Discussion Post
During the past 70 years, the standards for practicing earned value have matured into a very well-defined set of expectations. These practice standards are codified in the 32 criteria defined by the EIA-748D guidelines. The 32 criteria are grouped into the following 5 areas:
• Organization
• Planning, Scheduling, and Budgeting
• Accounting Considerations
• Analysis and Management Reports
• Revisions and Data Maintenance
Address 1 or more of the following themes in your Discussion Board posting. Discuss and defend your answer.
a) Are some criteria more important than others? If so, which criteria are the most important?
b) Does the practice of earned value management become an end unto itself that detracts from other critical program management practices?
c) Are any elements missing that ought to be included in the EIA-748D criteria?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
