This means that more and more agencies must have quality, effective earned value systems. The keys to success? A solid earned value infrastructure (WBS, cost structure, networked schedule) is everything. And now there’s also the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering’s Earned Value Professional (EVP) examination.
