Milestone Analysis Milestones are events or stages of the project that represent a significant accomplishment. Milestones … show completion of important steps … signal the team and suppliers … can motivate the team … offer reevaluation points … help coordinate schedules … identify key review gates … delineate work packages

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Steps in Earned Value Management 1. Clearly define each activity including its resource needs and budget 2. Create usage schedules for activities and resources 3. Develop a time-phased budget (PV) 4. Total the actual costs of doing each task (AC) 5. Calculate both the budget variance (CV) and schedule variance (SV) 13-16
