MS Project should make Earned Value Management more accessible

[garrybooker]

I believe Earned Value Management (EVM) can be greatly simplified "for the
masses." Microsoft needs to put a higher priority on making EVM usable on
every project, and understandable by a general audience. It appears to be
something of an "add-on" feature.

Whom can I contact in the MS Project development team to discuss this idea?

Hit me off line, I have a paper on the subject that you may be interested in.
I show you how to get around in EVM the "normal way"
I am not with Microsoft, just a MS Project Abuser (User).

The majority of the issues with EVM in MS Project can be addressed with use
of Physical % Complete and Actual Costs. Doing it this way seems to work
"Normal" for the way most of the world understands EVM.

Jim, i would be intereested in your paper. We are currently looking at using
Physical % Complete but it looks to have some bugs. It does not always update
the EV field when you changes the Physical % Complete
