Ms Holly
Beckstrom, Information Technology Specialist at the Office of the Chief
Information Officer (OCIO) at the United States Department of Agriculture
described her EVMP® experience as, "Currently, I write, review, and update
federal division, information technology (IT) policy and procedures.
After taking the EVMI® EVMP® credential certification program, my products
more effectively cross reference EVM attributes such as; budget, risk
management, IT architecture, and continuous monitoring. I am very grateful
for the opportunity to learn and better understand EVM. The EVMP® knowledge
allows me to more effectively incorporate the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) fiscal requirements into the Information Technology lifecycle.
I am now more able to link the new Joint Initiative requirements of the
National Information Science and Technology (NIST) Special Publications,
such as converting processes from Certification and Accreditation (C&A) to
Risk Management Framework (RMF) tasks using EVM
techniques to minimize the effects on the agencies while maximizing on the
Federal Information Systems Management Act (FISMA) results that are annually
reported to Congress." "Before the EVMP® course there was a “fog” in my
thought process between the budget and the final desired product. The EVMP®
course has cleared that fog for me. I am completely confident to use the
EVMP® tools and implement EVM into division policy. I am able to participate
in discussions and planning sessions that involve projections of possible
outcomes and desired results that include realistic budget estimates and
scope creep precautions."
“Lots of hard work. EVMI®
is a very focused and professional organization. The practical work and case studies were not only
relevant but they expanded my knowledge base and opened new dimensions of
basic understanding." "
Come prepared to
work day and night. This EVMP®
Earned Value Management Professional® certification is one you will earn and be proud of. Study everything you
can"
"Previously I served 9 years on active
duty and have attended several civilian education and training courses
since. The EVMP® course is presented in a way that integrates the target
knowledge into each participant’s current working knowledge base. There are
plenty of hands-on, practical exercises with immediate feedback. The
classroom discussions create information sharing between subject matter
experts (SME). There are also opportunities to form study groups and the
instructor is available before and after training sessions for as long as is
needed/productive. It is truly possible to take away as much knowledge
as you can possibly absorb. Concerning presentation, content, and instructor
competence [Mr. Kwaku Akyeampong, EVMI®
President was my instructor]; EVMI® is far ahead of the rest and sets a new standard of
excellence"."The most valuable aspects of the EVMP® course for me
are the: The Stakeholder Matrix - Managing Stakeholders; EVMATOM™
Matrix
for tracking and managing project tasks; and most valuable, the lifetime
relationship established with EVMI® for onsite visits, and future mentoring.
EVM implementation seems nearly instinctive to me now."
Ms. Nathalie Behn described her EVMP® credential certification
experience as, “The
5-day EVMP® credential certification course truly exceeded my
expectations. I have taken many other Project Management classes in
the past and none of them were as hands-on as this one. This course
was crisp and directly to the point, and,
surprisingly constantly kept my attention
all along.”
“Unfortunately, I have attended many Project Management courses
to obtain Professional Development Units (PDUs) where I truly thought
that those classes was a waste of time and money and I really didn’t learn
anything useful to apply to my daily work. Not this course!! The at-home
exercises and the constant request to apply the covered material truly
helped me to understand and most importantly “apply” the EVM thinking and
strategies. Now, back at work, I can better apply the EVM methods that I
have learned and can teach my team members the importance of EVM and hope to
implement the ANSI EIA-748-B into my current company (or at least get them
prepared for it).”
“Thanks to my course instructor, Mr. Kwaku Akyeampong, I feel
extremely confident that I am able to apply EVM to any company and
successfully lead them and teach/train them to develop an EVMS compliance
program as well as apply the ANSI EIA 748-B compliance standards and follow
the best practices to succeed in any project. With the EVM tools and
knowledge learned in this course, I have deepened my knowledge of the
importance of critical thinking, being a leader and making decisions (even
after things have gone wrong, and in every project, unknown things just do
happen). The importance of including EVM strategies from the get go
were underscored, and most importantly, for me is to face the risks of
any projects and deal with them in a proper matter.”
“I have managed many projects ranging from
$100k to $60M, totalingover
$250M in value over the past 5 years. One of the
key factors required to successfully execute any project is to include
all your team members early in the process, and hold all your
Control Account Managers (CAMs) responsible. At that point, no unsolvable
problems should surprise you and anything can be addressed, mitigated and
resolved. EVM thinking starts already in the proposal phase. With the
“tools” I have been provided throughout this EVMP® credential
certification class, I am much more prepared to conquer any project
and problem at this time. This EVMP® class boosted my Project
Management professionalism and it really was a pleasure to attend.
I am excited to apply EVM in the future, since this is truly what takes
the “blurry” out of my clear crystal ball I wish to have as a Project
Manager.”

As
Vice President in charge of Gunnison’s Health Information Systems
Division, Ms. Hillard and her Team have been supporting Westat in their most
ambitious health related research projects (such as the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey, which is one of the largest and most complex
surveys that collects data on our nation’s health) for almost 15 years. Ms.
Hillard is a Senior Technology Specialist and
Program Manager with more than
25 years of successful experience in designing, developing, and managing
large-scale system integration and development programs.
Ms. Hillard described her EVMP® experience as, “After successfully budgeting
and estimating large systems integration, development and business process
re-engineering projects for many years, I did not think I would gain much
from the EVMP® class, but since many contracts are now coming out with EVM
as a requirement, I felt compelled to take the class. I had assumed
that the class would focus on how to generate the required reports but it
was an extremely comprehensive
and well presented overview of program management, risk management, quality
management, how to ensure your processes and systems are EVM compliant as
well as the technical aspects of how to schedule activities, budget to those
activities, and ensure your projects are on schedule and within budget.”
“We have recently undergone a CMMI business process improvement initiative to
standardize some of our processes and procedures. By incorporating
EVM into these processes, it will help us to monitor and control each of
our tasks in a more standardized way and to ensure quality in all our
products and services”

Mr.
Jim Gibbons, EVMP®, PMP®, ITIL®, CTT+
Program Analyst at Systems Made Simple (SMS),
Syracuse, NY, USA
As a
Program Analyst assigned to a Federal Civilian Agency in
Washington DC, my primary duties are centered on the development of IT
Program Management policies, standards and governance through the conduct of
Program Management (Focused) Reviews, Milestone Reviews, Operational
Analysis, and monitoring compliance with cost, schedule, and performance
goals (EVM) for major IT initiatives.
Mr. Gibbons described his EVMP® experience,
"As
a result of attaining the EVMP® certification from EVMI®, I was able to
immediately apply direct knowledge and EVM planning considerations in my
role as a key team member on an ANSI-EIA-748-B EVMS Compliance program, as well as
an overarching Integrated Program Management initiative here at the
Department. In the course of developing of a standardized WBS for use in
an IMP/IMS model, we were able to clearly articulate and emphasize the
critical importance of planning for, and embedding EVM strategies and
practicesearly in the planning and scheduling
processes."
"The skills and
knowledge gained through my EVMP® certification training were instrumental
to our team’s development of an EVMS compliance program. Our
implementation plan was augmented with an EVMS Compliance Toolkit containing
SOP’s, self-assessment checklists and a CER handbook, as well as process
validation and testing procedures. We elected to demonstrate EVMS compliance
on a target program and validate the processes necessary to achieve EVMS
compliance during this demonstration. The end goal to set in place an EVMS
compliance program with repeatable processes that can be instituted by all
Exhibit 300 Programs in order to achieve EVMS compliance."
My EVMP® training experience and EVMI®’s
focus on the
management concepts related to Earned Value, rather than simply the
mathematical mechanics helped us to detail a plan to transform the
practice from a mandated series of reports, beyond an early warning system,
and into an executable program management mindset and
technique”

"After receiving my EVMP® certification, I learned to address any
variances and program problems before they escalate into something
major. I learned how to bring the program's problems to meetings to
brainstorm a resolution. In addition, I learned that to run a
program successfully, you have to allocate the program's
responsibility
down to the CAMs and across to team members. I also gained
more insight on how to calculate program variances and mitigate program
risks; and that allocating the responsibility to the CAMs will
make the program run smoother.”

Account Manager all the way to executive level managers.
Further, as you emphasized during the course, senior management support and
the integration of EVM with other management controls, such as Risk
Management, Configuration Management, Schedule Management, Engineering
Management, and Quality Management are essential elements of effective
project management. With strong management support and the
integration of these controls the project manager’s chances for managing
costs, schedules, and delivering a quality product are greatly improved.

"The
SENTINEL Program is a state-of-the-art, enterprise-wide level program
that will replace several current legacy systems. It will
institute new workflow and business processes for all FBI employees,
and establish critical infrastructure components for future IT
development." "I have over 15 years experience in Project Management and
in Earned Value Management and was pleasantly surprised and
enjoyed the course and exercises that I participated in while attaining
the EVMP® certification. My job primarily is to advise PMO on
the contractor’s EVM reports, processes, and policies, to write program EVMS
reports, to respond to several oversight groups, and to make sure that
SENTINEL remains ANSI 748B compliant."
Mr. Reynolds described his EVMP®
experience,
"The
EVMP® certification program, with absolute certainty gave me valuable
knowledge and confidence as a leader and practitioner of EVM that I can to
do all these things better. When I speak on aspects of EVM, I am
reflecting EVM best practices, and its highest standards. I feel an
even greater degree of professionalism, and an amazing degree of
foresight in seeing beforehand the many challenges and obstacles that
affect so many software development efforts, and may help put things in
place to reduce,avoid and mitigate some of those perceived risks."
"My Program Manager once said
to me that he wanted an EVMS program that was on steroids. The
SENTINEL program with very few exceptions is a textbook EVM system. An
individual new to EVM looked through the course book and Project Management
book and remarked that we really do follow the books. We remarked that
EVM must not just be theory but something you practice. Our EVM system
is well integrated with other aspects of the SENTINEL including Financial,
Requirements, Technical, Quality, and Risk. Even so the EVMP®
certification program has fostered some process improvement in several
areas."

“In over 22 years of engineering/manufacturing support I have had the
opportunity to witness good and bad examples of project management on project
sizes ranging from micro electronics to jumbo commercial aircraft.
Effective project management is the key to successful completion for projects of
any size and complexity. The Earned Value Management Institute® (EVMI®)
provides training in the area of program management that utilizes real world
examples and experiences in a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable manner.”
“Currently the projects our company completes are small and the budgeting is
handled at the contract level, not the project level. The principles of
EVMP® have been implemented and already there have been improvements in on time
delivery of goods to our customer. All projects were monitored on a
time scale however the method used before was in depth and time consuming taking
time away from other priorities. The principles of the Earned Value
Management Institute® make program tracking a simple and hassle free task"
“I have experienced other styles of program management such as TQMS.
The training staff was not driven to see the students succeed as it was with
EVMI®. This is training that will be valuable both personally and to our
company as we move ahead with government contracts in the electronics industry.”
