In the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in developing project control systems. The primary purpose of such systems is to indicate whether the actual performance is consistent with the baseline and to produce a signal in the case of non-compliance. Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in monitoring project’s performance indicators, by plotting them on the S...

being observed frequently that projects cannot achieve to their plan duration and their budget. utilizing retrospective method is one of the reasons for this problem. in this research two method, earned duration management and risk management, has been used to remove the gap of the plan and the reality; this enable the project to utilize both high accuracy of the first method and prophecy of th...

Project control has been a research topic since decades that attracts both academics and practitioners. Project control systems indicate the direction of change in preliminary planning variables compared with actual performance. In case their current project performance deviates from the planned performance, a warning is indicated by the system in order to take corrective actions. Earned value ...

Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...

As it is common in project management context, Earned value analysis usually integrates time and cost performance within the project scope. It helps the project manager to understand how to deal with project from two points of view. The first is to recognize current performance indexes and the second one is to provide a forecast to the future. However, most of decisions in this regard have take...

One of the common questions in all projects, is "How much would be the final cost of the project?" or "How much would be the completion duration of the project?". Earned Value Management presents a method for estimation of these results. In general methods and formula of Earned Value Management, future trend of project, are anticipated completely based on its previous trend, and changes in envi...
