Integrated project management is becoming increasingly important for project organisations in the Netherlands.

Earned Schedule – The Appropriate upgrade of your EVMS

Now we’ve learned the basics of Earned Value Management calculations (see this blog), it’s time to introduce a new metric to define our project’s health.

It is to be replaced with a more comprehensive one. Time for change.
