Abstract
EVM (Earned Value Management) is drawing attention as a means for tracking and sharing the status of schedule delay and cost overrun of a project. EVM indicators are used for various purposes such as understanding and prediction of the project progress. Among them, SPI (Schedule Performance Index) and CPI (Cost Performance Index) are well known and have been used for progress management. In order to manage the project progress systematically with these indicators, it is necessary to set the criterion values properly for the management. The criterion values are expected to depend on the project scale and project period, and therefore, should be calculated appropriately with taking them into account. This paper proposes a criterion for process management using EVM, and evaluates the effectiveness of proposed indicators for actual data of a project.
