Earned Value Management System
(EVMS) Executive Overview
Training Course Outline
Duration: 3 hours
Target Audience: Executives and senior managers requiring a solid understanding of earned value
methods and the benefits of such to the organization
Purpose and Description
For any initiative to succeed in an organization, executive support is absolutely essential. This training
course has been tailored to introduce senior managers to the most pertinent Earned Value (EV)
concepts necessary in providing such support. While earned value is an intricate subject, the
executive and senior management team needs to understand only certain key elements in order to
perform their role in directing and supporting the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) and its
team members.
This course isn’t a generic EV summary class; rather it focuses specifically on the role that senior
management performs. It’s designed to help them drive the process with informed insights and
pertinent questions that will ensure continued commitment and success throughout the life-cycle of
earned value programs.
