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

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!!!

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

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!

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.
