id=\"How_do_you_perform_an_earned_value_analysis\"><\/span>How do you perform an earned value analysis?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1. Define the input variables (planned total project cost and project duration)<\/h3>\n<p>These figures are derived from the project structure plan and the cost estimate. During the project, you can use this information to calculate and analyze the key performance indicators at any time you choose\u2014for example, once a month on a set date. <\/p>\n<h3>2. Determine planned expenses, actual costs, and earned value as of the current reporting date<\/h3>\n<p>In order to determine the earned value, you first need the percentage of completion. This can be calculated in different ways. Use your experience to decide which form is appropriate for your particular project or activity.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Percentage of Completion:<\/strong> With this option, your employees estimate their progress and express it as a percentage. However, take these estimates with a grain of salt, as people tend to overestimate the amount of work they have completed. <\/li>\n<li><strong>0\/100 Rule:<\/strong> Under this rule, only completed activities are included in the calculation at 100 percent. All other activities are assigned a 0 percent weight. This variant is particularly suitable for short-term activities and projects with short reporting cycles, as well as for activities with uncertain outcomes. Since the degree of completion is consistently underestimated in this method, it is a safe approach.   <\/li>\n<li><strong>25\/75 rule:<\/strong> Here, each activity started is valued at 25 per cent and only when it is completed is the remaining 75 per cent added. This mitigates the 0\/100 rule. <\/li>\n<li><strong>50\/50 rule:<\/strong> A started activity is always valued at 50 per cent. This means that the first half of the activity is overrated and the second half is underrated. This rule is particularly suitable for short activities that are started and finished within two consecutive reporting periods.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Calculate cost and schedule variance<\/h3>\n<p>Negative values indicate that you are exceeding the planned costs or that the project is behind schedule If the values are positive, then the project has so far incurred fewer costs than planned or the project has progressed faster. <\/p>\n<h3>4. Calculate CPI and SPI performance indices<\/h3>\n<p>Schedule deviation relative to the project scope to date.  <br \/>For the CPI (Cost Performance Index), a value less than 1 indicates that work completed to date has incurred higher costs than planned. If the value is exactly 1, your project is exactly on schedule. Conversely, values greater than 1 indicate that you have saved costs.    <br \/>The same applies to the SPI (Time Efficiency): If the value is less than 1, your project is behind schedule. A value of 1 means the project is exactly on schedule, and a value greater than 1 means the project is progressing faster than planned. <\/p>\n<h3>5. Calculate projected project costs using the CPI<\/h3>\n<p>Usually two values are calculated for this under different assumptions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Assumption that future measures will be effective:<\/strong> If you assume that no further deviations from the plan will occur, then the estimated total cost (Estimate at Completion = EAC) is the sum of your costs to date and the remaining planned costs.<br \/>EAC = AC + (PV \u2013 EV)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming the CPI remains constant: If<\/strong> you assume that the error in cost planning persists, calculate the EAC by applying the current CPI to the entire project estimate.<br \/>EAC = PV \/ CPI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>6. Calculate estimated values for the project duration<\/h3>\n<p>The simplest way to forecast the project duration is to divide the originally planned duration by the calculated SPI. However, this calculation only gives a rough estimate and is not very reliable because it does not take into account interdependencies between activities and, for example, resource availability. You will get more reliable forecasts, if you carry out a forecast in combination with the network planning technique or the <a href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/2022\/02\/16\/projektmanagement-abc-c-wie-critical-path\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Go to the blog post on the critical path\">critical path method<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<h3>7. Interpreting Calculated Metrics<\/h3>\n<p>Visual representations are usually easier to understand and more clear than tables. For this reason, you can also display the trends in values over time using line charts. The trend of the lines makes it clear at a glance to you and anyone to whom you present the analysis whether the planned and actual production figures match and how costs and deadlines are holding up. You can also use such a chart to assess the effectiveness of control measures you have implemented in the past.   <\/p>\n<h3>8.
