The AACE International Earned Value Professional (EVP) Certification Study Guide has been developed to accomplish two purposes similar to that of the AACE International CCC/CCE Certification Study Guide. First, it is intended to aid professionals wishing to achieve AACE International's specialty certification in Earned Value Management (EVM). Second, the intent of the Earned Value Professional Certification Study Guide is to assemble and summarize various topics considered essential for Earned Value Professional (EVP) knowledge, as outlined in AACE International's Recommended Practice 11R-88, Required Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering and included in the current edition of AACE International's Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering.This publication will serve the needs of EVM professionals who are preparing to take the AACE International EVP certification examination. This publication is organized in a concise and easy to follow format, and covers the major skills and knowledge used by an EVM professional.The information contained in this Earned Value Professional Certification Study Guide parallels the related topics of the Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering and the CCC/CCE Certification Study Guide. These publications can be combined for a course of study in both cost engineering and earned value management. The publications include sample problems related to the subject matter.Terms and phrases incorporated in the Earned Value Professional Certification Study Guide are generic to the profession and listed in AACE International's Recommended Practice 10S-90 and the Glossary of Terms of this study guide. The terms and phrases used in industry and technical software may not always agree precisely with your understanding, therefore consult the EVP Glossary found in Appendix A.The goal of the AACE International Education Board is to continually improve this publication, making it a living document that will be revised as needed to support the EVP exam while maintaining the recognized strengths described above. All are encouraged to offer comments and suggestions for improvements in future editions. Please forward comments to the Education Board at AACE International.

Aileen's view on PMP Exam Preparation To learn to ride a bike, a person must ride a bike. To learn to pass the PMP(r) Exam, a person must practice with hundreds and hundreds of PMP(r) Exam Prep sample questions. This book is the first book in our series of mini- books - PMP(r) Exam Preparation Simplified Series Over the last 16 years Aileen has helped over 10,000 project managers in her workshops obtain their PMP(r) credential. Often the participants in Aileen's workshops are successful project managers who may lack experience is specific topics on the PMP(r) Exam. The topics that participants seem to struggle with the most are: Earned value Management (EVM) Contract types and calculations(FPIF, CPIF, PTA, etc.) Network diagrams including float, free float, project float, leads and lags Financial based questions including IRR, ROI, etc. Statistical based questions There is one thing all of these areas have in common and it is math. Aileen has decided to create mini-books in each of these areas so that students can gain both the knowledge and the confidence to get these questions right. Many project managers want to study just enough to pass the PMP(r) Exam and not one second more.Aileen's view is to practice on enough sample questions in each area so that the project manager is confident he/she will never get a question in that area wrong. While the primary goal of this book and Aileen's workshops is to help you pass the PMP(r) Exam, Aileen hopes that you will also walk away as a more knowledgeable and successful project manager.

Earned value management (EVM) is a management methodology for integrating scope, schedule, and resources; objectively measuring project performance and progress; and forecasting project outcome. It is considered by many to be one of the most effective performance measurement and feedback tools for managing projects. The Standard for Earned Value Management builds on the concepts for EVM described in the Practice Standard for Earned Value Management and includes enhanced project delivery information, by integrating concepts and practices from the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition and The Agile Practice Guide. A central theme in this standard is the recognition that the definition for value in EVM has expanded. While the term retains its traditional definition in terms of project cost, it embraces current practice by including the concept of earned schedule. This standard also integrates hybrid methodologies that blend together historical EVM concepts with the needs of the agile practitioner, all with an eye towards aiding the project team in enhancing overall project delivery. This standard is a useful tool for experienced project management practitioners who are seeking to expand and update their knowledge of the field as well as less experienced practitioners who want to learn other approaches for managing project performance. It provides insight and detailed explanations of the basic elements and processes of EVM, and demonstrates how to scale EVM to fit varying project sizes and situations. This standard includes graphical examples and detailed explanations that will enable the reader to establish and implement EVM on projects in almost any environment and of almost every size. When used together with good project management principles, EVM methodology will provide a greater return on any project and results that will directly benefit your organization.
