| Introduction
This manual is intended for those with a limited background
in WBS and Earned Value
principles, but with a general knowledge of manufacturing
and financial applications. It is not
intended to delve deeply into the theory of Project Management
and Earned Value, since there
are many fine publications that handle that subject matter,
two of which are listed below.
We recommend that the following book be
used in conjunction with this primer:
Earned Value Project Management 2nd Edition
by Quentin W. Fleming and Joel M. Koppelman Copyright 2000
ISBN:1-880410-27-3
Most of the discussion in this primer regarding
Project Management trends is paraphrased from
this book. Other references to Fleming are from this book,
unless otherwise noted.
Also an excellent reference book is another
one written by Quentin Fleming in conjunction with
Humphreys & Associates Inc. Management Consultants:
Put Earned Value (C/SCSC) Into Your Project Management
Control System
by Quentin Fleming and Joel Koppelman Copyright 1983
ISBN: 0-942280-04-0
ISBN: 0-942280-03-2 (pbk.)
Humphreys & Associates Inc. also publish
a useful pocket reference:

Management System
