Publicised by the IEEE Computer Society Performance-Based Earned Value®(PBEV™) is said to be the complete guide to earned value management. The authors aimed to produce a text that covers the needs of both the novice, who may be preparing for the Project Management Institute (PHI®) PMP®examination, and also for the experienced project manager. It is the acquisition manager who ensures that any plan formulated integrates properly the technical schedule and cost objectives.
Management scientists and cyberneticains will, it is claimed, find the book valuable for use with performance-based contracting projects where the supplier's performance, including the quality and technical maturity of a product's design and developments, needs to be carefully monitored.
