This is, therefore, very instrumental in seeing to it that projects are completed within the stipulated periods and within the appropriate budget, hence a very indispensable tool for any project managers across different sectors.
Whether it's Project Managers, Program Managers, or Financial Analysts—everyone, at the very least, with EVM in their head, wants to make the most of Project Execution and financial performance.
