WHAT COSTS ARE
INCLUDED IN BASELINES?
A planned cost and expected schedule
against which actual cost and schedule are
measured.
A basis for cash flows and awarding progress
payments.
A summation of time-phased budgets (cost
accounts as summed work packages) along a
project timeline.
- An anchor point for measuring performance
-- Labor, equipment, materials,
project direct overhead costs

Development of Project Baselines (cont’d)
RULES FOR PLACING COSTS IN BASELINES
Costs are periodically assigned to a baseline as
units of work are completed over the duration of a
work package.
-Costs are placed exactly as they are expected to be
“earned” in order to track them to their point of origin.
-Percent Complete Rule
Methods of Variance Analysis

Comparing Earned Value
Assessing Status of a Project
Data Budgeted cost of the work scheduled (PV)
Budgeted cost of the work completed (EV)
Actual cost of the work completed (AC)
A positive variance indicates a desirable condition, while
- With the expected schedule value.
- With the actual costs.
- Required data elements
- Calculate schedule and cost variances
a negative variance suggests problems or changes
that have taken place.
Methods of Variance Analysis
Methods of Variance Analysis
Cost Variance (CV)
Schedule Variance (SV)
- Indicates if the work accomplished using labor and materials costs
more or less than was planned at any point in the project.
- Presents an overall assessment in dollar terms of the progress
of all work packages in the project scheduled to date.

A Hypothetical Example
A Hypothetical Example
ASSUMPTIONS
-Each cost account has only one work package, and each cost
account will be represented as an activity on the network.
-The project network early start times will serve as the basis for
assigning the baseline values.
-From the moment work an activity begins, some actual costs
will be incurred each period until the activity is completed.
Indexes to Monitor Progress
Indexes to Monitor Progress
Performance Indexes
Measures the cost efficiency of work accomplished to date.
CPI = EV/AC
Measures scheduling efficiency
SPI = EV/PV
Indicates how much of the work accomplished represents
PCIB = EV/BAC
PCIC = AC/EAC
- Cost Performance Index (CPI)
- Scheduling Performance Index (SPI)
- Percent Complete Indexes
of the total budgeted (BAC) and actual (AC) dollars to date.
Additional Earned Value Rules
Additional Earned Value Rules
Rules applied to short-duration activities
and/or small-cost activities
Assumes 100 % of budget credit is earned at once and
Allows for 50% of the value of the work package budget
Uses subjective estimated percent complete in
-- 0/100 percent rule
only when the work is completed.
-- 50/50 rule
to be earned when it is started and 50% to be earned
when the package is completed.
-- Percent complete with weighted monitoring gates
combination with hard, tangible monitoring points.
Forecasting Final Project Cost
Forecasting Final Project Cost
Methods used to revise estimates of
future project costs:
Allows experts in the field to change original
baseline durations and costs because new
information tells them the original estimates are
not accurate.
Uses actual costs-to-date plus an efficiency
index to project final costs in large projects where
the original budget is unreliable.

-- EACf

Measures accomplishments against plan and deliverables.
Provides a method for tracking directly to a problem work package and organization unit responsible.
Alerts all stakeholders to early identification of problems, and allows for quick, proactive corrective action.
Improves communication because all stakeholders are using the same database.
Keeps customer informed of progress, and encourages customer confidence that the money spent is
resulting in the expected progress.
Provides for accountability over individual portions of the overall budget for each organizational unit.
The best information system does not result in good control. Control requires the project manager to use
information to steer the project through rough waters. Control and Gantt charts are useful vehicles for
monitoring time performance. The cost/ schedule system allows the manager to have a positive influence on
cost and schedule in a timely manner. The ability to influence cost decreases with time; therefore, timely
reports identifying adverse cost trends can greatly assist the project manager in getting back on budget and
schedule. The integrated cost/schedule model provides the project manager and other stakeholders with a
snapshot of the current and future status of the project. The benefits of the cost/schedule model are as
follows:

With your information system in place, you need to use your communication plan to keep stakeholders
informed so timely decisions can be made to ensure the project is managed effectively.
