Earned Value Management or EVM is standardized method used by project managers to track and predict progress and performance of a project.

It allows Project Managers with a way to accurately predict the future and overall performance of a project but using information gathered on completed work.

Using EVM one can monitor, report and correct project performance issues earlier in the project’s life than non-EVM managed projects allow.

This 3 part series will serve as a basis for EVM and will allow PM to start their EVM journey.

This presentation (week 2) will demonstrate how to use Microsoft Project to set up a Project that will track EVM.

It will cover EVM metrics and steps for measuring EVM.

Learning Objectives:

• MPUG will explore the reporting for EVM metrics within Microsoft Project
• What the metrics mean with regards to the health of the project
• MPUG will also look at other reporting mechanisms that you may encounter

In the digital world, the closer the relationship between an enterprise’s business and IT strategies, the greater its chances of achieving its strategic ambition. But good strategy alone does not guarantee success.

The strategy must be shared, understood and supported widely across the enterprise.

It also must be executed well. However, Gartner research found that only 47% of enterprises successfully meet strategy objectives.

To create and execute an effective IT strategy that contributes to the success of the enterprise, CIOs must master the best practices within the IT organization.

In this webinar Tomas Nielsen (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst & Ian Cox (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director  Analyst  will provide CIOs with a template for and examples of a strategy execution charter that will drive execution success.

Discussion Topics:

• Create an IT strategy that closely aligns to the business strategy
• Communicate your IT strategy efficiently
• Establish a continual process to keep strategy and execution on track
