional cases the to daily work. › All case studies are appropriate to the nature of the client and the training audience.
[
GROUP WORK › Several studies and exercises will be proposed by the instructor in order to present a particular topic or discuss a particular approach to project management. › Throughout the training the teamwork will be encouraged and strengthened as a mean for the group to learn.
[
SIMULATORS › To discuss some mathematical and statistical approaches, the instructor will perform specific mathematical simulations to estimate the expected results for the risks, schedules, costs, among others. They are computational methods that use mathematical concepts, operational research and statistics as a conceptual basis.
[
LEARNING EXERCISES › During the training, students perform concepts retaining quick exercises. Usually the exercises are quick and direct and involve some kind of mathematical calculation. © Macrosolutions SA. All rights reserved.
