Project Metrics play a key and quantitative role in managing projects and their progress. This is especially true if you seek project manager jobs in many government agencies. Additionally, project metrics are core to the PMP exam- and for those of you that have these certification aspirations.
For this discussion question, I would like you to describe IN YOUR OWN WORDS how earned value (EV) can be used as a tool for communicating the progress of your projects.
Additionally, provide an example of how SPI or CPI can be used by project managers to provide meaningful information to the project team and project sponsors.
