Наукометрический анализ литературы по мониторингу проектов

Аннотация

Earned Value Management (EVM) is an approach used to measure and analyze the schedule and
cost performance of projects. This study reviews the progress of academic knowledge in EVM by conducting
a scientometric analysis of the field and aims to provide an overview of the current state of
research and main trends. The research methodology comprises a 4-step framework: search, appraisal,
synthesis, and analysis. The science mapping software CiteSpace® and VOSViewer® were used to
construct and visualize scientometric maps. The findings show that the EVM literature has grown and
become popular in the last decade. The findings also suggest that the studies shifted their focus from
simple EVM applications to the ones proposing advanced models, mostly for time and cost forecasting,
under uncertainty. The paper summarizes and discusses the main findings from the literature and
highlights the perspectives for future research in the field. The findings of the study will be helpful to
project managers to get necessary insights regarding the management of their projects by the EVM
technique.
Key words: scientometrics, Project Management, project monitoring, Earned Value Management.
