We offer a simple software add-in that ensures when you calculate Earned Value (EV), your results are impressive. Our EV solution uses our "intelligent" plug-in modules architecture that upgrades your existing project management software using a plug and play approach.

The definitions associated with the Earned Value tables we calculate are industry best practices and can be found in many sources. Our development is based on the books, The Project Manager's Desk Reference, by James P. Lewis, copyright 1993, published by Probus Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois or Earned Value Project Management, by Quentin Fleming and Joel Koppelman (2005), Third Edition, published by Project Management Institute.

If you want to ensure the customer is impressed with your Earned Value status, there are two key questions that need objective answers and, when necessary, practical solutions:

• Is the team ready to implement the plan in terms of their knowledge and drive?
• Can the team maintain their knowledge and drive when unexpected issues occur during implementation?

Is your current software giving you an Earned Value about the answers to the questions above or is it leaving you guessing? Not only does our software give you objective answers to these questions as a green-red light dashboard, it also gives you practical solutions to turn red lights to green. Each read to green light solution is always proven against our statistical package that ensures your customers will be impressed with your project's Earned Value status before spending any time or money. That's working smarter and no harder.

• Are you implementing a business technology where the learning and growth of employees are integrated with the success of its use?
• Is there positive motivation, per each individual involved, to continually use the business technology without applying constant pressure?
• Does your new business technology cause your business culture to be more supportive of each other, creating greater loyalty and devotion within the organization?

EV and friends:

No one in industry would recommend that you only use earned value to manage an organization, so why does your current technology limit knowledge by only using it to manage your project? With a click of a button, our technology gives you industry standard analysis and reporting, including Balanced Scorecards and Activity Based Costing that integrates Earned Value, for any selection of tasks within your project plan, filtered, if needed, by group or individual.

Easy, fast and accurate:

The quality in which you describe Full Time Equivalent (FTE) hours within your duration hours when assigning a task directly affects your ability to accurately manage Earned Value.

One of the biggest challenges in developing a project plan is defining FTE within duration hours for each assigned task, especially in matrix organizations. Your ability to accurately define FTE and duration hours, and then resource level can be both time consuming and frustrating. Our technology simplifies FTE entry, duration entry, resource loading and resource leveling with straight forward data entry forms and push button automated features. What would take hours with other technologies, now takes only minutes using our simple software add-in to Microsoft Project.
