Lecture 15: Project Monitoring, Evaluation and


Control 2 - Evaluation, Forecasting, Control

The Earned Value Concept (1)


The earned value (EV) refers to the determination of
how much work has been performed on the basis of
what was scheduled to be performed and what was
budgeted for the work that has actually been
completed.
The earned value (EV) concept integrates cost,
schedule, and work performed by ascribing
monetary values to each.
EM-504: Project Management Framework And Tools

Farhan Saleem

The Earned Value Concept (2)


; Earned value is keyed to the project budget. Earned value
techniques can be applied in both fixed price (or budget) and
cost reimbursable (floating or variable budget) projects.
; Under earned value, a direct relationship is established
between percent complete of an account and the budget for
that account.
; Earned value = (percent complete) x (budget for that account)
; Percent complete = (actual units completed)/(Budgeted
number of units at completion)

Control 2 - Evaluation, Forecasting, Control

Main primary data (1)


In EV -based control systems only three variables are used as the basic
building blocks:
1. BCWS: Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled
The value (in monetary units) of the work scheduled to be accomplished in
a given period of time (a single control period, or an ordered sequence
beginning with the first).
This measure, also called the project plan, is developed at the outset of the
project as it involves assigning to activities the amount budgeted
(estimated) for each activity.
Thus the work content scheduled to
be accomplished during the first 4
weeks of the project is budgeted at
$7,456.
EM-504: Project Management Framework And Tools

Rizwan Farooqui

Main primary data (2)


2. BCWP: Budgeted Cost of Work Performed
The budgeted monetary value of the work actually accomplished
within the control period.
It is also known as the earned value.

3. ACWP: Actual Cost of Work Performed
The cost actually incurred and recorded in accomplishing the
work performed within the control period.

EM-504: Project Management Framework And Tools

Earned Value Approach

The three measures BCWS, ACWP, and BCWP are the basis of
the control analysis by which variations/ deviations in time and
schedule are detected

Lecture 15: Project Monitoring, Evaluation and


Control 2 - Evaluation, Forecasting, Control

Variances (1)
SV: schedule variance; BCWP-BCWS
The difference between the budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP)
and the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS) indicates (in
monetary units) the deviation between the work content performed
and the work content scheduled for the control period.
A positive difference indicates that the project is ahead of schedule,
and a negative difference implies that the project is late. If the

absolute value of the difference is very small, then in terms of work content,
the project is on schedule.

SV>0: ahead of schedule, SV<0: behind schedule

% SV:% Schedule Variance: 100SV/BCWS


Percentage deviation of the budgeted cost of performed works from the
budgeted cost of scheduled works
EM-504: Project Management Framework And Tools

Farhan Saleem

Variances (2)
Example Schedule Variance

Activity A, the work performed is worth $300 more than what was planned
for the control period; in activity B, the work performed is exactly equal to
what was planned; and in activity E, the work performed is worth $1,628 less
than what was planned for the period.
The cumulative variance is an indication in terms of work content performed.

Lecture 15: Project Monitoring, Evaluation and


Control 2 - Evaluation, Forecasting, Control

Variances (3)
CV: cost variance; BCWP-ACWP
Deviations in cost are calculated based on the work content actually
performed during the control period.
The cost variance (CV) is defined as the difference between the budgeted
cost of work performed (BCWP) and the actual cost of work performed
(ACWP).
A positive CV indicates a lower actual cost than budgeted for the control
period, while a negative CV indicates a cost overrun.

CV>0: under budget, CV<0: over budget

% CV:% Cost Variance: 100CV/BCWP


Percentage deviation of the actual costs from what was budgeted for the work
performed to date
EM-504: Project Management Framework And Tools

Farhan Saleem

Variances (4)
Example Cost Variance

Activities A and B are exactly on budget.


Activity E, however, shows a cost overrun of $1,272, since the work
performed on this activity was budgeted at $1,628 whereas the actual
cost turned out to be $2,900.

Cost and schedule indicators (1)


SPI: schedule performance index: BCWP/BCWS
Direct relationship between work performed and work
scheduled based on budgeted costs (SPI>1: ahead of
schedule, SPI<1: behind schedule)
CPI: cost performance index: BCWP/ACWP
This ratio directly compares budgeted costs to actual
costs based on work performed. (CPI>1: under budget,
CPI<1: over budget)

Cost and schedule indicators (2)


Following are CPI and SPI values for the project after 4 weeks:
These values indicate that
during the control period,
25%
more
work
was
performed for activity A than
planned (SPI = 1.25) but at
the exact cost budgeted for
that work content (CPI = 1).
For activity B, the planned work content was performed at the
planned cost, and for activity E only half of the planned work
content was performed (SPI = 0.5). The planned cost of performing
that work content was only 56% (CPI = 0.56) of the actual cost.
EM-504: Project Management Framework And Tools

Farhan Saleem

Cost and schedule indicators (3)


The schedule index and the cost index can be calculated for a single
activity, for a group of activities, or for the whole project.
This is done by accumulating the values of BCWS, BCWP , and
ACWP for the appropriate activities and calculating the values of SPI
and CPI based on these totals.
For our example, the SPI and CPI after 4 weeks are:

Example 1
Provide an earned-value analysis to evaluate the progress of a
project with a total budgeted cost of $147,500 and an estimated
completion time of 94 working days. A status report after 10
working days into the project is as follows:
BCWP = $7,600
ACWP = $7,700
BCWS = $7,600
BAC = $147,500
The BCWS and BCWP shown above were the same since all
activities that were scheduled for completion were completed
according to the original planned schedule.

Cost variance, CV

=$7,600 - $7,700

A negative value of CV represents a cost overrun. Based on
the status report the actual cost is greater than that earned by
$100.
Schedule variance, SV = BCWP BCWS
=$7,600 - $7,600

Since the SV is zero, the project is progressing as planned.
The project is not ahead of or behind the planned schedule.

EV Cost and Schedule Performance System (4)


Example 1 (cont.)
Cost and schedule performance
Cost performance index, CPI = BCWP/ACWP
= $7,600/$7,700
= 0. 987
The CPI is less than 1.0, which indicates a poor cost
performance. The earned value is less than the actual costs.
Schedule performance index, SPI = BCWP/BCWS
= $7,600/$7,600
= 1.0
The SPI is equal to 1.0, which indicates the schedule
performance is progressing precisely as planned.

Estimate to complete, ETC = (BAC BCWP)/CPI

Based on the analysis of the status report, the remaining
cost to complete the project is $141,743.
Estimate at completion, EAC = ACWP + ETC
= $7,700 + $141,743
= $149,443
Based on the analysis of the status report, the estimated

ETC= (BAC-BCWP)/CPI = ($257,000-$159,000)/1.05 =


$93,333
EAC= ACWP+ETC=$152,000+$93,333= $245,333
Summary: Although the project is slightly behind schedule,
it is performing under budget. The project is currently at
the 62% completion stage and is estimated to be completed
for a revised estimated cost of $245,333; a decrease from
the original estimate.
