1.2.3 Costing and Earned Value Management
In today's highly competitive world, for owners, being able to be “first to market” with a new product makes the difference between staying in business and going bankrupt. For contractors, good estimating makes the difference between getting a job and being “second” bigger. This seminar explores proven tools and techniques for either contractors or owners to take advantage of the “The Trade Off” between scope, cost, time, quality and risk to bring your project as early as possible, while not bankrupting your subcontractors and vendors in the process.
The Planning phase is of key importance in major projects. The ability to prepare a good work breakdown structure to be used for a cost estimate is getting more and more critical in an increasingly competitive market. In order to increase the success rate of projects, it is key to understand where the project is at a certain moment. For Project Managers questions like; “how much money did we put in, and how much did we get for our money” are real life questions.
According to Standish and other research organizations more projects fail then succeed! They fail by cost or time overruns or not meeting expectations.
 
With the workshops offered we want to give you the tools and knowledge to prepare good cost estimates and create an Earned Value Management system within your company.
This workshop is delivered in cooperation with Mr. Paul. D Giammalvo from http://www.getpmcertified.com/
