earned schedule

Earned Schedule is a project management method that measures how closely a project's progress aligns with its planned schedule. Unlike traditional methods that only evaluate work completed in terms of cost or raw hours, Earned Schedule looks at the time-based aspect, estimating whether the project is ahead or behind schedule in terms of days. It provides a clearer picture of schedule performance, helping managers identify delays early and take corrective actions. Essentially, it translates progress into a schedule timeline, enhancing the ability to manage deadlines effectively and ensuring that projects stay on track.
