Earn Value Managment : Cost Management

Earn Value Management determine the health of the project. 3 things are the main component of  EVM.

1.Status - Delay of the project
2.Progress- run rate of the project
3.Forecast

In this every thing is calculated in Money

Three Key Variables
Planned Value :  PV - Budgeted cost for the work that should be done at a given time.
Earned Value :  EV :  Budgeted amount for the work that has been accomplished ( measured at the same point in time as PV)
Actual cost :  AC : Actual or total cost incurred in doing the work thus far.

Example of Earned Value Management 

Project :  Build a privacy fence at a cost of $100 per section


Today
Value
Acronym
Plan = 6 section
$600
Planned Value (PV)
Built only 5 section
$500
Earned Value (EV)
Actual Cost
$650
Actual Cost (AC)
Cost Variance :  EV less AC = 500-650=$150 (cost overrun)
Schedule variance :  EV less PV = 500-600=-$100 ( behind schedule )




BAC - Budgeted at completion
VAC- Variance at completion
