EVMP®s Halt Project Cost Overruns: EVMI® President, Kwaku Akyeampong

[kaakyeampong]

EVMI® marks a significant milestone today: A year ago, on 05.13.2009, at the National Press Club, I called for ending cost overruns and schedule delays on our projects and programs globally. Thousands of you have viewed this video and have sent me inspiring messages encouraging EVMI® to continue to spearhead this effort. Let's get EVMP® trained and certified, and deliver top quality projects on time and within budget.

The US Government's Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) has approved the EVMP® global credential for the FAC-P/PM certification for US Federal Government project and program managers. (Eight EVMI® programs have been approved by FAI and all received a highest rating of 5). EVMP® testimonials are posted online at Earned Value Management Institute®'s website

Just completed the EVMP® credential program training. This is the best certification program on earned value, it's very hands-on, and covers everything on how to implement earned value effectively on a project. -- BJ276

Yes, I agree that all our stimulus projects must implement earned value management (EVM) which is such a powerful tool. Great job and video!! Love it.

I finally completed the EVMP® credential certification program last week. The instructor, Kwaku, is the best instructor in the twenty years that I have had training in project management and EVM. I learned so many new things about how to effectively implement EVM on projects. I will definitely apply my new found skills and knowledge on the stimulus projects that I will be working on. Congratulations, Earned Value Management Institute, we are spreading the word and keep up the good work!

WOW. This guy is awesome, intelligent and very smart. I agree with Kwaki. we can not afford to run our stimulus projects like our national budgets. America needs to listen. his russian is also excellent. i am very happy that our country is including minorities in everything now and this speaks very well of us. i give this clip ten stars. this is awesome!!!

[marycunningham22]

I have taken a class with Kwaku and he is really awesome. I think he is one of the most knowledgeable experts on earned value management in industry today. I am happy the Earned Value Management Institute chose him as President. I plan to take the EVMP credential certification over the summer. on the presentation, I recommend that the russian be translated in english at the bottom of the screen so we can understand also, not all of us speak russian. -- four and a half stars

It is nice to find immigrants get involved in making this country better. this is truly the land of immigrants where everyone has a shot. wishing the earned value management institute organization the best. very impressive. i agree let's make the stimulus work. Kwaku, with your russian language skills you can also make a great actor. Good luck

I agree 100% with Kwaku. We must place management controls such as earned value management systems, and other controls to provide oversight and tracking of the status of our stimulus projects. I have applied earned value management on my projects and it has great value identifying problem areas and reducing risk. I have checked out the EVMP credential and also plan to take it this summer.
