Abstract
This study proposed a process for project progress management. Heretofore, project decision-making depended mainly on the project manager's experience and instinct and needs reasonable process of progress management. Progress management has a common cycle, "Grasp", "Work out", "Predict", "Evaluate" and "Decide". Nowadays, there is quantitative technique to "Grasp" project situation. It becomes a basis to "Work out" action sets. However, there is no quantitative technique to predict an effect of action sets. Hence, there is no way to compare action sets with quantitative criteria. On the other hand, there is EVM as method of measuring project progress quantitatively. We propose EVM to use "Predict" and "Evaluation" technique and clarified the process of progress management by using EVM as a quantitative basis.
