Abstract	Performing well in construction project management rests on excellent scheduling and performance tracking. Of the project control tools used, the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Earned Value Management (EVM) provide stand-alone perspectives, but they are also related. EVM facilitates the integration of cost and schedule performance, while CPM emphasizes task sequencing and time management. As Primavera P6 continues to gain adoption amongst organizations, the synergy and distillation between these project management methodologies is becoming more marked. Based on this, this paper compares the two of them from the perspectives of construction management. It investigates the applications, limitations, and impacts on CPM and EVM project outcomes. This informs the project managers of the strategic benefits of combining these methods for better control and forecasting.
