During the past 70 years, the standards for practicing earned value have matured into a very well-defined set of expectations. These practice standards are codified in the 32 criteria defined by the EIA-748D guidelines. The 32 criteria are grouped into the following 5 areas:
- Organization
- Planning, Scheduling, and Budgeting
- Accounting Considerations
- Analysis and Management Reports
- Revisions and Data Maintenance
