Course Details

This 5-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of Earned Value Management (EVM), a powerful project management technique for measuring project performance and forecasting future outcomes. Participants will learn how to calculate key EVM metrics, analyze project performance, and use EVM data to make informed decisions. The course emphasizes practical application through hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and the use of project management software.

Participants will gain proficiency in using EVM to track project progress, manage costs, and control schedules. They will also learn how to identify potential problems early and take corrective actions to keep projects on track.

  • Project managers responsible for tracking project performance.
  • Project controllers and analysts.
  • Anyone seeking to improve their project management skills using EVM.

This course is designed for:

  • New and aspiring office administrators looking to develop foundational skills.
  • Receptionists and administrative assistants who want to improve their efficiency.
  • Secretaries and personal assistants seeking structured office management skills.
  • Professionals looking to transition into administrative roles or enhance their capabilities.
