Value-based Project Management Metrics

/in /by

One of the key elements of effective project management is bringing together multiple concepts of scope, budget, and schedule management to have a system’s view of a project. It is essential to not rely on a specific element as the sole source of your evaluation of a projects status.

For this week, consider the following metrics and some potential pitfalls from the sole use of the Earned Value Analysis figures provided below:

  • SPI: 1.35
  • CPI: 0.8

What other information is essential to providing a complete evaluation of project status?

Support your statements and conclusions using at least one of this week’s recommended readings and one outside reference (a peer-reviewed scholarly article published in the last five years, references not to include required or recommended reading assignments, or the textbook).
