SV Schedule variance. The difference between the earned value and the planned value. TV- Time Variance. The difference between time schedule for work performed and the actual time take for the work performed. Also represented as: TV= SV/(PV/AT) CPI Cost performance index. The ratio of the earned value to the actual cost. SPI Schedule Performance index. The ratio of the earned value to the planned value. CSI- Cost Schedule Index. Cost performance index * schedule performance index Question 6 (parts a- f) Project New Concentration at your company work breakdown structure has outlined the following activities: Activity Predecessor Normal Time (TE) in Days A: Obtain Instructor - 7 B: Locate a Room A 3 C: Check Costs - 6 D: Room Availability C 3 E: Schedule Classes B, D 2 a) Construct a AON network diagram: b) Show the ES/EF, LS/LF, and the slack for all activities c) Show the critical path ( write it out below the network) For the next set of question s refer to the table below: Activity Crash Time (in days) Crash Cost (total) Normal Time (TE) in Days Normal Cost (total) Crash Cost per day A: Obtain instructor 4 $ 800 7 $ 500 B: Locate a Room 2 $ 350 3 $ 200 C: Check Costs 4 $ 900 6 $ 500 D: Room availability 1 $ 500 3 $ 200 E: Schedule Classes 1 $ 550 2 $ 300 d) Find the crash cost per day for each activity, enter in the table above e) Which activity should be crashed to meet a project deadline of 10 days (assume partial crashing is allowed for all activities) f) Find the new cost. Question 7: A Project to develop software is 7 days behind at day 60. It has a planned cost of $830 for this point in time. The actual cost is $645. Estimate variances and give your answer to the health of the project. Re- estimate the variance and give you answer to the health of the project, if the actual cost had been $745 [left table] AC = $645 AC = $745 Day AC PV EV Day AC PV EV CV CV CPI CPI SV SV SPI SPI CSI CSI TV TV
