- Issues: Such as assurance, contracts, governance, ethics, private v state, credit crunch, skills, partnering, front-end decision making, education...
- Case studies: Often illustrating techniques and issues but real projects with lessons learned from experience or synthesized into research findings
Testimonies from the field
These are 45min workshops intended to introduce and develop new and emerging practices and techniques to improve program management using Earned Value. These slots are not intended to provide EV training.
