Abstract

Earned Value Management Method (EVM), widely used in the world, is a project management method of costschedule integrated control. But the traditional EVM sometimes cannot provide an accurate result. In this paper, a practical method is given to analyze the project performance, in which the Network Diagram Method and the Critical Path Method have been introduced into EVM system that can better reflect the practical situation of a project. This improved method can be referred to assub-level earned value analysis method. This method can correct variance in the duration and cost forecast of the traditional EVM, and can also provide more information about the cause analysis.

Keywords: Sub-level Earned Value, performance evaluation, Earned Value Management, Critical Path Method (CPM).
