The Earned Value Management (EVM) method is a tool that integrates three critical elements of project management: scope management, cost management, time management. EVM is traditi onally used to monitor and control the project performance by using cost and schedule indices. EVM is widely used to forecast project cost and time at completion. However, the application of EVM is limited due to poor accuracy in forecasting cost and sched ule performance. Conventional EVM has inability to address the uncertainties as well as their causes and effects. Recently, many EVM - based cost and schedule performance forecasting methods were introduced by many researchers. This study describes the major aspects of EVM and useful statistical techniques to enhance the effective application of EVM in project management. Further it includes the overview of a statistical approach to refine and improve the performance of conventional EVM by introduction of Wei bull Analysis. This can be used in addition with EVM to give probabilistic approach to evaluate cost and schedule performance in construction projecten-USStaff Publication - SoETStaff Publication - CEStudent Publication - CEMArticle
