Currently the Project Management Institute (PMI) estimates that approximately 25% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is spent on projects of various kinds and that about 16.5 million professionals are directly involved in project management worldwide. This volume of projects and changes in the world scenario, increasingly competitive, generate the need for faster results, with higher quality, lower costs and shorter deadlines. Among the main techniques for analyzing cost, time and scope performance, the Earned Value Management (EVM) technique is considered to be the most reliable. Several formulas derived from EVM’s measurements are available and have been studied over the past 15 years. However, EVM has a significant limitation regarding quality in its method. The technique is effective in providing cost and schedule related information but is still weak in taking the quality factor into account. The main objective of this work is to contribute to studies that seek to add the quality component into EVM and comparing performance between them. This paper presents the results of a systematic review, providing a comprehensive summary of the main problems with the use of the EVM technique and the possible solutions found to improve its capacity to predict the impact of quality (possible bugs or nonconformities) in the course of a project’s life cycle.

Earned value management agent-based simulation model.
1. Introduction
2. problem statement, 3. methodology, 3.1. modeling and simulation method.
- System analysis. In this activity, we establish the aim of the model based on the research questions. The result is an analysis statement. In our case, it is a narrative document based on the ODD protocol that defines the purpose and details of the model we built.
- Conceptual modeling of the system. In this activity, we analyze the problem domain’s language to make a first approximation. The result is a conceptual system model. We use the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to represent the abstractions produced in the analysis of the problem language.
- Simulation design. In this activity, we design the simulation. The result is a simulation model based on a specific framework or tool. We use the Netlogo tool as the technological basis for the design.
- Simulation Code Generation. In this activity, we write a computer executable code that implements the designed model in the selected tool. The result is a simulation code. The generated code is written in Logo for Netlogo and implements the simulator design.
- Simulation Setup. In this activity, we configure the experiment in the simulator. Using input data, we specify simulation scenarios. We used Netlogo’s BehaviorSpace tool to experiment with a dataset based on a typical software project management template with 61 core tasks and a max of seven employees. This experimentation consisted of 2100 runs resulting from the combination of input variables and their possible valid values.
- Simulation execution. In this activity, we ran the experiment within the pre-set parameters. We obtained simulation results. The data obtained are the product of each “tick” (the discrete-time in Netlogo) and the states of all the input variables, agents, and earned value management metrics produced in each of the 2100 runs. The resulting data give us system state information in the entire parameter space.
- Simulation Results Analysis. In this activity, we analyze the results to contribute to the clarification of the proposed research questions. We use the resulting data to generate a simulation analysis report. We performed the following: (a) a t-Student test to compare dissimilarities in the results of simple scenario simulations between our prototype and tools suggested by PMI to analyze the EVM in hypothetical projects; (b) a sensitivity assessment to support the interpretation; (c) an explanation of simulation model outcomes and an active nonlinear test to examine the necessary considerations in the simulation structure and thereby begin to approach complexity.

Appendix A.2. Design Concepts
Appendix a.2.1. basic principles.
- A task backlog: a task backlog (to-do column) requires individuals to complete it.
- A task board: task states are portrayed on a task board to visualize the project’s advancement.
- Players: players must take as many tasks as permitted from the “to-do” queue and deliver them to the “done” cue in the panel. While a player is working on an assignment, he must keep the assignment tag in the “in-progress” column.
- A cost and schedule: the task has a planned cost in hours and start–finish time, but the worker could delay or advance in completing the job, or environmental situations could increase and decrease the final cost.
- Performance metrics: the earned value management metrics estimate the project performance.

Abstract: This paper delves into data from eight NASA projects compiled by the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). This data is also compared to data from a previous Department of Defense (DoD) study. The resulting analysis provides quantifiable metrics that confirm the benefits of Earned Value Management (EVM) across ...
The current research mainly considers two processes of project control, namely project monitoring that measures the project progress and reviews whether this progress is acceptable, and corrective action taking that repairs the project progress. Table 1 summarizes the relevant research studies and categorizes them according to project monitoring, corrective actions, restrictions, and project ...
Abstract. The earned value project management method integrates three critical elements of project management: scope management, cost management, and time management. It requires the periodic monitoring of actual expenditures and physical scope accomplishments, and allows calculation of cost and schedule variances, along with performance indices.
The earned value method (EVM) is an internationally known technique for project management that emphasizes the control of project cost performance and duration, thus allowing trends to be identified during execution and warning the project manager of variances that may affect the project so that they can take the necessary corrective measures. In this research, the finished projects of a ...
This paper will do this by focusing on the following points: (1) RBSP is the first full-up implementation of earned value management (EVM) at JHU/APL; (2) RBSP EVM started in Phase B; (3) RBSP EVM ...
Successful project management depends on ensuring the project's objectives. Within these objectives, technical success is associated with achieving the expectations of the project baseline. The baseline of the project is made up of the definition of the scope (WBS), time (schedule) and costs (S curve) of the project. Directly, the project is expected to be technically successful if it ...

Lastly, papers where EVM is merely a side-remark in the paper and not topic of the research itself were not included in the review. A total of 346 + 78 (2019 search added) publications was excluded in the Stage 1 Screening. 357 + 132 (2019 search added ...
An Earned Value Management System (EVMS) is a project management tool or method that is widely used and applied in many industries including infrastructure, residential, telecommunications, construction, and oil and gas (Sruthi and Aravindan 2020; Sutrisna et al. 2020; Widiningrum et al. 2020; Demachkieh and Abdul-Malak 2018; Baker 2015; Dinsmore and Cabanis-Brewin 2014; Kim et al. 2003).
possibilities for EVM research before concluding with the limitations of our study. Earned Value Management EVM integrates project scope, time and cost through periodic measurements of actual cost and work completion. It views project progress in terms of cost as a function of time against a firm baseline set up at the start of the project.

The goal of this research is to explore the history, practices, and future of the earned value management (EVM) method in government, and seek opportunities and suggestions for wider implementation of EVM for managing, measuring, and controlling project performance and progress.
EVMS environment is defined in the literature as "the conditions (people, culture, practices, and resources) that enable or limit the ability to manage the project and program using the EVMS, serving as a basis for timely and effective decision-making" (Aramali et al., 2022b, p. 2).It incorporates environment factors that are qualitative and related to project culture, team, resources, and ...
Project management literature provides a tool to manage value of work created during a project, and it does so by integrating the dimensions of cost, schedule and scope. This tool is known as Earned Value Management, or simply EVM (PMI, 2013). Through staffing, procuring, reporting, and the managing of the project itself, EVM overlaps with ...
