APM Earned Value Specific Interest Group
The Earned Value SIG was formed in 2000. Steve Wake is the current chairman.
Earned Value Management appropriately implemented provides an excellent framework for Project Controls for any environment and any size project not just big ones.
Earned Value is useful to a wide community of stakeholders. Customers and suppliers, investors and auditors.
The use of Earned Value provides excellent foundations for Governance, Assurance and Benefits Management.
Its cost schedule control approach is also of benefit to finance. Cost and management accountants in particular.
The SIG manages a workgroup of interested professionals who meet on a regular basis to work on the production of useful materials for the subject.
To date the group has worked on:
• A guideline for Earned Value which is widely used and is reciprocal with the American ANSI 748.
• A guideline on the aligning of risk with earned value.
• Preparatory work on implementation guidance.
• Preparatory work on a foundation level exam.
• Preparatory work on a practitioner level exam.
• The APM EV Compass: an analytical tool which can be used to assess the EV Maturity of an organisation as well as plan the change toward a desired level.
• A white paper introducing discussion on the emergent Earned Schedule technique.
• Numerous papers, presentations for magazines and events.
Current work is looking at guidance on Earned Value Measurement through the whole-life cycle of a project, programme or portfolio. The EVM SIG will be presenting their work at a future event and will be asking APM members for participation and feedback in developing this knowledge further.
