Earned value (EV) is the value of work performed expressed in terms of the approved budget assigned to that work for a scheduled activity or work breakdown structure. Earned value is also referred to as the budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP).
The earned value reporting period defines the frequency and the interval for the Update Earned Value History job to take historical earned value snapshots of performance and save snapshot in the earned value history table. When using earned value methodologies to analyze project performance, the earned value reporting period is used by the job to take the snapshot and is saved based on a project's association to the period. The project manager associates the project to the appropriate period. You must associate a reporting period to the project. You can use the EV data to review historical performance and to predict future performance.
