Practice

A distinct professional or managerial action that helps carry out a process and may rely on one or more tools and techniques.

Key Points

  • A practice is an activity, not an entire process or methodology.
  • It supports the execution and outcomes of a defined process.
  • It can combine multiple tools and techniques as needed.
  • It is repeatable and can be tailored to the project context.

Example

Holding a weekly risk review meeting where the team updates the risk register, applies a probability-impact assessment, and plans risk responses is a practice that supports the Risk Management processes.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
