Abstract
Project management is an organized system and resource management so that the project is completed with a specific vision, specific quality, specific time and specific cost. Project management is the process by which a project must achieve the desired result in the easiest and most cost-effective way during its life cycle. Measuring the performance of the project team and determining the progress of the project and comparing it with the initial plan has always been and will be the concern of project managers and it can be said that project performance control with value management is the most efficient and common way to control project performance It started in the middle of the twentieth century and gradually spread. The purpose of this study is to investigate new approaches in the field of value management gained by reviewing the literature in this field. In most recent researches on the subject of value management, it has been pointed out that it is insufficient to achieve the goals of project managers. Therefore, in recent years, many researchers have tried to improve the method of managing the value gained by combining it with other methods. In construction project management, the management of acquired value is considered as a suitable tool and therefore has been implemented in various construction industries. Acquired value management is based on the belief that it increases the value of the project. Given the dynamic environment in which construction companies must operate, especially in turbulent environments that are a direct result of the recent global recession, it is important to address the executive potential of value management in the construction industry. The difference between traditional value management forecasting approaches and new value management approaches in project management can be a way out of problems and shortcomings in this area.
