As Keywords these indicators are deterministic the risk of the prediction increases when the number of Project management risks goes up in a project. Therefore statistical methods can be employed to estimate the Earned value management statistical distribution of risks and notably boost predicting accuracy.

Control charts are used along with the earned value management Duration forecasting method to increase accuracy. This model also provides the possibility of selecting the best Cost forecasting Empirical database action plan to improve project performance. Moreover this method can be .
