For this milestone, you will explain the use of the EVM and interpret the EVM statistics, discuss the role of EVM principles in achieving integrated cost and schedule control, and make appropriate recommendations for improving the integrated cost and schedule control for the case study.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Interpretation of EVM Statistics
   1. Explain the use of EVM statistics for identifying potential project performance deficiencies.
   2. Interpret the EVM statistics calculated for the project in the case study in terms of current or potential deficiencies. Do the statistics imply or identify any deficiencies? If so, what are they? Be sure to support your reasoning with research.
   3. Discuss the role of EVM principles in achieving integrated cost and schedule control. Be sure to substantiate your claims with research.
   4. Interpret the EVM statistics calculated for the project in the case study. Do they lend themselves to the successful integration of cost and schedule control for this project? Be sure to cite research to justify your position.
   5. Make appropriate recommendations for improving integrated cost and schedule control for the project in the case study. Be sure to use research to justify your recommendations.
