Schedule lesson learned meetings regularly

Provide an anonymous method for submitting lessons

Hold lesson learned sessons without management

Remind team members to remain positive

  1. Which of the following is an index value used by EVMS?

ACWP

CPI

BAC

All of these are index values used by EVMS

Which of the following is not a true statement regarding CV or ACWP?

A negative CV or ACWP value indicates a cost overrun is occurring

A CV/ACWP is expressed in dollaer ($)

A CV/ACWP can be used to determine when a project will complete

All of these are true statements

You are using EVM to track your project. Your EV calculation is higher than planned value and actual value. That means the project is ________ schedule and ______ budget.

behind; under
