Earned Value Management with Microsoft Project 2007

October 15-16, 2009
Hilton Hotel • Tysons Corner, VA

The Baltimore Chapter of PMI has once again teamed with Edwards Project Solutions (formerly Edwards Industries) to bring this valuable training course to the chapter membership at the greatly reduced price of $495 (regular price $830). This special offer is only available to the first 32 students that register (per class).

This intense 2-day course that combines Earned Value Management and Microsoft Project 2007 will provide a clear methodology and detailed process for tracking and reporting earned value metrics with the popular scheduling tool. It will also dispel the myth that "true" earned value metrics cannot be tracked and reported using Microsoft Project.
