Cost and Usage Data from Baselines (Investment)

The following columns on the baseline properties page of an investment indicate the work allocation and cost information at the time of the baseline:

• Usage. Total effort (actuals plus remaining ETC) to date.
• BCWP. Budgeted Cost of Work Performed to date. This value is calculated based on the cost/rate matrices that have been applied to the investment.

You can use baselines to perform an Earned Value Analysis (EVA) on investment performance. An EVA tells you how much effort you have spent to date on the investment.

Important! Assign a cost/rate matrix to your investment for planned cost of work performed (BWCP) and earned value data to be visible.
