“Your critical path schedule shows behind schedule. How come your EVM schedule performance indicates an ahead of schedule status?”

“We are going to finish this project 3 months behind the schedule. Tell me why your SPI is showing a good schedule performance?”

Have you ever faced an angry client or a project manager screaming, “what is wrong with your EVM schedule performance report?” We are late and yet show me good schedule performance! What is going on here?!

Earned Value Management (EVM) has proven itself to be one of the most efficient performance measurement and feedback tools for managing projects. However, a gray area in EVM that has created lots of debates and dilemmas is the EVM scheduling metrics.

A fundamental problem with the EVM schedule indicators, Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Schedule Variance (SV), is they are evaluated using measures of cost. For those first learning about EVM, schedule performance in terms of cost is confounding. Evaluating schedule performance using measures of time is certainly more appealing …and logical.

Earned Schedule (ES) resolves the problem by providing time-based indicators for measuring schedule efficiency and variance.

Practitioners of EVM have known for many years that its schedule performance indicators fail for late performing projects. Historically, EVM analysts accommodated the problem by deferring schedule performance analysis to the project schedulers, thereby reducing EVM to financial analysis, solely.

The introduction of Earned Schedule in March 2003 provided indicators and more analysis methods that are reliable throughout the project’s period of performance.

When using Earned Schedule alongside EVM, you'll create an integrated approach to effectively track and manage both project’s cost and schedule.

Did you know these astonishing facts about Earned Schedule?

✅ Earned Schedule (ES) is an extension to Earned Value Management (EVM)

Earned Schedule extends the capabilities of EVM by providing time-based schedule performance metrics and analysis. By incorporating ES, you can perform top-down schedule analysis, which was not previously available through traditional EVM. This expanded analysis capability offers a more comprehensive view of project performance beyond financial metrics and allows for more effective decision-making and risk management.

✅    Earned Schedule (ES) is institutionalized and widely recognized

Earned Schedule (ES) has been institutionalized by prominent organizations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and is included in PMI's standards for Earned Value Management (EVM) and scheduling. It is also incorporated into the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for EVM, making it a recognized and accepted practice in the field of project management.

✅    Earned Schedule (ES) has transcended industry boundaries and geographical limitations

The widespread adoption of Earned Schedule (ES) is evident on a global scale, with major defense contractors, esteemed government entities such as NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE), and even the Australian government incorporating ES into their Earned Value Management (EVM) standards. This versatile acceptance of ES indicates that it transcends the boundaries of specific industries or geographic regions and has firmly established itself as an indispensable tool in various sectors.

👉 So, if you have not yet been exposed to Earned Schedule or have not yet incorporated Earned Schedule analysis into your EVM analysis & reports, it's time to explore this powerful technique and.

Unlock a new dimension of schedule performance insight to your project management approach with Earned Schedule.
