Project Management: Control using the Earned Value and Risk

Politecnico di Milano focuses on evaluating a project after its initial plan is in place. Performance indicators and risk approaches support decisions about control, replanning and closure. It suits learners who want to interpret project status and understand when a change is justified.

What you will learn

• Interpret indicators used to control a project.
• Apply earned-value and risk concepts.
• Connect status information with replanning decisions.

Who this suits

Learners reviewing project control; the provider recommends its earlier planning and lifecycle courses, although they are not compulsory.

Before you enroll

Allow time to create and review project documents, beyond the lesson videos. A course completion certificate is separate from a professional certification exam. Adapt the methods to your project’s size, delivery approach and constraints rather than copying every template unchanged.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Review a fictional project’s planned and actual progress, then explain which indicators justify investigating the schedule or revising the plan.
