TMN, 2015, Issue 2: Introduction to Earned Duration
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Thu, 06/11/2015 - 19:47
In this article, published in 2015 in The Measurable News, the novel concept called the Earned Duration Management (EDM) method is discussed. This concept is initially developed by Khamooshi and Golafshani and published in the International Journal of Project Management. For the readers of Measuring Time, it is important to know that this approach is totally different from the well-known Earned Duration method of Jacob, despite the almost similar name. The EDM is an extension of Earned Schedule and since the new concept is not very widely known, it is therefore promoted in this article. In a second very similar article, this text is written in Portuguese for MundoPM. Click on the picture below to download the article.
EVM Europe conference Initiative achieves stability
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Wed, 04/30/2014 - 15:21
The EVM Europe 2013 event was held in Ghent (Belgium) on 3-4 December 2013, in collaboration with Ghent University and Vlerick Business School. As usual, it was attended by European as well as American people, both project management professionals as well as academics, including 17 students from Ghent University. In the articles “Top Five Observations from EVM Europe 2013” and “Top Ten Observations from EVM Europe 2012” Mark Philips describes his view and top observations of the EVM Europe 2012 and 2013 editions. Now, Kym Henderson has written his own view on the 2013 edition.

The EVM Europe 2013 event was held in Ghent (Belgium) on 3-4 December 2013, in collaboration with Ghent University and Vlerick Business School. As usual, it was attended by European as well as American people, both project management professionals as well as academics, including 17 students from Ghent University. In an article published in the Measurable News, Mark Philips describes his view and top five observations of his second meeting with our EVM Europe organization. Last year, he also wrote a positive review on the 2012 edition in the article “Top Ten Observations from EVM Europe 2012”.
TMN, Issue 4, 2013: Measuring Schedule Adherence
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Wed, 11/20/2013 - 10:04
In this article, published in 2013 in The Measurable News, the p-factor approach which is considered as a novel extension of Earned Schedule (ES) to measure the so-called schedule adherence is discussed. This schedule adherence concept is able to detect project impediments and risk of rework by only using the ES metric. This concept is not very widely known and therefore promoted in this and other articles. Click on the picture below to download the article.
CPM global initiatives continue to evolve

In a previous article written by Kym Henderson “EVM Europe: Plans for 2013”, the fifth anniversary edition of EVM Europe 2013 has been presented to the readers of the Measurable News. In a new article, Kym looks back at the events held in Australia, with keynote speakers familiar to EVM Europe. He also takes the opportunity (again) to promote EVM Europe 2013 and to announce the celebration of the 10th birthday of Earned Schedule.
TMN, Issue 2, 2013: Project Management using Dynamic Scheduling: Baseline Scheduling, Risk Analysis & Project Control
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Wed, 05/15/2013 - 07:02EVM Europe: Plans for 2013
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Wed, 04/03/2013 - 21:27As readers of the 4th edition 2012, Measurable News would be aware from the article “Top Ten Observations for EVM Europe 2012” by the now current Vice President Communications, Mark Phillips, the EVM Europe 2012 Conference held at the University of Twente in the Netherlands was a small but highly successful conference. The EVM Europe Conferences continue to succeed and develop in spite of the ongoing less than favourable economic circumstances in Europe. This reflects the extraordinary commitment of a growing group of Europeans dedicated to advancing EVM (and associated techniques) research and practice in Europe and beyond.
Top Ten Observations from EVM Europe 2012
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Wed, 01/23/2013 - 08:52
The EVM Europe 2012 event took place in Twente (The Netherlands) on 28-29 November 2012, in collaboration with Ghent University, Vlerick Business School and the University of Twente. It was attended by European as well as American people, both project management professionals as well as academics. In an article published in the Measurable News, an American attendee describes his view and top ten observations of his first meeting with our EVM Europe organization, and it looks like the Americans like what we do: “The conference was a great success and a pleasure to attend. There was a high level of discourse and personal engagement.”
TMN, Issue 2, 2012: Dynamic Scheduling: Integrating schedule risk analysis with earned value management
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Tue, 10/30/2012 - 09:11
In this article, published in 2012 in The Measurable News, two alternative project control methods, known as bottom-up project control (see ”Bottom-up project control: Setting action thresholds using schedule risk analysis") and top-down project control (See ”Top-down project control: Setting action thresholds using earned value management") are compared to each other. Bottom-up control makes use of schedule risk analysis to determine the set of activities that need the highest control (see “Schedule Risk Analysis: How to measure your baseline schedule’s sensitivity?") while bottom-up control relies on earned value management (see ”Earned Value Management: An overview") to create early warning signals when projects need actions.
TMN, Issue 1, 2010: Measuring time: An earned value performane management study
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Mon, 10/29/2012 - 15:00
In this article, published in 2010 in The Measurable News, an overview is given of the book “Measuring Time - Improving project performance using earned value management”. Many articles published on PM Knowledge Center are based on this research study and focus on the use of time predictors of earned value management as accurate forecasting methods for the final project duration. The book is available at www.springer.com and in a lot of online bookshops. An introduction of this topic can also be found in the article ”Dynamic scheduling: An introduction to project control”.
