WPM 204 - Earned Value/Budgeting

Course unit(s): 1
The goal of this course is to help students learn the methods used to financially plan and account for a project, how to determine the value of the project at any point in time, how to create a budget for any project, and understand ethics with regards to GAAP reporting and transparency within project financial statements. It is crucial for an organization to know the economic value of the projects it pursues and the effect that value has on the bottom line of the organization. Once underway, the value the project has created for the organization and the remaining financial obligation the organization has to the project are necessary elements for financial planning.
