New publication: Managing Cost and Earned Value

In the fifth edition of the book "Gower Handbook of Project Management" edited by Rodney Turner (Lille School of Management and The Centre for Project Management, Kemmy Business School, Limerick), a new article entitled "Managing Cost and Earned Value" has been published. The article gives a summary overview of Earned Value Management and Earned Schedule, but also gives a basic summary of the top-down EVM project control approach and its efficiency as originally tested in "Measuring Time". Obviously, references to ProTrack have been made since it still is our tool to analyze project data and to carry out research on this data.

The Handbook gives an introduction to, and overview of, the essential knowledge required for managing projects. The team of expert contributors, selected to introduce the reader to the knowledge and skills required to manage projects, includes many of the most experienced and highly regarded international writers and practitioners.
