This paper examines the Earned Value Management (EVM)
practices in Turkey. The authors identify the factors affecting the awareness
and implementation of the methodology and derive implications for its future
use. A comprehensive questionnaire was designed and semi structured interviews
were conducted with experienced managers from several industries. This study is
original in the sense that it brings an in depth analysis on the factors
affecting the acceptance and frequency of use of EVM in Turkey. The authors
report that the industry, project management experience, role in projects and
the use of project management software are the factors that affect EVM
awareness. Regarding the implementation, the authors observe that respondents
who work in defense and production sectors are more likely to use EVM.
Companies that are using lump-sum and unit price projects are more likely to
use EVM while companies that are using in-house projects are less likely.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Kazanılmış Değer Yönetimi Uygulamaları ve Geleceği: Türkiye Örneği

Öz

Bu makale, Türkiye'de Kazanılmış
Değer Yönetimi (KDY) uygulamalarını incelemektedir. Yazarlar, KDY
farkındalığını ve uygulamasını etkileyen faktörleri tanımlamakta ve gelecekteki
kullanımı için sonuçları ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Kapsamlı bir anket hazırlanmış
ve çeşitli sektörlerden deneyimli yöneticilerle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler
yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de KDY kullanımının kabulünü ve sıklığını etkileyen
faktörler hakkında derinlemesine bir analiz getirmesi bakımından orijinaldir.
Yazarlar, şirketin yer aldığı sektörün, proje yönetimi deneyiminin,
projelerdeki rolünün ve proje yönetimi yazılımı kullanımının KDY farkındalığını  etkilediğini raporlamaktadır. Uygulama ile
ilgili olarak, savunma ve üretim sektörlerinde çalışanların KDY kullanma
olasılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Götürü bedel ve birim
fiyat projelerini kullanan şirketlerin KDY'yi kullanma olasılıkları daha
yüksek, şirket içi projeleri kullanan şirketlerin ise daha düşüktür.
