Question: Project status Earned Value Management (EVM) Analysis: Schedule Performance Index (SPI): SPI = EV / PV Cost Performance Index (CPI): CPI = EV / AC
Project status Earned Value Management (EVM) Analysis:
- Schedule Performance Index (SPI): SPI = EV / PV
- Cost Performance Index (CPI): CPI = EV / AC
- Schedule Variance (SV): SV = EV - PV
- Cost Variance (CV): CV = EV - AC
Let's calculate these for each week:
| Week | PV | EV | AC | SPI | CPI | SV | CV | |
| 1 | 12,004,883 | 13,023,741 | 14,165,801 | 1.08 | 0.92 | 1,018,858 | -1,142,060 |
| 2 | 12,242,655 | 13,349,751 | 14,328,021 | 1.09 | 0.93 | 1,107,096 | -978,270 |
| 3 | 12,303,868 | 13,421,499 | 14,503,161 | 1.09 | 0.93 | 1,117,631 | -1,081,662 |
| 4 | 12,672,984 | 13,630,378 | 14,867,897 | 1.08 | 0.92 | 957,394 | -1,237,519 |
| 5 | 13,538,143 | 13,892,707 | 14,952,853 | 1.03 | 0.93 | 354,564 | -1,060,146 |
| 6 | 14,590,883 | 13,947,872 | 15,064,978 | 0.96 | 0.93 | -642,011 | -1,117,106 |
| 7 | 15,018,150 | 14,007,422 | 15,200,085 | 0.93 | 0.92 | -1,010,728 | -1,192,663 |
| 8 | 15,273,246 | 14,173,481 | 15,361,859 | 0.93 | 0.92 | -1,099,765 | -1,188,378 |
| 9 | 15,563,150 | 14,291,669 | 15,493,823 | 0.92 | 0.92 | -1,271,481 | -1,202,154 |
| 10 | 16,320,366 | 14,348,916 | 15,547,752 | 0.88 | 0.92 | -1,971,450 | -1,198,836 |
| 11 | 16,672,469 | 14,405,457 | 15,874,255 | 0.86 | 0.91 | -2,267,012 | -1,468,798 |
| 12 | 16,986,773 | 14,845,382 | 15,913,854 | 0.87 | 0.93 | -2,141,
Taking into consideration the above status, compute the following
- Identify project status and all relevant information used to determine project status
- Identify two (2) distinct, feasible, and effective responses (active or passive) to control the schedule with justification
- Note: Changes/controls on one constraint will impact other constraints (recall lesson "Introduction to Project Management"). Response "feasibility" and "effectiveness" are evaluated based on how comprehensive the justification accounts for likely outcomes - both positive and negative.
- Recommend one (1) of the identified responses - the recommendation should be the "best" alternative to pursue, demonstrate high intellectual standards in critical thinking, and be supported with justification
