What is Earned Value Management (EVM)?

 Managing a project or a program to success is as difficult as managing a life with two wives. However, both of these can be managed with ease by proper planning and execution. In addition to planning and execution, tracking the progress of a project plays a pivotal role in managing the project. You must have heard Project Managers screaming like:
  • 40 percent of my projects are overbudget
  • I am not able to track many projects at a time
  • I can't track projects with these complicated WBSs
  • My boss asks for status of my projects frequently
  • All my current projects are behind the schedule
All these issues can be sorted and solved if the projects are planned, executed, and tracked in an organized manner. EVM plays an important role in tracking a project's progress.
