Abstract

Purpose

Earned value management systems (EVMS), also called integrated project and program management systems, have been greatly examined in the literature, which has typically focused on their technical aspects rather than social. This study aims to hypothesize that improving both the technical maturity of EVMS and the social environment elements of EVMS applications together will significantly impact project performance outcomes. For the first time, empirical evidence supports a strong relationship between EVMS maturity and environment.

Design/methodology/approach

Data was collected from 35 projects through four workshops, attended by 31 industry practitioners with an average of 19 years of EVMS experience. These experts, representing 23 organizations, provided over 2,800 data points on sociotechnical integration and performance outcomes, covering projects totaling $21.8 billion. Statistical analyses were performed to derive findings on the impact of technical maturity and social environment on project success.

Findings

The results show statistically significant differences in cost growth, compliance, meeting project objectives and business drivers and customer satisfaction, between projects with high EVMS maturity and environment and projects with poor EVMS maturity and environment. Moreover, the technical and social dimensions were found to be significantly correlated.

Originality/value

Key contributions include a novel and tested performance-driven framework to support integrated project management using EVMS. The adoption of this detailed assessment framework by government and industry is driving a paradigm shift in project management of some of the largest and most complex projects in the U.S.; specifically transitioning from a project assessment based upon a binary approach for EVMS technical maturity (i.e. compliant/noncompliant to standards) to a wide-ranging scale (i.e. 0–1,000) across two dimensions.

提高项目成功率:社会技术整合对使用挣值管理系统进行项目和计划管理的影响
目的挣值管理系统(EVMS),又称综合项目和计划管理系统,文献中对其进行了大量研究,通常侧重于其技术方面而非社会方面。本研究旨在假设,同时提高 EVMS 的技术成熟度和 EVMS 应用的社会环境要素,将对项目绩效结果产生显著影响。设计/方法/方法通过四次研讨会从 35 个项目中收集数据,31 名平均拥有 19 年 EVMS 经验的行业从业人员参加了研讨会。这些专家代表 23 个组织,提供了超过 2,800 个有关社会技术整合和绩效成果的数据点,涉及项目总金额达 218 亿美元。结果表明,在成本增长、合规性、满足项目目标和业务驱动力以及客户满意度方面,EVMS 成熟度高、环境好的项目与 EVMS 成熟度低、环境差的项目之间存在显著的统计学差异。此外,还发现技术和社会维度之间存在明显的相关性。 原创性/价值主要贡献包括一个新颖且经过测试的绩效驱动框架,用于支持使用 EVMS 进行综合项目管理。政府和行业采用这一详细的评估框架,推动了美国一些最大、最复杂项目的项目管理模式的转变;特别是从基于 EVMS 技术成熟度二元方法(即符合/不符合标准)的项目评估过渡到两个维度的大范围量表(即 0-1000)。
