Planned Value Cost The cost of the work that should have been accomplished as of the data date, if the project had proceeded according to the baseline plan. Planned Value Cost = Budget At Completion * Schedule % Complete
Schedule % Complete specifies how much of an activitys baseline duration has been complete so far.

Earned Value Cost Earned Value Cost is the monetary value of the work performed by a resource as of the data date. Earned Value Cost = Budget At Completion * Performance % Complete
The method for computing performance percent complete depends on the earned value technique selected at the WBS level.
12-2
Actual Cost Actual Cost is the actual total cost incurred for the work accomplished as of the data date. Actual Cost = Actual Labor Cost + Actual Nonlabor Cost + Actual Expense Cost
Actual Cost is the same as the Actual Total Cost.
Performance % Complete
Performance % Complete can be different from the Activity % Complete depending on the technique used to compute it. These techniques are set at the WBS level.

0/100
Calculated as 0% after an actual start is assigned, then as 100% after an actual finish is assigned

Weighted Milestones
Weighted milestones can be used when higher-level task increments comprise a body of activities and you want to control the activities at the WBS level. When you assign weights to the WBS milestones, the completion of each specific milestone is used to calculate the performance percent complete of the WBS.

Cost Performance Index (CPI) Relates the amount of physical earned value accomplished against the dollars actually spent to accomplish the earned value CPI = Earned Value Cost / Actual Cost
A value of less than one (1) indicates that actual costs have exceeded the value of the work performed.
12-17
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) Relates the amount of physical earned value accomplished against the work that was planned SPI = Earned Value Cost / Planned Value Cost
A value of less than one (1) indicates that less work was actually performed than was scheduled.

Performance Factor
Performance Factor = 1
ETC = Budget at Completion Earned Value Cost Yields an optimistic result
Performance Factor
Performance Factor = ___
ETC = Performance Factor * (Budget at Completion Earned Value Cost) Calculated according to a Performance Factor that you specify
12-20
Remaining Cost This is the system default and calculates ETC based on the remaining units. This calculation does not take a schedule delay or overspending into consideration.
Historical evidence shows that these trends do not correct themselves over time; they tend to get worse.
12-21
Using CPI to Calculate ETC Represents a reliable indicator of the minimum total required costs
Viewed as the very best the project will do based on its history
12-22
Using CPI and SPI to Calculate ETC Represents a reliable indicator of the maximum total required costs Incorporates the cost overrun to date with a behind-schedule condition to produce a more severe statistical forecast
Viewed as the very worst the project will do based on its history
