Guy Kawasaki is like Rock ‘N Roll – Fun, Energetic, Multifaceted, Popular & Full of Passion. And just like Rock ‘N Roll f you don’t get it (him) you never will 😉

A Silicon Valley venture capitalist. Guy Kawasaki (@GuyKawasaki) was one of the Apple employees originally responsible for marketing the Macintosh in 1984. Guy is a Co-founder of Alltop (@Alltop) former chief evangelist of Apple and author of 10 books including his latest Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions.

My favorite Guyism is his 10 20 30 rule for presentations – 10 Slides 20 Minutes and no less then 30 point font and if you disagree with the font recommendation take the age of the oldest participant and divide by 2 😉

For many companies looking to improve project performance, Earned Value Analysis (EVA) seems a logical technique to use on projects to better understand and manage performance.

Unfortunately, the reality for many companies is no improvement is achieved, project management costs are up and people are complaining about all of the ‘extra paperwork’.

This talk will cover some of the top pitfalls that can make the use of earned value analysis unsuccessful, along with suggested corrective actions that can be applied to projects to counter these hazards.

Additionally, this webinar will cover key metrics to monitor when using earned value analysis.
