Speechless, I thought I was ready for exam. This video really gave me a wake up call but I am glad that Aileen sent this link to all the subscribers for free. I will definitely recommend to all the PMP aspirants to make most of this 34 mins 25 seconds video. Aileen Ellis, thank you ever so much for this video. Kind regards, Khalil Rahman

[@AileenEllisPMPPgMP]

So glad the video helped you. I believe that earned value management interpretation questions are actually harder for most people than the earned value math questions. Aileen

[@mr.g8611]

Wake up call for me too, but grateful to have found this. Aileen makes it so simple and easy to understand. I need to watch the video again and others also!

[@eniolaodugbesan866]

[@nyaneece]

Thanks so much for this video! This is the best breakdown I've reviewed thus far

[@anitak1977]

Aileen, this video is by far one of the best PMP videos I have watched. I love the way you explain the material; simple and to the point. I found your last week webinar on Stakeholder & Communication Management very useful too. Well done and thank you again!

[@SB-zv7ro]

Taking the PMP tomorrow. Came on KZbin for some last minute tips and tricks and came across this video. Wish I had been watching Aileen the whole time! Great video. Will be back if I don't pass LOL

[@AileenEllisPMPPgMP]

Good luck. I have lots of videos that can help you. Hope you pass. If you don't, email me at [e-mail]

[@robbinsdk]

I really like how you break down the questions on whether the ask is about cost or schedule and to keep it simple, is it good or bad and to look for key words to determine ETC and the TCPI ( >1 is harder to achieve and

You are an amazing teacher!! I read so much on this topic to no avail. I watched your video and I feel so confident on this topic. God bless you!!! Many thanks!!!

[@candicebessette2536]

These questions could trip me up for sure. I am so glad to have this video helping us to breakdown what the questions are asking about cost or schedule and then explaining each answer helped me so. Thank you again.

[@AileenEllisPMPPgMP]

I really expect that most of your earned value questions on this exam will include no math. We need to really understand earned value.... not memorize equations.

[@hezekiahpedro6596]

I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@ctaa03]

Aileen, thank you so very very much for making these videos. I passed my CAPM exam today - above target in all areas! This video and memorizing the outputs and TTs were most helpful for me. Thank you so very much again.

[@AileenEllisPMPPgMP]

[@PMPwithRay]

Very simplistic way of explaining the concepts. Thanks for the video Aileen.

[@AileenEllisPMPPgMP]

You're very welcome!

[@candicebessette2568]

Thank you Aileen this is an excellent perspective on Earned Value Analysis and thinking simplistically for no math questions. Really reading the questions and asking yourself the questions; "what are we talking about here, schedule or cost?" etc. So thank you again.

[@AileenEllisPMPPgMP]

Thank you. I think we make earned value all about math........and the math is just one small element of Earned Value.

[@camerowmetcair8458]

Thank you for this instruction keeping it simple and not complicated. it can be daunting in the beginning all the maths and % etc. Added to my notes for memory and mock exams Ill following your channel now

[@SolaAbiona]

Thanks so much for this video. It is very useful and insightful. Can you look at your answer at 10:20. I'm not sure how that is schedule and not cost. Again thanks for this good work. God bless you Aileen

[@femiakintan8829]

[@croudcircle962]

Hi Aileen, thank you for this wonderful video! I have a question though. At 7:00 you said that this sentence "You have spent $ 500 more than you planned to spend as of today" relates to schedule variance. And then, at 15:35, you said that this sentence "You have spent $ 500 more than you planned to spend as of today" relates to cost. I fail to understand the difference. Please advise.

[@vc5074]

One(7.00) is Schedule and other(15:35) is cost. At 7.00,it talks about schedule(not cost. May be the answer in C at 7.00) can be rephrased as " There is $500 worth of additional work that needs to be done as of today". If you replace t question with cost variance then the answer would be " The project is $500 over the budget " since it in negative.

good video , however: i want to know which of the EAC equations to use in PMP exam, my exam is next thursday. I get confused on which one to use : 1- EAC = BAC/CPI 2- EAC = AC + (BAC-EV) 3- EAC = AC + ((BAC - EV /SPI*CPI)) Need help to understand which one to use , in another words how to interpret the question? Pls help

[@erinwu1109]

My understanding is you use the formulas based on the respective conditions 1. If the CPI remained the same thru the rest of the project 2. If CPI will change or is expected to continue at the budgeted rate 3. If both CPI and SPI are unchanged Hope you got thru! My exam is tomorrow! :)

[@yongeugenegwain7558]

cost The cost variance (cv) is $500 what does this mean A the project is ahead of schedule B the project is $500 over budget C the project is $500 under Budget D the project is behind schedule

[@heybruh3274]

Dealing with COST so answers "A" and "D" can be eliminated quickly since they deal with schedule. So, a CV> $0 means you are under budget. The correct answer is "C".

[@jacktrader1973]

I really like your videos but it’s confusing when You say “as of today” in your definition for CV and CPI but when it comes to MCQ questions you say that today refers to schedule.

[@ashibhargava]

The key word is "planned" and "spend". But yes that question is confusing 500$ spent in CV
