Abstract

Budget overruns and work delays are recurring issues in the construction business. Construction projects are seen as interconnected nodes in larger organizational networks, driving a surge in research interest in construction project management (CPM). Earned value management (EVM) is a widely used project management (PM) approach that provides early warning of potential problems and helps control costs and schedules. This study aims to analyze EVM articles to determine the field’s current state and identify promising avenues for further investigation.

Key words: Earned value management, construction project, cost and time, performance
