Interfacing Risk and Earned Value Management

This guide, written by the APM Risk Specific Interest Group and the APM Earned Value Specific Interest Group, examines in detail the interfaces between two key elements of the APM Body of Knowledge.

This guide looks at the benefits of looking at project management techniques as a cohesive whole.
