This fully revised and updated second edition covers EV metrics, EV reporting mechanisms, and the 32 criteria of successful earned value management systems (EVMS) as promulgated by the American National Standards Institute and the Electronic Industries Alliance and adopted by the US Department of Defense.

This new edition has also been reorganized to enhance readability while retaining the same trusted and comprehensive approach as the first edition. You'll acquire even more insight into the mechanics of EVMS, build a thorough understanding of the processes involved, and benefit from the authors' practical presentation of how to best implement EVMS practices.
