Breakfast Briefing:

On Your Toes: Measuring Earned Value in an Agile World

Wednesday, May 11, 2016 • 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. ET
Hyatt Regency Tysons Corner Center

Measuring earned value (EVM) on agile projects has long been a source of frustration for federal contractors. At their core, EVM and the agile methodology appear to be vastly different – one requires a detailed definition of a project’s scope up front, while the other refines requirements over time.

Join Deltek, BDO and CGI Federal for a breakfast briefing on Wednesday, May 11 from 8:00 – 10:30 AM at the Hyatt Regency Tysons Corner Center as we bust the myths surrounding the battle between EVM and agile, and explore how contractors can simplify the measurement process to enhance project success.
