Discover how project coordinators and managers can leverage EVM to improve project performance.
The Earned Value Management system is a popular project management methodology to assess the feasibility of a project's performance in terms of cost, schedule, and scope.
It provides a systematic and objective way to measure and track project progress, allowing project managers and stakeholders to evaluate the project’s status and make informed decisions.
EVM is especially beneficial for industries that focus on large-scale operations such as construction, energy and utilities sectors, where complex projects with significant cost and schedule implications are prevalent.
While project managers or coordinators may carefully lay out a project pipeline to ensure timely delivery, it is also important to tackle challenges that may halt project development. Through implementing EVM processes, project managers can identify inconsistencies, such as the earned value (EV) significantly lagging behind planned value (PV), that give early warning signs of task delays or cost overruns.
By implementing EVM processes, project stakeholders can gain valuable insights that inform their decisions to improve the entire project management pipeline, helping optimise their resource allocation, risk management and project priorities. When these insights are leveraged during planning, project stakeholders can come up with better project management strategies throughout the entire project lifecycle.
In reference to cost control, EVM provides an early overview of the differences between the planned cost versus the actual cost at any stage of the project. This helps project managers to identify cost overruns and take corrective actions. In addition, project managers can identify schedule slippages and make amendments to avoid instances of earned value significantly lagging behind the planned value.
When it comes to determining the potential figures of a project, EVM provides a quantifiable measurement of a project’s performance. This enables project managers and stakeholders to track and identify any discrepancies in the project management cost and schedule, which influences the on-time and efficient completion of the project. Knowing these figures can help decision-makers take corrective measures.

"Compass has bent over backwards to meet the needs of SRG Global. They have been patient as we went through the process of reviewing and approving the equipment. Equipment was then delivered promptly to the location we requested. The project does not start until the new year, but given the excellent service thus far, I am highly confident it will not have any issues with the network connectivity setup."
The three key components of EVM are planned value (PV), earned value (EV), and actual cost. These components play a pivotal role in calculating metrics such as cost performance index (CPI) and schedule performance index.
EVM gives an early overview of how a project is going to pan out. This gives project managers the flexibility and opportunities to address potential issues that could affect project costs, schedule, or scope.
