Abstract
We can find the utilization of the EVM to IT project to be drawing attention in Japan, for example, from the publication of "Guide line for introduction of project management that utilize EVM(Earned Value Management)" by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA). However it is very much a situation in which there are only few cases which utilize EVM, even though the effectiveness of the idea is understandable, due to the lack of detailed procedure for the utilization of EVM to design, development and testing in IT project and the additional amount of man-hour required. In this article, targeting the project manager who may be considering the utilization of EVM, we will set up a model project comparable to the actual project handled by engineers and investigate the EVM utilization procedure and any action assignment that the engineers may confront.
