In order to ensure the realization of the overall goal of the project, the comprehensive management must be used in the engineering projects. As an advanced engineering project performance evaluation method, EVM (Earned Value Management) provides a complete index and ideas in the process of the project, especially in the comprehensive control and management of cost and schedule. Combined with the actual case of communication engineering, we introduced the applications of EVM in communication engineering, expounded the function of the parameters and analyzed in the dynamic monitoring of communication project, and the development trend of project cost and schedule was analysed, and gave measures to take corrective. The problem of how to effectively schedule and cost control within the scope of the problem were solved, project goal is expected to be achieved.
