Abstract

This chapter serves as an integrative summary research study relying on the results obtained from the three previous simulation studies discussed in this book so far. More precisely, a bottom-up and a top-down project tracking approach within a corrective action framework is compared and general summary conclusions are presented. The top-down tracking approach relies on a traditional Earned Value Management (EVM) system investigated in detail in chapter 4, while the bottom-up tracking mechanism makes use of the well-known Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) method discussed in chapter 5
