Day 1 of a 2-Day Forum for EVM Practitioners 



The EVM Practitioners’ Forum and Federal Publications Seminars (FPS) are excited to announce the 13th Annual Earned Value Management Practitioners’ (EVMP) Forum. EVM application users organize the EVMP to share best practices and help others become more effective in their use of EVM tools, analysis, and reporting.

This 2-day training workshop is committed to helping attendees improve their personal skills and their organizations' processes for project controls. The Grounds occupy the top two floors of a state-of-the-art building that rises 31 stories above the Potomac River, offering sweeping views of the nation’s capital.
