Earned value management (EVM), or Earned value project/ performance management (EVPM) is a project management technique for measuring project performance and progress in an objective manner. Earned Value Management (EVM) is probably the most important and needed project management tool. In Engineering, Construction and Project Management (ECPM) world where the need to deliver project within the budget and the timeframe is increasing forever, it will not be an exaggeration to say that EVM knowledge is a must for all the ECPM professionals. What is Earned Value Professional (EVP) Certification? An EVP is a practitioner of Earned Value with demonstrated mastery of contract language as it relates to Earned Value application, the organization of a project s scope into meaningful structure for execution; planning scheduling and budgeting the project work from initiation through close out using an integrated cost/schedule tool; proficient in monitoring project progress for performance measurement; an earned value management system (EVMS) and its related accounting components. The experienced EVP will have broad experiences in the interpretation of the EV data/metrics and possess the skills to provide, relevant communications (oral and written). How this certification will help you? EVM is the tool to measure project performance. However, merely conceptual understanding of EVM is not enough, project/ programme/portfolios needs a comprehensive system - Earned Value Management System (EVMS). EVP certification is based on American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Alliance Standard 748, Earned Value Management Systems (ANSI/EIA-748-current version) which comprehensively cover EVMS system design, implementation and management. So, being a certified EVP you will not only demonstrate EVM knowledge, but skills to design and implement an ANSI 748 compliant EVMS
