    Earned value is a tool used for measuring project performance but it may not be suitable for every situation. While earned value is effective for measuring tangible outcomes like quantity, quality, and availability, it is less effective for intangible work like requirements definition, verification and validation, and various types of services. The presenters questioned whether earned value is always the right tool given that different projects require different metrics for measuring success.
