Learn Earned Value Analysis

product owner

The person who owns the product outcome and is accountable for the final result, guiding priorities and decisions so the product delivers the highest possible value.

Key Points

  • Owns the product vision and aligns it with stakeholder needs and business goals.
  • Orders and refines the product backlog to focus on the highest-value work first.
  • Defines acceptance criteria and accepts or rejects completed work.
  • Provides timely decisions and feedback to the team to minimize delays.

Example

On a project to launch a new mobile banking app, the product owner collaborates with stakeholders to emphasize security and onboarding features for early release. They prioritize user stories in the backlog, clarify acceptance criteria with the team, and at the sprint review accept the increment that meets the defined criteria.

PMP Example Question

During a sprint, a senior stakeholder requests an unplanned feature that could delay the current release. Who should decide whether to include it now or defer it, based on value and impact?

  1. Scrum Master
  2. Product Owner
  3. Development Team
  4. Project Sponsor

Correct Answer: B — Product owner

Explanation: The product owner is accountable for product outcomes and prioritizes the backlog to maximize value, making the call on what to include and when.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
