[[earned-value-management]]
|
|
is frequently stated to be capable of
|
|
"measuring project performance and progress
|
|
_in an objective manner_",[^1]
|
|
an analysis that is either optimistic
|
|
or totally misleading, depending on the context.

|
|
EVM can be an objective measure of _progress_,
|
|
but measuring _performance_,
|
|
variance of actual cost/hours versus estimated,
|
|
(obviously) requires an estimate,
|
|
which is subject to bias and error.
