In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most confusing topics on the PMP exam—Earned Value Management (EVM)—and making it simple, visual, and actually fun to learn. I introduce you to three characters who bring EVM to life: Mr. PV (Planned Value), Ms. EV (Earned Value), and Mrs. AC (Actual Cost). These characters help explain how EVM really works so you can stop memorizing and start understanding.

I'm Scott Payne, founder of All In PM Prep—and I created this podcast to help you stop memorizing and start actually understanding the PMP exam.

In this episode, I break down one document at a time—from the Project Charter to the Risk Register—and show you what it really does, in plain English. No fluff. No jargon. Just clear answers to questions like:

• "Why do we even need this document?"

• "What problem does it solve?"

• "How do I use this in real life?"

If you're studying for the PMP exam—or managing real projects—this podcast will help you know your documents cold.
