Question 1
The Starbuzz across the street opened just a few months ago. Alice sits
down with the contractor who did the work there and asks him to help her
figure out how much it will cost. He takes a look at the equipment Charles
and Jeff want to buy and the specs for the cabinets and seating and tells
her what she can afford to do with the budget she has.

Alice creates a spreadsheet with all of the historical information from
similar remodeling projects that have happened on her block. She sits down
and types in the guys’ desired furnishings and the square footage of the
room to generate an estimated cost.

Before Alice finishes her schedule, she gathers all of the information she has
about previous projects’ costs (like how much labor and materials cost). She
also talks to a contractor, who gives valuable input.

Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)
When you make an estimate really
early in the project and
you don’t know much about it, that
estimate is called a
Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)
estimate, or a
ballpark estimate.

Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
16. Dr.AtifShahzad
Benefit cost ratio (BCR)
Amount of money a project is
going to make versus how much
it will cost to build it.
Generally, if the benefit is higher than the
cost, the project is a good investment.
10–16
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
17. Dr.AtifShahzad
Net present value (NPV)
Actual value at a given time of the
project minus all of the costs associated
with it.
This includes the time it takes to build it and
labor as well as materials.
People calculate this number to see if it’s
worth doing a project.
10–17
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
18. Dr.AtifShahzad
Opportunity Cost
It’s the money you don’t get
because you chose not to do a
project.
When an organization has to choose between two
projects, they are always giving up the money they
would have made on the one they don’t do.
That’s called opportunity cost.
10–18
19. Dr.AtifShahzad
Internal rate of return (IRR)
Amount of money the project will
return to the company that is funding
it.
It’s how much money a project is making.
It’s usually expressed as a percentage of
the funding that has been allocated to it.
10–19
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
20. Dr.AtifShahzad
Depreciation
Rate at which your project loses value
over time.
So, if you are building a project that will only be
marketable at a high price for a short period of
time, the product loses value as time goes on.

21. Dr.AtifShahzad
Lifecycle Costing
Before you get started on a project,
it’s really useful to figure out how much
you expect it to cost—not just to
develop, but to support the product
once it’s in place and being used by
the customer.

Here’s where you measure how
your project is doing compared
to the plan.This involves using
theearned value formulas to
assess your project.
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
25. Dr.AtifShahzad
Budget at completion (BAC)
Total budget that you have for your
project—how much you plan to spend on
your project.
Once you add up all of the costs for every
activity and resource, you’ll get a final number...
and that’s the total project budget.
If you only have a certain amount of money to
spend, you’d better make sure that you haven’t
gone over!
10–25

26. Dr.AtifShahzad
Planned % Complete
If the schedule says that your team should
have done 300 hours of work so far, and
they will work a total of 1,000 hours on the
project, then your Planned % Complete is
30%.
10–26
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
27. Dr.AtifShahzad
Planned value (PV)
How much of your budget you planned
on using so far.
If you look at your schedule and see
that you’re supposed to have done a
certain percentage of the work, then
that’s the percent of the total budget
that you’ve “earned” so far.
10–27
PV=BAC x Planned % Complete
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
28. Dr.AtifShahzad
Planned value (PV)
How much of your budget you planned
on using so far.
If the BAC is $200,000, and the schedule says your Planned % Complete is
30%, then the Planned Value is $200,000 × 30% = $60,000.
10–28
PV=BAC x Planned % Complete
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
29. Dr.AtifShahzad
Net present value (NPV)
Dollar value at a given time of the project
minus all of the costs associated with it(as
per schedule).
This includes the time it takes to build it and
labor as well as materials.
People calculate this number to see if it’s
worth doing a project.
BAC x Planned % Complete = NPV
10–29
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
30. Dr.AtifShahzad
Earned Value (EV)
How much of your project’s value has
been delivered to the customer so far.
You can do this by comparing the value of
what your schedule says you should have
delivered against the value of what you
actually delivered.
10–30
32. Dr.AtifShahzad
Actual % Complete
Say the schedule says that your team should
have done 300 hours of work so far, out of
a total of 1,000.
But you talk to your team and find out they
actually completed 35% of the work.
That means the actual % complete is 35%.
10–32
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
34. Dr.AtifShahzad
Earned Value
Think about your project the way your
sponsor thinks about it. If you put yourself
into the sponsor’s shoes, you’ll see that this
stuff actually makes sense!
10–34
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
36. Dr.AtifShahzad
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
If you want to know whether you’re ahead of
or behind schedule, use SPIs.
The key to using this is that when you’re ahead
of schedule, you’ve earned more value than
planned! So EV will be bigger than PV.
𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 =
𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃
10–36
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
37. Dr.AtifShahzad
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
If SPI is less than one, then
you’re behind schedule
because the amount you’ve actually worked (EV)
is less than what you’d planned (PV).
10–37
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
40. Dr.AtifShahzad
Schedule Variance (SV)
The bigger the difference between
¤what you planned and
¤what you actually earned,
the bigger the variance.
𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 = 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 − 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃
10–40
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
43. Dr.AtifShahzad
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
If you want to know whether you’re over
or under budget, use CPI.

𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
10–43
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
44. Dr.AtifShahzad
Cost Variance (CV)
If you want to know how much under or
over budget you are, just take AC away
from EV.
This tells you the difference between what you
planned on spending and what you actually
spent.
𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 = 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 − 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
10–44
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017

To-Complete Performance Index
(BAC based TCPI)
How well your project will need to
perform to stay on your original budget.
𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 =
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵−𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵−𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
10–47

To-Complete Performance Index
(EAC based TCPI)
How well your project will need to
perform to stay on estimated at
completion budget.
𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 =
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵−𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸−𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
10–48
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
48. Dr.AtifShahzad
You’re within your budget if...
CPI is greater than or equal to 1
and CV is positive.
When this happens, your actual costs are less than Earned
Value, which means the project is delivering more value
than it costs.
10–49
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
49. Dr.AtifShahzad
You’ve blown your budget if...
CPI is less than 1 and CV is
negative.
When your actual costs are more than
earned value, that means that your
sponsor is not getting his money’s
worth of value from the project.
10–50
Dr.AtifShahzad19-10-2017
52. Dr.AtifShahzad
Estimate at Completion (EAC).
If you know your CPI now, you can use it to predict
what your project will actually cost when it’s complete.
Let’s say that you’re managing a project with a CPI of 0.8
today. If you assume that the CPI will be 0.8 for the rest of the
project—and that’s not an unreasonable assumption when
you’re far along in the project work—then you can predict
your total costs when the project is complete.

Estimate to Complete (ETC)
Since EAC predicts how much money
you’ll probably spend,
if you subtract the AC, you’ll find out
how much money the rest of the
project will end up costing.

your budget, the VAC will be
negative… just like CV and SV!

QUESTION 1
You are the project manager at an industrial design firm. You expect
to spend a total of $55,000 on your current project. Your plan calls
for six people working on the project eight hours a day, five days a
week for four weeks. According to the schedule, your team should
have just finished the third week of the project.
When you review what the team has done so far, you find that they
have completed 50% of the work, at a cost of $25,000. Based on
this information, calculate the Earned Value numbers:
BAC,AC,SV,SPI
PV,EV,CV,CPI

QUESTION 2
Your current project is an $800,000 software development
effort, with two teams of programmers that will work for six
months, at a total of 10,000 hours. According to the project
schedule, your team should be done with 38% of the work.
You find that the project is currently 40% complete. You’ve
spent 50% of the budget so far. Calculate these numbers:
BAC,AC,SV,SPI
PV,EV,CV,CPI
