Abstract

Earned value management (EVM) is one of the most widely used control tools in project management. It is a well-known management system that integrates cost, schedule and performance. Based on the traditional concept of EVM, the cost/schedule monitoring and forecasting model is proposed in this paper. It gives us the analysis steps and provides the methods for monitoring the actual situation and forecasting the final cost and duration. By using this model, the managers are able to know timely the status of a project in terms of budget and schedule and forecast the developing trend and ultimate outcome of the project. So it is a reliable method to improve the capability of project managers for making reasonable decisions.
