Method “Earned Value Management” for Timescale Controlling in Construction Projects

Article Preview

Abstract:

Article presents an assessment of using “Earned Value Management” method for monitoring the construction projects completion on time. It describes the technique of Earned Value Management for Project Time Management. A specific example analyzes the possibility of using indicators Earned Schedule and Independent Estimate of Completion (time) and represents conditions when this indicators do not give correct results.
