TOPIC: “Tips and Tricks for Tracking Status and Earned Value Using
Microsoft Project”
RSVP to: Gary Lamba at (908) 281-0327 or email glamba@mkainc.com
Abstract
- Microsoft Project is one of the most popular scheduling tools used by
Project Managers. While Microsoft Project is not considered an Earned Value
Management tool, it does contain the data needed to perform Earned Value
analysis. But, most people, tracking Earned Value using this tool, will
tell you it is very difficult to do, or that it cannot be done.
In this presentation we will give you some tips and tricks that will make it easier to track Earned Value using Microsoft Project.
Although the focus of this presentation is on tracking Earned Value you will find that many of the tips and tricks presented are useful for tracking schedule status in MS Project.
Some of the areas covered include: getting help on field definitions and how fields are calculated; setting the baseline and status dates; setting up a tracking view and saving views and tables; setting the timescale to match your reporting periods; understanding how MS Project distributes Actual Work and the effect on Planned Work and BCWP; using Physical % Complete instead of % Complete; disabling MS Project from calculating Actual Cost automatically; and using a tracking view to update status and actual costs. We will wrap it up with a Question and Answer session.
