18
Q

Cost Performance Index

A

Earned Value divided by Actual Cost

EV / AC

19
Q

Estimate to Completion

A

Estimate at Completion minus Actual Cost

ETC = EAC - AC

20
Q

Estimate at Completion

if future work is performed at planned rate

A

Actual Cost plus Budget at Completion minus Earned Value

EAC = AC + ( BAC - EV)

21
Q

Schedule Performance Index

A

Earned Value divided by Planned Value

EV / PV

22
Q

Variance at Completion

A

Budget at Completion minus Estimate at Completion

BAC - EAC

23
Q

Estimate at Completion

if past CPI is expected to continue

A

EAC = BAC / CPI

24
Q

Estimate at Completion

if both CPI and SPI influence remaining work

A

EAC = AC + (BAC - EV/(CPI * SPI )

25
Q

Estimate at Completion

if initial plan is no longer valid

A

EAC = AC + Bottom up Estimate

26
Q

To Completion Performance Index TCPI

if project is within budget

A

TCPI = ( BAC - EV ) / ( BAC - AC )

27
Q

To Completion Performance Index TCPI

if project is over budget

A

TCPI = ( BAC - EV ) / ( EAC - AC )
