Earned Value Management System (EVMS) is a structured methodology used to monitor project performance through quantifiable metrics that connect budgeted expectations to actual outcomes. It allows for consistent oversight of cost and schedule elements within authorized work plans. This training program defines the institutional logic behind EVMS as a control mechanism for integrated project tracking. It addresses how structured measurement, variance analysis, and forecast alignment support decision making and governance across project environments.
