We all have a war story about the boss who just couldn’t help themselves and needed to touch every process and nook and cranny of the project.  This behavior puts employees in CYA mode and crushes creativity and calculated risk taking.  Whether micro-managing is a control issue, delegation gone wrong or just a lack of operations training, fear not, the remedy is close at hand.  Management by Exception (MBE) is a practice that uses preemptive techniques to pin-point which areas of the project or product development needs attention.

Based on my experience working with hundreds of teams compelled to use EVMS to bid large scale defense contracts, I’ve become a fan. EVMS or Earned Value Management System is the most comprehensive trend analysis technique available for managing programs and projects. By using trend data, EVM, aka performance measures are proven to successfully forecast cost or schedule overruns in the early stages of an endeavor. Whether by government contractual requirement or by preference, these tools provide invaluable benefits for understanding how programs or projects are progressing in relation to the original funding or product scope.
