Definition
Earned value management (EVM) is a methodology that combines scope,
schedule, and resource measurements to assess project performance and
progress.
It is a commonly used method of performance measurement for projects.
It integrates the scope baseline with the cost baseline, along with the
schedule baseline, to form the performance baseline, which helps the
project management team assess and measure project performance and
progress

Why EVM?
Quantify and measure program/contract performance,
Provide an early warning system for deviation from a baseline,
Mitigate risks associated with cost and schedule overruns,
Provide a means to forecast final cost and schedule outcomes

Example
2 weeks into the project
Ms Ann completed 35MILES
Also spent $15500
“Calculate the
Performance”
Imagine Ms Ann is the project manager of 100 miles road work
She must finish the project in 5 weeks
She can spent $10000/week

INTERPRETATION
BAC | BUDGETED AT
COMPLETION
The value of total planned work, the project cost baseline $50000
PV | PLANNED VALUE
COST
The value of the work planned to be completed to a point in
time, usually the data date, or project completion $20000
EV | EARNED VALUE
COST
The planned value of all the work completed (earned) to a
point in time, usually the data date, without reference to actual
costs
$17500
AC | ACTUAL COST The actual cost of all the work completed to a point in time,
usually the data date $15500
CV | COST VARIANCE
The difference between the value of work completed to a point
in time, usually the data date, and the actual costs to the same
point in time
CV = EV –
AC $2000
Positive = Under planned cost
Neutral = On planned cost
Negative = Over planned cost
SV | SCHEDULE
VARIANCE
The difference between the work completed to a point in time,
and the work planned to be completed to the same point in
time.
SV = EV –
PV -$2500
Positive = Ahead of Schedule
Neutral = On schedule
Negative = Behind Schedule
CPI | COST
PERFORMANCE INDEX
A measure of the cost efficiency of budgeted resources
expressed as the ratio of earned value to actual cost. CPI = EV/AC 1.129
>1.0 = Under planned cost
Exactly 1.0 = On planned cost
<1.0 = Over planned cost
SPI | SCHEDULE
PERFORMANCE INDEX
A measure of schedule efficiency expressed as the ratio of
earned value to planned value
SPI = EV/PV 0.875
>1.0 = Ahead of schedule
Exactly 1.0 = On schedule
<1.0 = Behind schedule

EAC | ESTIMATE AT
COMPLETION
If the CPI is expected to be the same for the remainder of the
project, EAC can be calculated using EAC = BAC/CPI $44286.979
If future work will be accomplished at the planned rate, use: EAC = AC + BAC – EV $48000
If the initial plan is no longer valid, use: EAC = AC + Bottom-up ETC
If both the CPI and SPI influence the remaining work, use EAC = AC + [(BAC – EV)/(CPI x SPI)] $48398.899
ETC | ESTIMATE TO
COMPLETION
Assuming work is proceeding on plan, the cost of completing the
remaining authorized work can be calculated using:
ETC = EAC – AC $28786
Reestimate the remaining work from the bottom up ETC = Reestimate
VAC | VARIANCE AT
COMPLETION
The estimated difference in cost at the completion of the project.
Positive = Under planned cost
Neutral = On planned cost
Negative = Over planned cost
VAC = BAC – EAC $5713.021
