Projected Effort Variance and Projected Effort Variance % are installed with the PMO Accelerator:

Projected Effort Variance

Displays the variance between EAC effort and baseline effort.

Formula: (EAC Effort – BAC Effort)

Projected Effort Variance %

Displays a stoplight indicating the projected effort variance as a percentage of BAC effort.

Formula: ( (EAC Effort – BAC Effort) / BAC Effort) * 100

Stoplights:

Green. The EAC effort is less than or equal to the baseline.

Yellow. The EAC effort is between one and ten percent over the baseline.

Red. The EAC effort is more than ten percent over the baseline.

White. No baseline data exists.

Performance Cost

This section includes: Planned Value (BCWS), Earned Value (BCWP), Actual Cost (ACWP), BAC Cost, ETC Cost, EAC Cost, Projected Cost Variance, Projected Cost Variance %, Cost Variance (CV), Schedule Variance (SV), Cost Variance %, Schedule Variance %, Cost Performance Index (CPI), and Schedule Performance Index (SPI).

Projected Cost Variance, Projected Cost Variance %, Cost Variance %, and Schedule Variance % are installed with the PMO Accelerator.

Projected Cost Variance

Displays the variance between the estimated plus actual cost and the baseline cost.

Formula: ( (ETC Cost + Actual Cost (ACWP)) - BAC Cost)

Projected Cost Variance %

Displays a stoplight indicating the projected cost variance as a percentage of BAC cost.

Formula: ( ( (ETC Cost + Actual Cost (ACWP)) - BAC Cost) / BAC Cost) * 100

Stoplights:

Green. The EAC cost is less than or equal to the baseline.

Yellow. The EAC cost is between one and ten percent over baseline.

Red. The EAC cost is more than ten percent over baseline.

White. No baseline data exists.

Cost Variance %

Displays cost variance as a percentage. The variance is calculated as the percentage of cost variance over the amount of the budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP).

Formula: ((BCWP – ACWP) / BCWP) * 100

Schedule Variance %

Displays schedule variance as a percentage. The variance is calculated as the percentage of schedule variance over the amount of the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS).

Formula: ((BCWP – BCWS) / BCWS) *100
