Make project decisions
Choose resources, manage weekly capacity and authorise overtime where appropriate.
A BRIDGIT AFRICA LEARNING SOLUTION
EVMPROJECT SIMULATOR
Learn EVM by running the project.
Step into the role of Project Manager and experience Earned Value Management through a live 12-week simulation. Make resource decisions, manage costs, monitor delivery and use real EVM metrics to understand how your project is performing.

LEARN BY DOING
EVM makes more sense when the numbers belong to a project you've actually managed.
This is not a page of formulas followed by a quiz. The simulator gives the formulas context.
Your resource and delivery decisions create the project data. You calculate the performance measures, review the results and see what those measures are telling you about the project.
THE SIMULATION
Run it. Measure it. Understand it.
Move through the project week by week and connect project decisions to measurable performance.
Calculate performance
Work through the weekly EVM position using the project information created by the simulation.
Read the signals
Review cost and schedule performance and understand what CPI, SPI and variances are telling you.
Track the project
See performance develop across the full project rather than treating each calculation in isolation.
RUN THE PROJECT
Your decisions create the numbers.
Each project week puts you in control of the team. Decide who works, consider additional capacity, authorise overtime and roll production.
The decisions you make flow into the week's results, giving the EVM calculations a real project context.
- Resource and capacity decisions
- Weekly production and progress
- Cost consequences
- 12-week project progression
CALCULATE THE POSITION
Work through EVM in sequence.
At the end of each week, use the project's actual results to calculate its earned value position. Calculation blocks unlock in sequence, helping you build the performance picture step by step.
Formula guidance is available inside the simulation so the focus stays on understanding how each measure connects to the project.

SEE WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN
Turn calculations into project insight.
The performance dashboard brings cost, schedule and delivery measures together so you can see how the project is evolving across the simulation.
Cost performanceCompare Actual Cost, Planned Value, Earned Value and BAC.
Schedule performanceCompare planned and actual completion and monitor SPI.
ForecastingUse EAC, ETC and VAC to understand where the project may finish.
PERFORMANCE OVER TIME
One week is a result. Twelve weeks tell the story.
Review previous weeks and see how the project's cost and schedule position changes as decisions accumulate.
Team contribution and completed-week performance make it easier to connect operational decisions with the EVM measures that follow.
EVM IN CONTEXT
Practise the measures that describe project performance.
Planned Value
What the project planned to accomplish.
Earned Value
The value of the work actually completed.
Actual Cost
What the completed work has actually cost.
Cost Performance
Understand the project's cost efficiency.
Schedule Performance
Understand progress against the project plan.
Forecast
Use current performance to estimate project outcome.
The simulation also uses cost and schedule variance, ETC, VAC and BAC as the project develops.
