Title: A Simplistic Look at a Valuable Tool
Product review: Joel Koppelman and Quentin Fleming have provided project managers with a practical and readable review of the history, purpose and use of an invaluable tool - earned value.There is nothing difficult about the concept. Its focus is the accurate measurement of physical performance against a detailed plan to accurately predict finished costs and schedule. It requires a project's scope be defined and integrated with all of the available resources. If used properly, the calculation provides an early indicator of project slippage or the scope of project cost overruns.The book would rate, in my mind, a five-star rating if the authors included practical examples or a few case studies.
