Discover the essential skills and techniques needed to effectively create, manage, and evaluate program schedules for large, complex projects with earned value (EV) requirements. This course provides a deep dive into the principles of scheduling processes, schedule health assessment, risk analysis and integrating subcontractor schedule data, all while ensuring EV compliance.

Aligned with the industry-standard Planning and Scheduling Excellence Guide (PASEG) and generally accepted scheduling principles (GASP), EVSM equips you with the tools and methodologies to develop high-quality schedules that drive project success. By mastering these concepts, you'll enable managers to make data-driven decisions, optimize project performance and enhance overall schedule accuracy and reliability.
