Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I know exactly how to calculate and what does it mean EV (earned value) and AC (actual cost).

 But I'm a little confused about VOWD (value of the work done).
So, I would like to know if you can share with me some online informations where I can see exactly what does it mean each one.

VoWD is equal to AC? or rather VoWD is equal to EV?

Thank you!

I have seen different definitions of VOWD, but the most common one is VOWD = invoices paid + accrual, which is basically the same as actual cost

Greetings,

here is an article about the Earned Value method and how to use/interpret its' results.

https://www.google.ro/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CE4QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fyadda.icm.edu.pl%2Fbaztech%2Felement%2Fbwmeta1.element.baztech-article-BPL6-0014-0070%2Fc%2Fhttpwibis_pollub_plfilesplikikonferencje32.pdf&ei=b33jUcLRNpP34QTgvYCgDA&usg=AFQjCNHMBSQUqcRgHqf51eh7TXoAHo-2iA&bvm=bv.48705608,d.bGE&cad=rja

I think all planning software packages have integrated Earned Value analysis, most of them have only Earned Value analysis. 

Best Regrads,
