EVM Seminars to be offered at May EVM World 2009 Project Performance Management Conference in Florida
The PMI
College of Performance Management (PMI-CPM) has announced that it will
be offering several educational seminars this year at the EVM World
2009 Project Performance Management Conference. The 25th Annual
International Earned Value Management (EVM) conference, EVM World 2009 Project Performance Management Conference, will be held at the Naples
Grande Resort Hotel in Naples, Florida, USA during 27-29 May 2009.
EVM
World 2009 will provide one of the best opportunities in the world this
year to learn about project performance management, including EVM. The
conference will provide professional education training seminars and
workshops, presentations on current topics from practicing
professionals, updates from US federal government agencies, access to
world leaders in project performance management, networking and the
latest in software and consulting services.
Training seminars will be provided as a key element of the Professional Education
Program of PMI-CPM, and will include opportunities to improve basic and intermediate integrated program management knowledge and abilities. Key to the program is a solid foundation in the principles of EVM and EVM data analysis techniques. Data analysis allows management to identify early deviations from plans and take timely and effective corrective action. The integration of performance management, technical metrics and risk management processes are then introduced to the student. A capstone series integrates all of these elements and concludes with a case study demonstrating effective use of EVM. The training program focuses on proven and effective processes that are broadly applicable in both industry and the federal government.
The training program consists of six core areas or tracks, CPM 100 - CPM 600, which are presented at each PMI-CPM conference, and include:
Certificates are awarded for successful completion of the individual core course exams, e.g., CPM 200.
