Track D: Techniques, Tools and Trends
|
| 1:30 | Understanding Earned Value in Under an Hour; From WBS to Performance Measurement Baseline.
Earned Value (EV) is a performance tool that is well accepted throughout the government. Today more and more corporations are embracing this valuable project reporting tool. EV allows for a three dimensional view of project technical, cost, and scheduled performance. Traditional evaluations only looked at variance between plan costs and actual costs. EV integrates the schedule and the budget and the work that has been performed to date to provide an informative picture of project performance. This presentation will enlighten you to the potential of this increasingly utilized tool. See how easily it can be understood!

| 3:45 | Creating an Outsourcing Process
It is common practice for small pharmaceutical companies, in the course of fast paced program development, to outsource services for which they have limited internal capacity to address. Until recently these services were solicited and obtained by various positions within the company's Clinical Development department, which was inefficient and resulted in inconsistencies from lack of a centralized process. During this session you will learn how to improve the process and increase efficiency and consistency in obtaining outsourcing
