The objective of this study is to demonstrate that deliberate schedules to guide the implementation of engineering research can be calculated and controlled through EVM techniques. First, the study will explain the main concepts and equationsused to verify the progress of the research andto calculate performance indexes. It will mathematicallydemonstrate that the monetary value obtainedfromcalculating the difference between the Earned Value (EV) and Planned Value (PV) provides a Schedule Variance (SV) that is not easilyevident. In addition, the study will demonstrate that calculating a monetary value using the difference between EV and Actual Cost (AC) provides a more evident metric, referred to as Cost Variance (CV). ER -
