Earned Value Management Workshop, March 12-14, 2013
The iCollege is pleased to announce that our sixth Earned Value Management Workshop will be offered March 12-14, 2013. This workshop is designed to prepare IT and Financial managers to understand and apply this valuable technique in the management and control of IT-intensive projects and programs. Priority will be given to Department of Defense, then to other Federal Agencies on a space available basis. Within those two categories,
priority will be given to:
- ITPM Certificate candidates and graduates
- CFO and CIO Certificate candidates and graduates
- Other current and former iCollege students
Course Description:
The use of Earned Value Management to track project status is not only a “best practice” in numerous organizations, but also mandated by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use during the development, modernization and enhancement (D/M/E) of major Information Technology investments. It is therefore critical that key management, finance and procurement personnel be aware of not only the concept but also the advantages and limitations of this management approach. This workshop is designed to prepare Federal IT professionals to implement, monitor and audit earned value management systems.

- Apply the concepts of earned value management to IT projects and programs.
- Develop the procedures required to comply with ANSI Standard 748A.
