According to the author’s abstract, “So you want (or need) to implement Earned Value Management (EVM) in your organization? In order to do so, you need to recruit and hire the right people with the right skill set. That skill set can be formulated and expressed in many different terms including (but not limited to) personality, technical knowledge, and analytical capabilities. You post the job, receive a ton of resumes, and then you realize that you are uncertain how to discern between those who claim they know what they’re doing and those who actually can do what you need them to do. How do you pick the right people with the right skill set? This paper discusses one person’s view of the various roles in the world of EVM and how to recruit and retain the right talent.”
