EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT ANALYS 1.ppt
- 1. 1 What Is It ? Why Do I Need It ? How Do I Do It? Earned Value Analysis
- 2. 2 Today’s Situation Need for accurate and consistent status information Numerous complex (and interrelated) projects Projects with many WBS activities Virtual offices Diverse technology platforms
- 3. 3 There’s Room For Improvement 70% of projects are: •Over budget •Behind schedule 52% of all projects finish at 189% of their initial budget And some, after huge investments of time and money, are simply never comple Source:The Standish Group
- 4. 4 How to answer the question: “Have we done what we said we’d do?” % complete estimating % of Budget spent % of work done % of time elapsed subjective, incomplete draws false conclusions
- 5. 5 Enter Earned Value Analysis “Earned Value Analysis” is: • an industry standard way to: • measure a project’s progress, • forecast its completion date and final cost, and • provide schedule and budget variances along the way. By integrating three measurements, it provides consistent, numerical indicators with which you can evaluate and compare projects.
- 6. 6 What’s more Important? Knowing where you are on schedule? Knowing where you are on budget? Knowing where you are on work accomplished?
- 7. 7 EVA Integrates All Three It compares the PLANNED amount of work with what has actually been COMPLETED, to determine if COST , SCHEDULE, and WORK ACCOMPLISHED are progressing as planned. Work is “Earned” or credited as it is completed.
- 8. 8 Earned Value needed because... Different measures of progress for different types of tasks Need to “roll up” progress of many tasks into an overall project status Need for a uniform unit of measure (dollars or work-hours).
- 9. 9 Earned Value needed because... Provides an “Early Warning” signal for prompt corrective action. Bad news does not age well. Still time to recover Timely request for additional funds
- 10. 10 And One More Reason Why You Need EVA ?
- 11. 11 Because You Gotta ! These Set the Stage: GPRA; 1993 FASA, Title V; 1994 Clinger-Cohen Act; 1996 And Then Along Came OMB! (Circular A-11, Part 7) "Agencies must use a performance based acquisition management system, based on ANSI/EIA Standard 748, to measure achievement of the cost, schedule, and performance goals."
- 12. 12 OK, So What Is This Stuff?
- 13. 13 So, Is This Stuff New ? It’s been around since the sixties. “Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria” (C/SCSC)
- 14. 14 Examples of informal Earned Value Analysis It’s done informally without realizing it. •30% time used, •30% $$ spent •So, if 30% of the work is done, I must be OK ?? •Shop floor estimates •Cost comparisons Budget vs. Actual
- 15. 15 How’s this project doing? 0 20000 40000 60000 80000 100000 120000 Jan-03 Feb-03 Mar-03 Apr-03 May-03 Jun-03 Jul-03 Aug-03 Sep-03 Oct-03 Nov-03 Dec-03 Projected Actual
- 16. 16 Let’s Take A Look Under The Hood
- 17. 17 But First! - We gotta get organized EVA works best when work is ‘compartmentalized’. Compartmentalization is best achieved with a well- planned Work Breakdown Structure. So, how do I create a WBS for a really complex project?
- 18. 18 Obviously in small bites. How am I gonna eat this elephant?
- 19. 19 Proper WBS Design One WBS per program • Deliverable-oriented • Work not in the WBS is out-of-scope • Each descending level represents more detail Full (and accurate) definition is key • Defined deliverable(s) • Timeframe for delivery of product • Total cost (direct and indirect) to deliver product Let’s Look at an example:
- 20. 20 A sample Work Breakdown Structure Serve Pizzas to Customers Provide the Place Cook the Food Serve Customers (Others) Cook the Sauce Make the Dough Build the Pizza
- 21. 21 WBS Units are “Work Packages” Lowest level WBS elements Have an accompanying narrative Have three measurable components • Scope of work to be accomplished • Total (direct and indirect) cost • Timeframe for completion
- 22. 22 Control Account Plans A CAP is essentially a Work Package with some added features: Assignment of responsibility • Organization • Individual Division (if necessary) into lower-level Work Packages. Metrics for measuring EV performance • Milestones • % complete • Other The sum of the CAPs constitutes the Performance Measurement Baseline
- 23. 23 EnoughWith the WBS Stuff Already ! We came here to talk about Earned Value.
- 24. 24 Some New Terms BCWS - Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled ACWP - Actual Cost of Work Performed BCWP - Budgeted Cost of Work Performed
- 25. 25 Earned Value Definitions BCWS: “Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled” Planned cost of the total amount of work scheduled to be performed by the milestone date.
- 26. 26 BCWS - Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled 0 20000 40000 60000 80000 100000 120000 Jan-03 Feb-03 Mar-03 Apr-03 May-03 Jun-03 Jul-03 Aug-03 Sep-03 Oct-03 Nov-03 Dec-03 BCWS
- 27. 27 Earned Value Definitions (cont.) ACWP: “Actual Cost of Work Performed” Cost incurred to accomplish the work that has been done to date.
- 28. 28 ACWP - Actual Cost of Work Performed 49000 56000 0 20000 40000 60000 80000 100000 120000 Jan-03 Feb-03 Mar-03 Apr-03 May-03 Jun-03 Jul-03 Aug-03 Sep-03 Oct-03 Nov-03 Dec-03 BCWP ACWP
- 29. 29 Earned Value Definitions (cont.) BCWP: Budgeted Cost of Work Performed The planned (not actual) cost to complete the work that has been done.
- 30. 30 BCWP - Budgeted Cost of Work Performed 49000 55000 0 20000 40000 60000 80000 100000 120000 Jan-03 Feb-03 Mar-03 Apr-03 May-03 Jun-03 Jul-03 Aug-03 Sep-03 Oct-03 Nov-03 Dec-03 BCWP BCWS
- 32. 32 Some Derived Metrics SV: Schedule Variance (BCWP-BCWS) A comparison of amount of work performed during a given period of time to what was scheduled to be performed. A negative variance means the project is behind schedule CV: Cost Variance (BCWP-ACWP) A comparison of the budgeted cost of work performed with actual cost. A negative variance means the project is over budget.
- 33. 33 Schedule Variance & Cost Variance Schedule Variance = BCWP-BCWS $49,000 - 55,000 SV = - $ 6,000 Cost Variance = BCWP-ACWP $49,000 56,000 CV = - $7,000
- 34. 34 SPI: Schedule Performance Index SPI=BCWP/BCWS SPI<1 means project is behind schedule CPI: Cost Performance Index CPI= BCWP/ACWP CPI<1 means project is over budget CSI: Cost Schedule Index (CSI=CPI x SPI) The further CSI is from 1.0, the less likely project recovery becomes. Some More Derived Metrics
- 35. 35 Performance Metrics SPI: BCWP/BCWS 49,000/55,000 = 0.891 CPI: BCWP/ACWP 49,000/56000 = 0.875 CSI: SPI x CPI .891 x .875 = 0.780
- 36. 36 Making Projections Once a project is 10% complete, the overrun at completion will not be less than the current overrun. Once a project is 20% complete, the CPI does not vary from its current value by more than 10%. The CPI and SPI are statistically accurate indicators of final cost results.

- 41. 41 Shortcomings of Earned Value Quantifying/measuring work progress can be difficult. Time required for data measurement, input, and manipulation can be considerable.
- 42. 42 Summary EVA & EVMS will help reduce guesswork in: Measuring performance forecasting Need to get beyond misleading measures of progress. Reasons to use EVA and EVMS: Good project management practice OMB requirement Incorporate into contracts
