Earned Value Management for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers change control and scope definition from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because most project failure is visible in the schedule long before it is admitted in the status report, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with project closure, project initiation and cost estimation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put project closure on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against earned value management
- Bring project initiation into line with current good practice
- Explain cost estimation to someone who does not do the work
- Improve quality assurance within their own organisation
