AACE Rocky Mountain Section January Meeting Notice
Location - Embassy Suites Hotel Denver Tech Center, 10250 E. Costilla Ave.
TOPIC – Earned Value Management System- a Roundtable Discussion
(Facilitated by three industry professionals)
By- Randy Wyandt, Rose Blackburn, Ken Cressman
The panel will discuss the EVMS systems being used, the success of use, and the future of EVMS. Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project management technique for measuring project progress in an objective manner. EVM has the unique ability to combine measurements of scope, schedule, and cost in a single integrated system. When properly applied, EVM provides an early warning of performance problems. Additionally, EVM promises to improve the definition of project scope, prevent scope creep, communicate objective progress to stakeholders, and keep the project team focused on achieving progress.

He has extensive experience in all phases of projects from project development through to start-up and commissioning of facilities.
