Abstract:
Earned Schedule (ES) is a method of extracting schedule information from Earned Value Management (EVM) data. The method has been shown to provide reliable schedule indicators and predictors for both early and late finish projects. ES is considered a breakthrough technique to integrated performance management and EVM theory and practice. The method has propagated rapidly and is known to be used as a management tool for software, construction, commercial and defense projects in several countries, including the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Belgium, and Sweden. The principles of Earned Schedule have been included in the Project Management Institute-College of Performance Management, Practice Standard for Earned Value Management as an “emerging practice”. Webinar participants can expect to have an understanding of ES, and how it is calculated, and the derived schedule performance indicators. Further, participants will have the foundation to perform schedule projections and critical path analysis from a macro level view, as a supporting method to the detailed bottom-up techniques in use today.
