The Earned Value Management Compass

Earned value principles and the benefits they can bring to project control may be applied in a variety of ways. In some cases the principles are being applied without knowing that they are part of earned value. The key is to understand how and where earned value principles are being applied and to encourage them. This guide gives a defined means of establishing and improving project control capability. The Earned Value Management Compass, written by the APM Earned Value Management Specific Interest Group, is intended to support projects or organisations by improving their project control and earned value management processes.
