Craig – Thanks for the comment.

Burn down charts are an excellent tool for this type of work…I prefer them over more formal & involved tools.

Of course EVM presumes the work you have planned delivers value evenly over time. This would be a contentious point.

For example, I would say planning time is worth more than doing time in an hour for hour comparison.

Another tool in this space is the burn down chart, which I think makes more sense for IT and process improvement projects.
