NUEVA METODOLOGÍA DE ESTIMACIÓN DE LA DURACIÓN DEL PROYECTO EN BASE A MÉTRICA DE VALOR GANADO

Abstract

Earned value project management is a well-known management system that integrates cost, schedule and technical performance. It allows the calculation of cost and schedule variances and performance indices and forecasts of project cost and schedule duration. The earned value method provides early indications of project performance to highlight the need for eventual corrective action. Earned value management was originally developed for cost management and has not widely been used for forecasting project duration. However, recent research trends show an increase of interest to use performance indicators for predicting total project duration. In this paper, we give a new approximation to forecast total project duration and illustrate the use of the method on a simple example project.
