Unit 8 Managing and Monitoring the Project Schedule
Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is a powerful technique used in project management to measure
project performance and progress. It integrates cost, schedule, and scope to provide insights into
the project's health. Here's how you can conduct Earned Value Analysis for the installation of a
transformer:
A. Define Key Metrics: Identify the key performance metrics for the project, including the
planned value (PV), earned value (EV), and actual cost (AC). PV represents the budgeted
cost of work scheduled, EV represents the budgeted cost of work performed, and AC
represents the actual cost of work performed.
B. Baseline Schedule and Budget: Establish a baseline schedule and budget for the project,
detailing the planned duration and cost for each task and milestone, including the
installation of the transformer.
C. Measure Progress: Regularly track progress against the baseline schedule and budget.
Determine the percentage of completion for each task and milestone related to the
installation of the transformer.
D. Calculate Earned Value (EV): Determine the earned value (EV) by multiplying the
percentage of completion of each task by its budgeted cost. Sum up the EV for all
completed tasks related to the transformer installation.
E. Calculate Actual Cost (AC): Determine the actual cost (AC) incurred for the work
performed on the transformer installation. This includes labor costs, material costs,
equipment costs, and any other relevant expenses.
F. Calculate Schedule Variance (SV): Calculate the schedule variance (SV) to measure the
variance between the earned value (EV) and the planned value (PV). A positive SV
indicates that the project is ahead of schedule, while a negative SV indicates that the
project is behind schedule.
G. Calculate Cost Variance (CV): Calculate the cost variance (CV) to measure the variance
between the earned value (EV) and the actual cost (AC). A positive CV indicates that the
project is under budget, while a negative CV indicates that the project is over budget.
H. Calculate Schedule Performance Index (SPI): Calculate the schedule performance index
(SPI) to measure the efficiency of the project schedule. SPI greater than 1 indicates ahead
of schedule performance, while SPI less than 1 indicates behind schedule performance.
I. Calculate Cost Performance Index (CPI): Calculate the cost performance index (CPI) to
measure the efficiency of the project budget. CPI greater than 1 indicates under budget
performance, while CPI less than 1 indicates over budget performance.
J. Analyse and Interpret Results: Analyze the results of the Earned Value Analysis to assess
the project's performance, identify trends, and determine if corrective actions are needed
to bring the project back on track. Communicate the findings with stakeholders and make
adjustments to the project plan as necessary.
By conducting Earned Value Analysis for the installation of a transformer, you can gain valuable
insights into the project's schedule and budget performance, enabling you to make informed
decisions and effectively manage the project to successful completion.
