Earned Value Management
BAC No Formula. Project % Σ𝐸𝑉
𝑋100
No Formula. It is sometimes expressed Complete 𝐵𝐴𝐶
PV as a %age of BAC. ETC = (BAC – EV) / CPI
No Formula. It is sometimes shown as ETC = (BAC – EV)
EV a %age of BAC or PV. ETC ETC = (BAC – EV) / CPIp
AC No Formula. EAC = AC + ETC
SV SV = EV – PV EAC = AC + (BAC – EV)
CV CV = EV – AC EAC = AC + (BAC – EV) / CPI
SPI SPI = EV / PV EAC = BAC / CPI
SPIC SPIC =∑EV / ∑PV EAC EAC = AC + [(BAC – EV) / (CPI * SPI)]
CPI CPI = EV / AC VAC VAC = BAC – EAC
CPIC CPIC = ∑EV / ∑AC TCPI = (BAC – EV) / (BAC – AC)
Budget % Σ𝐴𝐶 TCPI TCPI = (BAC – EV) / (EAC – AC)
𝑋100
Spent 𝐵𝐴𝐶
Estimation
Earned Schedule Management E = (O + P + M) / 3
SVT ES - AT Triangular 𝑃−𝑂 2+ 𝑀−𝑃 𝑀−𝑂
SPIT ES / AT Dist. 𝜎= √
18
PERT E = (O + P + 4*M) / 6
Network Diagram σ = (P – O) / 6
TF = LS – ES Range Est. R = E ± (n * σ)
Activity
2
Total Float TF = LF – EF Var. Var = σ
Free Float FF = ESSuccessor – ESPresent – DurPresent Path Var. VarPath = ∑(Var)
Path St.
𝜎𝑃𝑎𝑡ℎ = √𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑃𝑎𝑡ℎ
Project Selection Methods Deviation
PV = FV / (1 + r)n 1σ = 68.27%
PV / DCF PV = FV * DF 2σ = 95.45%
NPV NPV = ∑PV Sigma 3σ = 99.73%
ROI ROI = Return / Investment Values 4σ - 99.994%
BCR BCR = Benefits / Costs 5σ = 99.99994%
CBR CBR = Costs / Benefits 6σ = 99.999999%
IRR Formula not needed. Higher is better.
PP No formula. Lesser the better. Communication Channels
Opp Cost No formula. C = n*(n – 1) / 2

Expected Monetary Value Procurement

EMVR EMVR = P * I Pt. of Total 𝐶𝑃 − 𝑇𝑃
𝑃𝑇𝐴 = + 𝑇𝐶
EMVP EMVP = ∑EMVR Assumption 𝐵𝑢𝑦𝑒𝑟 ′ 𝑠 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜
Net Benefit Net Benefit = EMVP – Cost
