SCHEDULE ANALYSIS USING EVM DATA

D.1 Introduction

While there are limitations to using EVM data for schedule analysis, techniques have been developed which allow EVM data to be used to augment and improve the effectiveness of overall project schedule analysis.

However, consistent with long-standing EVM practice, the network schedule remains the primary source of schedule analysis. Also consistent with EVM best practice, the resource-loaded, time-phased network project schedule, should strongly correlate to the performance measurement baseline (PMB) as a prerequisite to effective “cost-schedule integration.”
