Inside the book

25 chapters. 8 parts.
One complete performance manual.

Earned value the way it works inside Primavera P6 — then Earned Schedule and path-based Earned Time Management, with every method worked on six fictional sandbox projects. No theory without application.

EVM IN P6

Foundations & the Performance Baseline

Control accounts, cost loading, earning rules, the right P6 columns — and the formulas the internet gets wrong.

COST PERFORMANCE

Forecasts & Variances That Lead to Action

EAC ranges, TCPI, and variance analysis reports (VARs) written to trigger decisions, not decorate status meetings.

TIME-BASED PERFORMANCE

Earned Schedule & Earned Time Management

Why cost SPI drifts to 1.0 on late projects — and ETM measured by task, lag, subnet and path, with forecasts and float erosion.

RISK & QUALITY

Risk-Adjusted Forecasts & Data You Can Trust

Monte Carlo calibrated with SPI(ETM), plus the DCMA, BEI and out-of-sequence checks that expose green numbers built on a broken schedule.

DASHBOARDS, AI & TOOLS

Executive Dashboards & AI in Project Controls

Executive dashboards with full DAX measures for Power BI and Tableau, and AI workflows with a prompt library and guardrails.

PLAYBOOKS & PRACTICE

Industry Playbooks, Templates & Workbenches

Playbooks for data centers, federal buildings, rail, aviation, water and IT — plus a formula sheet, glossary, four templates and two practice workbenches with a full answer key.

Buyer bonuses: variance analysis report (VAR) template (Word) and ETM path worksheet (Excel, with formulas) — included free with the full edition.
