• Several indicators which help to keep a track on the progress of the project
• Knowing your CPI shows whether you are operating within budget or need to come up with cost saving
measures.
• The cost performance index (CPI) is a measure of the
financial effectiveness and efficiency of a project. It represents the amount
of completed work for every unit of cost spent.
• For Example:
If a project has a earned value (EV) of Rs.200000 but actual costs (AC) were Rs.
120000
Then, CPI = EV / AC = 200000 / 120000 = 1.66
• Significance of CPI:
a) If the ratio has a value higher than 1 then it indicates the project is performing well
against the budget.
b) A CPI of 1 means that the project is performing on budget.
c) A CPI of less than 1 means that the project is over budget.
Therefore in above example CPI is 1.66,Hence project is performing well.
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
• Schedule performance index (SPI) is part of a greater project performance measurement method called
earned value management (EVM).
• Schedule performance index (SPI) is a measure of how close the project is to being completed compared to
the schedule.
• This index ratio it is calculated by dividing the budgeted cost of work performed, or earned value, by the
planned value.
• Falling behind schedule is one of the top causes of project failure, and creating an SPI is a simple way to be
proactive.
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
• For example:
• A project has a budgeted cost of Rs 120,000. According to the schedule, 15% of the
project should have been completed after one month (planned value). That is Rs
120,000 x 15 / 100 = Rs 18,000.But after a month, only 12% of the project has
actually been completed (earned value). That is Rs 120,000 x 12 / 100 = Rs14,400.
• SPI = Earned Value / Planned Values = 14,400 / 18,000 = 0.8
• This means that for every estimated hour of work, the project team is only
completing 0.8 hours (just over 45 minutes).
• Significance
1. SPI > 1: Project is ahead of schedule; more work has been completed than
expected
2. SPI < 1: Project is behind schedule; less work has been done than planned
3. SPI = 1: Project is on schedule; earned value and planned value are equal
