Program/Project Management Resource List #55

Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library

The first version of earned value management (or EVM) was developed during the Sixties by the Pentagon to measure how its projects were progressing. Since 2005, EVM has been a part of general federal project risk management practice. Using EVM, a project manager can answer these questions:

• How much is it really costing us to earn each unit of forecast value?
• How much is going to cost by the finish?
• When is it going to finish?
• Where are we now?
• Where are our problem areas?
• How does this compare with other projects?

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted. NASA Headquarters employees and contractors: call x0172 or email Library@hq.nasa.gov for information on borrowing or in-library use of any of these items. Members of the public, contact your local library for the availability of these items. NASA Headquarters employees can request additional materials or research on this topic. The Library welcomes your comments or suggestions about this webpage.
