  Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:<\/p>\n

  3. Summarize the resource changes of your project, and discuss the performance results of your project.<\/p>\n

  4. Determine one (1) performance measurement baseline for your MS Project. Justify your response.<\/p>\n

  5. Apply earned value analysis (EVA) in order to forecast future cost issues. Justify your response. <\/p>\n

  Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.<\/li>\n

    \n
    • Appraise the process of determining the cost and relevant budget required for a project component.<\/li>\n
    • Analyze quality assurance processes in project management.<\/li>\n
    • Use technology and information resources to research issues in project estimating and budgeting.<\/li>\n
    • Write clearly and concisely about project estimating and budgeting using proper writing mechanics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
