Description
Earned value is a management technique that relates resource planning to schedules and to technical cost and schedule requirements. All work is planned, budgeted, and scheduled in time-phased "planned value" increments constituting a cost and schedule measurement baseline. There are two major objectives of an earned value system: to encourage contractors to use effective internal cost and schedule management control systems; and to permit the customer to be able to rely on timely data produced by those systems for determining product-oriented contract status.

Disappointing
This topic does not really cover EVM in any depth. The modules are poorly put together with almost a minute of dead air time and introduction...."this is from the DAU....."; yea...I know...I downloaded it! Really? I expected more from an organization like the DAU! Topic matter is short and sweet. Not real informative.
