On today's projects, time is the dominant priority. Project Managers need techniques for quickly and accurately assessing schedule performance. While Earned Value works well to measure cost performance, it breaks down on schedule performance. A recent theoretical breakthrough, called Earned Schedule, corrects the problem. Practical application of the theory enables us to quantitatively assess and predict schedule performance on our projects.
