Data Required for Earned Value Analysis

To perform optimal earned value analysis, you must enter valid project data. Certain variance formulas compare current data against baseline data. You can add EVA fields to a spreadsheet view to ensure the accuracy of the data. Use the View Definition dialog box to add EVA fields and columns to a view. You can add the Assignment Actuals field to the spreadsheet view to define a resource's actuals.

Note: Open Workbench can only compute these variances if you have set a baseline of task data.

Enter the following earned value data in your project:

• Project's as-of date
• Resource's actuals

  Note: If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, record the resource's actuals in CA Clarity PPM.

• Resource's ETC
• Resource's billing rate

  Note: If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, define the resource’s billing rate in the rate matrix.

• Task's percent complete
