Study Notes
Earned Value Management (EVM)
- EVM is a method to measure project performance by comparing the value of work accomplished to the actual cost incurred.
Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS)
- BCWS is the budgeted cost for the work planned to be completed by a specific point in time.
Earned Value (EV)
- EV is the estimated value of the work accomplished as of today.
Actual Cost (AC)
- AC is the actual cost incurred for the work accomplished as of today.
Estimate at Completion (EAC)
- EAC is the anticipated total cost of the project at completion.
- EAC is how much you expect the project to cost when it is complete.
Estimate to Complete (ETC)
- ETC is the outstanding amount of money needed to complete the remaining work on the project.
- ETC is how much more money you expect to spend to complete the project.
Cost Variance (CV)
- CV is the difference between what you have planned to spend on the project and what you've actually spent so far.
- CV = EV – AC
- Negative CV indicates over budget, while positive CV indicates under budget.
Schedule Variance (SV)
- SV is the difference between the planned schedule and the actual schedule.
- SV = EV – PV
- Negative SV indicates behind schedule, while positive SV indicates ahead of schedule.
Variance at Completion (VAC)
- VAC is how much over or under budget the project will be at the end of the project.
- VAC = BAC – EAC
