EarnedValueProfessional(EVP)- Certified Program

Date: 23 June 2014 - 27 June 2014 Course ID: 344/2014 Duration: 5 Days Fee US $: 3400 US$ Venue: Istanbul / Turkey Category: CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Introduction: This course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of earned value management (EVM). It will provide hands-on overview of the process of EVM, from project development to execution. You will learn the language associated with EVM. The course emphasizes the processes related to the Performance Management Baseline (PMB), the Integrated Baseline Review (IBR), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for EVM systems. You will also learn about evaluating and computing basic EVM metrics and EVM metrics-based Estimates at Completion (EAC).
You will gain valuable EVM skills through hands-on exercises that take you from EVM project baseline formation at the beginning of the project life cycle through the challenges of ongoing assessments and reassessments of cost, schedule and performance changes.
The course provides an excellent review of the studying requirements for applying for the Earned Value Professional (EVP) Certification exam by the American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE). AACE International's newest certification program is designed to recognize the Earned Value Management Professional. The EVP certification program offers specialty credentials for the professional who wants to validate his/her skills and be designated as an EVP. Many professionals practice earned value management principles during the project life cycle. Until now, there has been no certification effectively measuring the Earned Value Professional's capabilities - except through real-life performance. AACE's EVP certification provides an exam and experience validation that lets industry and users identify those who are competent professionals within the EVM discipline. Objectives: Earned Value Management System Objectives:
Plan all work prior to beginning it Measure performance based on an objective set of criteria Analyze schedule status and projections using a time phased network Analyze the expenditure of funds in light of the work accomplished (not work scheduled) Isolate problems: o Quantify technical problems within the context of cost and schedule parameters o This is not aimed at replacing or changing the process for technical problem detection Forecast completion date and final cost Take corrective action Maintain disciplined control of the performance measurement baseline Who should attend: The course is primarily intended for persons with responsibility for managing projects (project or program managers), or associated with the management of projects. The latter has included persons with responsibility for project oversight and governance (e.g. project directors and members of program management offices)
