This article explains the concept of earned value for tracking progress in software projects. It discusses the benefits and limitations of earned value. The earned value approach deserves more attention from the software development community in contexts where planning and estimation is part of the culture. The presence of a point of reference against which to compare progress introduces additional metrics that better known techniques do not incorporate. Although these additional metrics are not applicable when plans and estimates are absent, earned value can still be used with proper adaptations.
