Introduction To Intrusion Detection SystemsPaul Green
An intrusion detection system (IDS) monitors network traffic and system activities for malicious activities or policy violations. An IDS typically consists of sensors to generate security events, a central engine to correlate events and generate alerts, and a console for administrators to monitor alerts. There are different types of IDS, including network IDS that monitor network traffic, and host-based IDS that monitor activities on individual hosts. While firewalls block unwanted traffic using rules, IDS are needed to monitor for attacks hidden in acceptable traffic and help identify unwanted network traffic using signatures and anomaly detection. IDS can operate passively by detecting anomalies and logging or actively by performing actions like blocking traffic (intrusion prevention system).

Why the earned value management?
Establishment of the Performance Measurement Baseline
EVM Analysis & Forecasting
Earned value analysis (EVA) is a project management technique for measuring project performance and progress. It objectively compares the planned cost and schedule of a project to its actual cost and progress by integrating measurements of scope, schedule and cost. EVA allows project managers to forecast a project's final cost, completion date and variances in a timely manner to identify risks and take corrective actions if needed. Project managers use EVA by setting a performance measurement baseline, measuring actual work progress and costs, and calculating variances to analyze schedule and cost performance.
Project monitoring refers to tracking project metrics like team performance, task duration, and identifying potential problems to ensure a project is on schedule, within budget, and meets deadlines. It clarifies objectives, links activities to objectives, sets targets, reports progress, and alerts management to issues. Earned value analysis is a project monitoring tool that compares planned, actual, and earned values to measure performance and forecast completion. It involves gathering work information, calculating schedule and cost variances and performance indices, and reporting on whether tasks are ahead or behind schedule and over or under budget.
This document discusses project monitoring and control. It defines monitoring as tracking key parameters like cost, schedule and risks throughout the project duration. Control is defined as comparing actual performance to the baseline plan and taking corrective actions. The document outlines the project control process and tools used like tracking Gantt charts and control charts. It also discusses topics like baselines, earned value analysis, updating estimates and using software like MS Project for project execution and control.
Project monitoring refers to tracking project metrics like team performance, task duration, and identifying potential problems to ensure a project is on schedule, budget, and scope. It clarifies objectives, links activities to objectives, reports progress to management, and alerts managers to issues. Project monitoring assesses results, improves planning, promotes learning, ensures accountability, and answers questions about task progress, unforeseen consequences, team performance, needed changes, and impact on results. Earned value analysis is a monitoring tool that compares planned, actual, and earned values to measure progress and performance through metrics like schedule and cost variances, and indexes. Regular reporting keeps stakeholders informed of project status.
The document discusses earned value analysis using Primavera P6. It defines key earned value analysis terms like planned value, actual cost, earned value, schedule variance, cost variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index. It then provides an example implementation of earned value analysis on a project with 5 activities in Primavera P6, showing the progress and resource actuals for each activity as of a data date of September 13, 2021.
Earned value analysis is a project management technique that compares the planned value of work completed to the actual cost of that work. It measures three key values: budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS), actual cost of work performed (ACWP), and budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP). Variances and indices calculated from these values help project managers determine if a project is on budget and on schedule. The analysis is done for each task and then rolled up to evaluate the overall project status based on a selected status date.
This document discusses project cost management and control. It describes cost estimating, cost budgeting, and cost control as the three factors of project cost management. It defines key terms like planned value, earned value, and actual cost used in earned value management. Earned value management compares planned work to actual work completed and actual costs to measure cost and schedule performance. The document also discusses tools for cost control like estimate to complete, forecasting, cost variance, and cost performance index.
This document provides an overview of performance measurement and progress management in project management. It discusses key concepts like earned value management, variance analysis, and performance indices. It also outlines the key processes involved in progress and performance measurement planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Finally, it discusses the benefits of progress and performance measurement for project visibility, forecasting, and future estimation.
Project monitoring and control involves collecting data on project performance and using it to control the project and ensure it stays on track. Key aspects of monitoring include what to monitor (inputs, outputs, time, costs, quality), when to monitor (regularly and at milestones), and how (meetings, reports, Earned Value Analysis). Earned Value Analysis compares the budgeted cost of work performed, actual cost of work performed, and budgeted cost of work scheduled to calculate cost and schedule variances, helping project managers identify issues. Other techniques for monitoring and control include critical ratios and re-planning as needed to correct deviations from the project plan.
Earned value management compares planned work with actual work accomplished to measure project performance. It calculates schedule variance by comparing earned value to planned work, and cost variance by comparing earned value to actual costs. Positive variances indicate the project is ahead or under budget, while negative variances mean it is behind or over budget. Indices like SPI and CPI also measure performance, with values over 1 meaning ahead or under budget and values under 1 meaning behind or over.
This document provides an overview of earned value management. It defines key earned value terms like planned value, earned value, and actual cost. It explains how to calculate schedule and cost variance using these values. Variance is used to determine if a project is on budget and on schedule. The document also provides an example to illustrate these earned value concepts.
This document provides information on Earned Value Management (EVM) and Social Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA). It defines EVM as a technique that uses an integrated schedule and budget to measure project performance. Key terms like Earned Value, Planned Value, and Actual Cost are defined. It also outlines the benefits of EVM and calculations used, including schedule and cost variances. SCBA is defined as analyzing the direct/indirect economic and social impacts of a project on a society. Objectives and criteria for SCBA are described, including establishing the net social benefit and using a social discount rate.
The document provides an overview of earned value analysis (EVA) training. It defines EVA as a project management technique for monitoring cost and schedule performance by comparing actual and budgeted resources. The training will cover what EVA is, why it is used, how EVA metrics like cost variance, schedule variance and estimate at completion are calculated, and examples of how EVA is applied. Attendees will learn how EVA can identify if a project is over budget or ahead of schedule so corrective actions can be taken.
Earned Value Management is an important topic for PMP and PMI ACP Exam. Since the questions related with Earned Value Management are based on formulas so with practice, these concepts can be mastered and these questions can be answered confidently in the exam.

Earned Value Analysis
Tracking Project Progress
What Is Earned Value?The dollar amount you planned to spend for the work actually completed
Earned Value is the budgeted cost of the work that has actually been performed/completed
Earned Value = Budgeted Cost of the Work Performed (BCWP)
What Is Earned Value Analysis (EVA)?
EVA enables the project progress to be tracked in terms of:
The work that has actually been completed
--- Compared To ---
The work that was scheduled to be completed
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the project team to know:If the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
How far the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
If the project is over or under budget
How much the project is over or under budget
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the team to address the project’s triple constraints earlier rather than later Scope – re-prioritize/reduce requirements
--- and/or ---
Schedule – adjust the timeline
--- and/or ---
Cost – request additional funding

This document provides information about agile metrics that can be used to measure project progress. It defines key metrics like velocity, burn down/up charts, cycle time, and earned value management. Velocity is the number of story points a team can complete per iteration and is an important metric for agile projects. Burn down/up charts visually depict work completed and remaining over iterations. Cycle time measures the average time between delivering work items. Earned value management uses metrics like planned value, earned value, and cost performance index to compare planned vs. actual progress. The document explains how these various agile metrics can help provide feedback and identify issues early in projects.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

2. Planned Value (PV)1
Also referredto as Budgeted Cost of Work
Scheduled (BCWS)
The planned value is the estimated cost for your project
activities planned/scheduled as of reporting date.
3. Compare the Planned Value with other project KPIs to
see whether you’re runningahead of schedule or have
already spent a bigger slice of your budget than
scheduled to date.
Planned value = (the hours left scheduled on the project)
X (project worker’s hourly rate)
Planned Value = (Planned % of tasks left to complete) X
(project budget)
4. Actual Cost (AC)2
Also referred to as Actual Cost of Work
Performed(ACWP)
Indicates how muchmoney you have spent on a project
as to date,
5. Earned Value (EV)3
Also referred to as Budgeted Cost of Work
Performed(BCWP)
Shows the approved budget for all the performed project
activities by a specified date.
9. Cost Variance (CV)5
Indicates whetherthe estimated cost of your
project is below or above the planned baseline.
To calculate the Cost Variance, compare the Planned
Budget to Actual budget at a given time.
10. Cost Performance Index
(CPI)
6
CPI is the ratio of the planned budget to what
you’ve actually spent to accomplish these tasks.
Shows how much time you’re behind or ahead of the
approved project schedule.
12. Planned hours of work
vs actual situation
8
Shows how many working hours were
plannedfor the project processes
compared to the actual time spent.
13. Overdue project tasks9
Gives an overview of how many project
activities are overdue.
This KPI is a calculated percentage of projects with
crossed deadlines compared to all the completed project
activities.
14. Schedule Variance (SV)10
Shows how much ahead or behind of
plannedbudget (and scheduled work)
your project is running.
SV = Earned Value (EV) – Planned Value (PL)
15. Schedule Performance
Index (SPI)
11
Shows whether you’re ahead or behind the
plannedproject schedule.
To calculate Schedule Performance Index, divide the
project’s Earned Value (EV) with the Planned Value (PV).
16. If the Schedule Variance Index is less than one,
it indicates that the project is potentiallybehind
schedule. If the SPI is greater than one, it
indicates that the project is running ahead of
schedule.
17. Missed milestones12
Indicates whether you’ve overestimated
your capacities and are running behind
the schedule or you’re doing just fine,
never missinga milestone.
18. Percentage of tasks
completed
13
Measures the time spent on
completed tasks.
Enter the planned time for each project activity so that
the KPI won’t reflect the number of various-size tasks
but the time spent.
19. Resource utilization14
Measures how the time of team members
is used while working on the project.
It also implies how much time are people working on
billable activities compared to the time spent on non-
billable tasks.
21. Number of cancelled
projects
16
Indicates the amount of unaccomplished
projects.
Perceive the percentage of cancelled projects as a
reflection on the sustainability of your business
decisions.
