Issues with Earned Value Labour UNits

Ron,

Do you have a baseline set? Does the activity have budgeted labour units in the baseline schedule?

Eanred value is %complete x baseline budgeted units

Yes there is a baseline

Ron

Mr. Gary is correct. you should check baseline assign or not.

Ron,

Go to Project > Assign Baselines and set the Project Baseline to "Current Project". -Does the offending activity have an earned value now?

If yes, it means the activity in the baseline project you were using doesn't have any labour units assigned -probably the resource was added after the baseline was taken.

If no, I'm not sure what's going on -is it just the one activity that isn't behaving, or is this the same across the entire project?

Hi Ron,

I support Gary's argument that the resource was assigned after baseline was assigned. Please check your baseline and confirm.

Regards

Amit

Ron,

It's also worth checking you are happy with the Earned Value settings under Admin > Admin Preferences > Earned Value.

It doesn't sound like this is the problem, but it might be if you have some funny settings turned on like use WBS milestones to calculate % complete.

As you pointed out earlier the baseline needs to be set properly something that on the project in question it was not.   Anyway thanks for your help and if I have any problems this is the best place for Feedback as there is always someone who has come across the problem or has the solution

Again Thanks
