With increasing pressure to improve the cost and schedule performance of projects, many organizations now recognize the need to incorporate rigorous cost management and earned-value capabilities into their project management systems.

More recent research studies have shown that the application of Earned Value Management (EVM) in projects is positive predictors of project success. The popularity of EVM has grown in recent years beyond government contracts, a sector in which its importance continues to rise, in part because EVM can also surface in and help substantiate contract disputes.

To have a successful implementation of EVM, integration of project’s cost, schedule, and scope is key. In a single integrated system, earned value management is able to provide accurate forecasts of project performance problems, which is an important contribution for project management.

One of the biggest challenges that practitioners would face in implementing Earned Value Management is the use of “disparate systems.” They do scheduling in one tool, and cost estimating/ cost management in other tools. The tools are not integrated, and the data are not talking to one another.

Many tool providers have point solutions that will solve a problem, but not a lot of them will talk to one another; so trying to get the information from multiple sources into a single report is very difficult.

This lack of integration between various systems and data sources will diminish the effectiveness of Earned Value Management.

Without an integrated earned-value process, troubled projects can spiral out of control before anyone even recognizes a problem. Being able to integrate the project’s cost and schedule data into one common data source is critical to ensure effective monitoring and control of the project/ program.

Did you know that Oracle’s Primavera P6 has an Earned Value Management functionality that integrates detailed cost information with your program schedule?

Primavera Earned Value Management adds extensive earned-value capabilities, helping organizations and practitioners better manage project costs; measure earned value; and analyze the budget, actual, forecast, and performed costs.

With Primavera Earned Value Management functionality, you can integrate cost and schedule information into a single solution and generate the statistically accurate estimates needed to understand and communicate project performance while there is still time to address and deal with issues.

The key benefit of EVM in P6 is that Earned Value updates become dynamic in parallel with the schedule logic.

When EVM is updated in external software, in most cases the communications between Schedulers and EVM professionals begin to break down. However, when a schedule is synchronized with the internal EVM reporting inside the scheduling tool, this provides a dynamic perspective, which allows project teams to perform the intent of project controls; to establish valuable predictions & forecasts.

If you are already using Primavera P6 for planning and scheduling your projects, why not using P6 full capabilities by using its EVM features and allow real-time integrated cost and schedule analysis?

Planners, Schedulers, and EVM/cost professionals are three different industry positions. They usually work in silo focusing on managing and controlling one aspect of the job; either cost or schedule, not both!

Typically planner/schedulers don’t get engaged much in cost controls or don’t have a deep understanding of EVM.

Cost Controllers/ EVM Professionals are not fully emerged into planning/ scheduling & CPM schedule. Many might not know how to work with Primavera P6 scheduling tool.

Many planner/ schedulers and cost management professionals would like to advance their career and stand out above other candidates, but don’t know exactly how.

There is rarely comprehensive course in the market that shows how you can implement EVM in Primavera P6.

Does it resonate with you?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could enhance your knowledge in the concepts of Earned Value Management (EVM) and Primavera P6 and be the one who stands out from the rest of the crowd?

How would it feel if you could manage the project cost and schedule with confidence, knowing the step-by-step process in implementing EVM in Primavera P6?

Stand out from the crowd by learning how to implement Earned Value Management in Primavera P6

The good news is that Cesar Ramos, a Project Planner & Earned Value Management SME, and an Oracle Partner certified to train professionals in Primavera P6 & EVM Analytics, knows the ins and outs of EVM implementation in Primavera P6.

In this in-depth practical course, you will learn the step-by-step process on how to implement a successful Earned Value Management process inside Primavera P6 and maintain high degrees of integrity when reporting both CPM and EVM.

The combination of software demonstrations, “hands-on” EVM exercises, and practical, real-world P6 projects and exercises will help you build up the knowledge and skills you need in the utilization of Earned Value in Primavera P6.

The EVM in P6 training course spans over five weeks. Each week builds on the previous one and helps you gain expert level knowledge of not only the use of P6 but also a keen understanding of earned value from an industry best practices perspective.

The Earned Value Management Implementation in Primavera P6 course will be delivered in 5 sessions over the course of 5 weeks.

The sessions will be delivered online via our private and secure learning management system (LMS).  

You can start the course right away as soon as you enroll. If you cannot complete the course within 5 weeks, that’s totally fine. You have access to the entire course material and instructor support for one year and can take the course at your pace.  

Here is the course outline and what is covered in each session of the program:
