Gatlin Education Services Teaches Professionals to Harness the Power of Earned Value Management

FORT WORTH, Texas – Successful project managers know that to reduce risk, they must control project plans carefully by monitoring cost, time and performance. One effective technique used by these managers is Earned Value Management. In addition to establishing a way of planning and estimating all types of project work efforts, EVM provides the framework for developing consistent management measurements across projects and industries.

To help professionals sharpen their project management skills, Gatlin Education Services now offers a new Understanding Earned Value Management course. Available at www.gatlineducation.com/earned_value_management.html, the course is offered through Gatlin’s partnerships with more than 700 colleges and universities worldwide.

Using a case study and several interactive exercises, the course is designed to walk students through the process from start to finish giving them hands-on practice. Upon course completion, students will be able to apply Earned Value formulas, determine how to apply the appropriate completion credit rules for all types of project work efforts and demonstrate how to incorporate EVM to status project performance and forecast completion.

“In today’s competitive marketplace, managers are looking for more effective ways to manage projects with lower budgets and in shorter time frames,” said Stephen Gatlin, founder and CEO of Fort Worth-based Gatlin Education Services. “With a strong background of Earned Value Management, individuals can secure a lucrative job position and become an invaluable asset in any industry.”
