Description and Purpose
Accurate and timely variance reporting is a critical part of any EVMS. Done right, variance reporting protects both the project and all the stakeholders from surprises and miscommunication. While it can sometimes be less than a popular activity, the variance reporting process can be made a lot easier for everyone if it is well understood and well executed. For the government, good, candid communication about project status is really what an EVMS is all about. Variance reports are a major part of that communication.
This course will teach attendees best practices in variance reporting that will carry the business and the project forward with strong collaboration among the control account managers, project managers and the customer.
