Features: Currently, Earned Value Management (EVM) has matured, but its history can be traced back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution, evolving multiple times over the years. Previously, the U.S. Department of Defense was the sole user of EVM, but now governments and commercial enterprises worldwide have begun adopting it. The development of EVM has paralleled the growth of project management. EVM is an integrated project management method. As a project manager, it is your responsibility to contribute to understanding the core principles of EVM, thereby making it more widely applicable to more projects. This is a comprehensive monograph introducing the latest modern theories and methods of integrated project management, the result of Mr. Webb's many years of research on EVM. The book systematically and comprehensively presents the theories and methods of integrated management of project costs and project time, making it the most up-to-date and authoritative monograph on modern integrated project management today.
