Do you ever need an objective measure of how your project is performing?

Fortunately, with Earned Value Management (EVM), you can get a close estimate!

See how you can use EVM to determine your project’s project performance and progress – in SharePoint – the fast and easy way!

Learn how to use a project site template to:

  1. Define a Task Plan
  2. Set Planned Value
  3. Track Project Progress
  4. Calculate Earned Value
  5. Track Actual Cost
  6. Calculate Performance Indices

Sometimes project managers feel like Microsoft Project is a “Black Hole”

They know the data is in the project somewhere, but they do not know how to find it.

For example, did you know that Microsoft Project offers no default table or view that allows a project manager to analyze Duration variance?

In this Webinar, EPMA will teach you how to create at least three custom views that will make your life easier using Microsoft Project by pulling the data out of the “black hole” in Microsoft Project!

At least one of these views will also include a custom table and a custom filter as well.
