A project management methodology that integrates scope, schedule, and cost to measure project performance and forecast future outcomes. Earned Value Management (EVM) compares the work planned, the work actually completed, and the costs incurred to determine whether a project is on schedule and within budget. Widely used in government contracting, defence, aerospace, engineering, and other complex projects, EVM provides objective performance metrics that support informed decision-making, early identification of cost or schedule variances, and more accurate forecasting of project completion and total cost.
