- The decision was made by JMP management that a certain critical development in the overall project will be subcontracted-out to a vendor. JMP has issued a six-month cost plus fixed fee contract for that development, and you are the vendor's project manager. The approved JMP budget for your development is $500,000. A recent Earned Value Analysis that your firm (the vendor) has done shows that you will complete the project four weeks ahead of time, thus depriving your firm of $80,000 of billable time. Among your options are: 1. Since it was the approved budget, go ahead and bill JMP for the entire $500.000. 2. Inform JMP of the project status and completion date, and ask if they'd like to add any features to account for the monies spent. 3. Inform JMP of the project status and completion date. 4. Bill JMP for the $500,000 by adding more work at the end of the project.arrow_forwardEarned Value Management (EVM) is a method or an approach in measuring the project performance throughout the project at any point of time that integrates the variances of cost and schedule in assisting organizations to decide either to continue or terminate the project.
