The concept of 'earned value' as a project management tool has been
around since the 1960s; although recognized as an important
technique and widely used on US Government contracts, it failed to
excite much interest in the wider world because of its specifically
American requirements and the cumbersome, prescriptive bureaucracy
that seemed to accompany it. Recently however, with the advent of
suitable software and used in a much more flexible way, there has
been a growth in interest among project managers. Crucially it has
been recognised that this technique can be helpful in a wide
variety of projects of almost any size, not just government
projects costing billions of pounds. In essence, earned value
allows the project manager a more precise view of actual project
performance in terms of both value generated and schedule progress
than is possible with any other approach. Alan Webb's concise guide
provides practising project managers with everything they need to:
c assess the appropriateness and benefits of the earned value
process for both their project(s) and their organization; c
appreciate, understand and learn the techniques involved; c
identify how to apply the data to manage projects with flexibility,
pragmatism and rigour; c understand the different features and
benefits of the various software packages available; c plan for the
introduction of an earned value methodology, anticipating both the
systems and people problems they may face. The book uses worked
examples, cases and anecdotes from the author's own extensive
experience to bring this technical subject to life. Alan's writing
style is direct and economical, which means that whether you are
dipping into chapters for reference or reading about the process
from cover to cover, everything he has to say is pertinent and
helpful.
