Government Manager's Guide to Earned Value Management

This volume presents practical guidance for the government manager on earned value management (EVM), from basic calculations to how to find the most useful information online. Emphasis is on the relevant reports that contractors are required to submit to the federal government as part of their compliance with mandated EVM on projects. Because the data submitted on reports do not translate automatically into recommendations for actions to be taken, information is included on how to analyze and evaluate contractor reports. This book is a must-read for understanding EVM on government projects.
