Kazanılmış Değer Yönetimi Uygulamaları ve Geleceği: Türkiye Örneği

Abstract

This paper examines the Earned Value Management (EVM) practices in Turkey. The authors identify the factors affecting the awareness and implementation of the methodology and derive implications for its future use. A comprehensive questionnaire was designed and semi structured interviews were conducted with experienced managers from several industries. This study is original in the sense that it brings an in depth analysis on the factors affecting the acceptance and frequency of use of EVM in Turkey. The authors report that the industry, project management experience, role in projects and the use of project management software are the factors that affect EVM awareness. Regarding the implementation, the authors observe that respondents who work in defense and production sectors are more likely to use EVM. Companies that are using lump-sum and unit price projects are more likely to use EVM while companies that are using in-house projects are less likely.
