<ul><li>“ Purchasing & Installing Web Server” </li></ul><ul><li>Duration 1 week, Budget $10,000. </li></ul><ul><ul><li>PV – Planned Value – for that activity for that week = $10,000 </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>AC – Actual Cost – suppose it actually took 2 weeks and cost $20,000. Assume $15,000 were incurred in week 1, and $5,000 in week 2. These costs are the actual costs for that activity each week </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>EV – Earned Value – earned value after one week is $7,500.

Rules for Earned Value Numbers <ul><li>Negative numbers for cost and schedule variance indicate problems in those areas </li></ul><ul><li>The project is costing more than planned or taking longer than planned </li></ul><ul><li>CPI and SPI less than 100% indicate problems </li></ul>

<ul><li>So, what do you do when your plan changes? </li></ul>
74.
There are methods used to revise estimates of future project costs <ul><li>EVM allows experts in the field to change original baseline durations and costs because new information tells them the original estimates are not accurate </li></ul><ul><li>EVM uses actual costs-to-date plus an efficiency index to project final costs in large projects where the original budget is unreliable </li></ul>
