Its not enough that the Project Manager approves of the Project Management Plan; it needs to be
approved by all of the stakeholders in the project. Everyone on the team should feel comfortable with the
processes that are going to be used to do the work.

Question
You are the project manager for a railroad construction project. Your
sponsor has asked you for a forecast for the cost of project
completion. The project has a total budget of $80,000 and CPI of
.95. The project has spent $25,000 of its budget so far. How much
more money do you plan to spend on the project?
a. $59,210
b. $80,000
c.
$84,210
d. $109,210
Answer: A
This question is asking you to create a forecast using Estimate To Complete (ETC), which uses CPI (Cost
Performance Index) to project how much money is likely to be spent for the rest of the project. The first
step is to plug the numbers into the formula EAC = BAC / CPI, which yields EAC = $80,000 / .95 =
$84,210. Thats how much money youre likely to spend on the project. Now you can figure out ETC =
EAC - AC = $84,210 - $25,000 = $59,210.
[BAC = Budget at Completion, EAC = Estimate at Completion, AC = Actual Cost]

Question
Given this portion of the network

of activity F?
a. 10
b. 11
c.
16
d. 17
Answer: A
Its just easy to calculate the late finish (LF) of an activity in a network diagram. Look at the following
activity, take its LS (late start), and subtract one. If theres more than one following activity, use the one
with the lowest LS. So for activity F in the question, the following activities are G, with an LS of 17, and H,
with an LS of 11. So the LF of F is 11 - 1 = 10.

on the team, job safety or job security) are satisfied they wont even begin to think about the higher
ones (fulfilling their potential and making a contribution).

How to calculate the project duration?

Using Critical Path Method
0548 582 754
Simple Example:
Lets say we have two activities
a) Make Biryani ( Duration = 60 Min)
b) Make Raita ( Duration = 10 Mins)
Project Start time = 08:00 pm

path, longest path, and the shortest duration in which you can complete this project
and is called as critical path.

Earned Value Management
A method to assess the projects performance.

Where we are standing ?
How is it going ?
Is it going good or Bad ?
In Terms of Time
In Terms of Cost
If it continues like this ? What are the forecasts /

Projections / Estimations ?
0548 582 754
Example
We have to construct a wall , in 10

days, and 1000 SAR budget. At the
end of 4 days, we have completed
20 % and spent 300 SAR. Assuming
linear planning ( 10 % daily
achievement and spending) ..
Calculate the following
0548 582 754
Planned Value (PV)

Earned Value (EV)
Actual Cost (AC)
Schedule Variance (SV)
Cost Variance (CV)
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
BAC
EAC
ETC
VAC
TCPI
0548 582 754
PV = Planned Value = Budgeted cost of work

scheduled ) means we wanted to do )
At the end of 4th day ?? 40 %
Budget allocated for 40 % = 400
PV = 400
EV = Earned Value = Budgeted cost of work
performed ) means we have done )
At the end of 4th day ?? 20 %
Budget allocated for 20 % = 200
EV = 200
0548 582 754
AC = Actual Cost of the work so far done

Which is given in the statement itself i.e. 300 SAR
Schedule variance = SV = EV PV
Cost Variance = CV = EV AC
If SV or CV is negative shows a bad situation
If SV or CV is positive shows a good situation
If SV or CV is Zero shows an OK situation
0548 582 754
Schedule Performance Index= SPI = EV / PV

Cost Performance Index = CPI = EV / AC
If SPI or CPI is < 1 shows a bad situation
If SPI or CPI is > 1 shows a good situation
If SPI or CPI is 1 shows an OK situation
0548 582 754
How to remember the formulas
SV = EV PV
CV = EV AC
SPI = EV / PV
CPI = EV / AC
EV is coming first
For Variance its Minus
For Index is division
For Schedule other operand is PV
For Cost other operand is AC
