Default Earned Value Options (Investments)

If your organization uses earned value management methodology for measuring project performance, you can set the project-level default earned value calculation method. Use the fields in the Earned Value section of the scheduling properties page to set the method. You can also use this page to associate your project to an earned value reporting period.

The earned value reporting period defines the frequency and the interval for the Update Earned Value History job. The job takes historical earned value snapshots of performance and saves them in the earned value history table. When using earned value methodologies to analyze project performance, the job uses the earned value reporting period to take the snapshot. It saves the snapshot based on the project association to the period. The project manager associates the project to the appropriate period.
