Earned Value Analysis How is project health measured? • Scope, time and cost • Key Questions – Is the project performing to budget? – Is the project on schedule to deliver the agreed scope? Budget Plan Vs. Actual Costs Time Now Total Budget Budget € Actual Costs Time Earned Value Characteristics • Point in Time Evaluation • How much work did you PLAN to complete? (Planned Value) • How much work did you ACTUALLY complete? (Earned Value) • How much did you spend to complete the work? (Actual Cost) EVA Example • Project – € 10,000 – 4 weeks. • Week 3: – 50% complete – actual costs to date $9,000 Progress • Planned Value (PV) = $7,500 • Actual Cost (AC) = $9,000 • Earned Value (EV) = $5,000 Earned Value? • Accomplishment is (planned) work that has been carried out successfully. • The budgeted cost of that work quantifies the accomplishment. • This is called ‘earned value’ € time Basic definitions • How much work should be done? • Budget –Budgeted Cost for Work Scheduled (BCWS) • How much work is done? • Earned Value (EV) • How much did it cost? • Actuals –Budgeted Cost for Work Performed (BCWP) –Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) Variance € SV CV time • CV (Cost Variance) – BCWP - ACWP – earned value actual cost • SV (Schedule Variance) – BCWP - BCWS – earned value planned value Performance Indices 1.1 1.0 0.9 0.8 CPI 1.1 SPI (Schedule 1.0 Performance Index) 0.9 0.8 CPI (Cost Performance Index) – BCWP/ACWP – earned/actual SPI – – BCWP/BCWS earned/planned What is the project health? • Schedule Variance – = EV – PV = $5,000 – $7,500 = - $2,500 • Schedule Performance Index (SPI) – = EV/PV = $5,000 / $7,500 = .66 • Cost Variance – = EV – AC = $5,000 - $9,000 = - $4,000 • Cost Performance Index (CPI) – = EV/AC = $5,000 / $9,000 = .55 Conclusion • Objective metrics indicate the project is behind schedule and over budget. • On-target projects have an SPI and CPI of 1 or greater Survey says….. • over 800 DoD programs show that ..... – no program has ever improved their performance better than the performance at the 15% complete point – Once a project is 10% complete, the overrun at completion will not be less than the current overrun. – Once a project is 20% complete, the CPI does not vary from its current value by more than 10%. Estimates at Completion (EAC) Now EAC € ACWP Actual Costs Time Estimate To Complete ETC Independent Forecasts of EAC • EAC: a statistical forecast of final project costs – Basic Formula: Actual Costs + Remaining Work (BAC - EV) = EAC Performance Factor – Forecast 1(Best Case): “Cumulative CPI X SPI”EAC Actual Costs + Remaining Work (BAC - EV) = EAC Cumulative (CPI X SPI) Independent Forecasts of EAC 2 – Forecast 2 (Most Likely): “Current CPI” EAC Actual Costs + Remaining Work (BAC - EV) = EAC Current CPI – Forecast 3 (Worst Case): “Current CPI X SPI” EAC Actual Costs + Remaining Work (BAC - EV) = EAC Current (CPI x SPI) Forecasting Costs • Estimate At Complete = Budget At Complete (BAC) / CPI = $10,000 / .55 = $18,181 At the end of the project, the total project costs will be $18,181 Establish Ranges to Guide Traffic Light Status • Traffic Light status is useful in conveying overall project with one color • Establish objective SPI and CPI ranges to determine the true project color.
