Earned Value - What is it?Simply, it is a project monitoring andmeasurement system that:1. establishes a clear relationship between
planned accomplishments and actual accomplishments
2. reinforces and rewards good planning
practices

Earned Value - What is it?Basic concepts of Earned ValueManagement (EVM)
Each task in a project earns value as plannedwork is completed
For example (perhaps), if you were paid on thisbasis, you wouldearn $$ at key milestones based onthe value of what you have completed (earned value)
Earned value can be compared to actual costand budgeted cost to determine variance andpredict future performance

Earned Value ComponentsPlanned Value (a.k.a.BCWS)
How much work (person-hours) you planned to haveaccomplished at a given point in time (this is from theWBS in your plan)
Actual Cost (a.k.a. ACWP)How much work (person-hours) you have actually spentat a given point in time
Earned Value (a.k.a. BCWP)The value (person-hours) in terms of your base budgetof what you have accomplished at a given point in time(or, % complete X Planned Value)

Earned Value: Example
On Day X:PLANNED VALUE(Budgeted cost of the work scheduled, BCWS) =18 + 10 + 16 + 6 = 50
EARNED VALUE(Budgeted cost of the work performed, BCWP) =18 + 8 + 14 + 0 = 40
ACTUAL COST (of the work performed , ACWP) =45 (from your project tracking - not evident in above chart)

Earned Value: Example
C o s
t ( P e r s o n - H o u r s
)
Time (Date)
Planned Value : what your plan called for sending onthe tasks planned to becompleted by this date.
Today
Earned Value : value (cost)of what you haveaccomplished to date, per the base plan.
Actual Cost : what youhave actually spent tothis point in time.

VarianceAnyschedule or cost deviation from aspecific plan.Used within an organization to verify thebudget and schedule for a projectFrequently used as a key component ofplan reviews and performancemeasurement

VarianceMust compare scheduling and budgetvariance at the same time
Schedule variance : deviations from workplanned not a measure of changes in costCost variance: deviations from thebudget not a measure of work scheduled vs.
work completedExample: applying more $$/people to a task maymaintain the schedule, but it adds to costschedule on track over budget on expenses (cost)

SPI = BCWP/BCWSAnalysis
CPI > 1.0 exceptional performance
CPI < 1.0 poor performanceSimilar for SPI

Earned Value & Variance: Example
On Day X:PLANNED VALUE (BCWS) = 18 + 10 + 16 + 6 = 50EARNED VALUE (BCWP) = 18 + 8 + 14 + 0 = 40ACTUAL COST (ACWP) = 45 (from your project tracking)
Therefore:Schedule Variance = BCWP BCWS = 40 - 50 = -10 (behind schedule)Schedule Performance Index = 40 / 50 = 0.8, or 80% of plan (a B-, at best)Cost Variance = BCWP - ACWP = 40 - 45 = -5Cost Performance Index = 40/45 = .89, or youre getting an 89 return on every$1.00 (or, person-hour) spent on this project

Primary Measurement MethodsMeasurable efforts
Discrete increments of work with definableschedule and tangible results (i.e., real taskswith a deliverable)
Level of effortWork that is not discernable in discrete ,
measurable tasks (e.g., project management,training)

Determining % Complete When?
Allocate based on time spent but what if youspend more time than allocated?Allocate 50% at start of task, 50% at end
But only for small, discrete tasksAllocate 100% at start of taskAllocate 100% at end of task
Best solution if you keep tasks very small
Allocate value at Critical MilestonesGood solution when using with contract workOthers?

Another Example ProjectPlans to spend $100K in each of first 4 weeks(baseline budget, per documented plan)Actuals, at end of week 4 show: $325K spent
BCWS = $400K ($100K x 4)ACWP = $325K
What conclusions can you draw?Under budget?
Is project on schedule?

Another Example ProjectSuppose BCWP is $300K
How is this determined?What conclusions now?
SV = BCWP BCWSSV = $300k - $400K = -$100K
Behind schedule, but what does the $100K in
variance really mean?CV = BCWP ACWP = $300K - $325K
Over budget by $25K

Earned Value ManagementHow can you use this information?
Careful analysis of variance and trendsResetting schedule or budget, when appropriate
Variance Analysis QuestionsWhat is the problem causing the variance?What is the impact on time, cost and performance?What is the impact on other efforts, if any?What corrective action is planned or under way?What are the expected results of the correctiveaction?

Earned Value ManagementExtraordinary variance or alarming trends maybe cause for reset or cancellation of a project,but where do you draw the line?
How much variance to allow depends on anumber of factors:Life-cycle phaseLength of life-cycle phase
Length of projectType of estimateAccuracy of estimate

Closing Thoughts: ManagementReserveThe padding always added to a project forunexpected costs that are within projectscope
Not an allowance for changes to scopeNot part of the cost estimate
Added by upper management, not theproject manager.

Closing Thoughts: GovernmentRequirementsU.S. government contract cost tracking oftenmust include:
BCWS
BCWPACWPEstimated cost at completionBudgeted cost at completion
Cost and schedule variances with explanationsTraceability
