Improving Project Selection Using Expected Net Present Value Analysis

John J. Flaig

Open publisher page 16 citations

Abstract

Expected net present values analysis offers the practitioner a more realistic approach to project evaluation and selection. It does this by addressing three key issues: (1) it includes the key process input variables, at both their pre- and postproject completion states; (2) it offers a subjective probabilistic model of the expected project completion timeline; and (3) it uses the time value of money to measure benefits and cost in current dollars.
