| Time | An accurate time estimation is a skill essential for good project management. The time estimation drives the setting of the deadline for the deliverables and the planning process of the project. Furthermore, in this step a WBS dictionary is created. The WBS dictionary includes entries for each WBS component that briefly defines the scope or the statement of the work (SOW) which is a document that defines project- specific activities, deliverables and timelines. Furthermore, the SOW typically also includes detailed requirements and pricing. | |

EVM is a project management technique for measuring the project performance and progress. EVM has the ability to combine measurements of the project management triangle which includes scope, time and costs.
