    Your best bet is to search

    Your best bet is to search the internet to be honest for Earned Value

    The trick with EV is that you need to understand exactly what you are trying to acheive before trying to implenment it

    Take a look at this website Bluevisions

    and read, Asessing the Performance of Road Construction Projects

     

    Good luck

    Hi Guys,   I am new in this

     

    Hi Guys,
     
    I am new in this site. I never thought a site like this actually exist. and it feels good.. because most of the time projects here in the Philippines only have one planner in a project. And ihave no one to talk on matters in planning and scheduling. Specially if your counter part in the contractor side don't know how to speak English(pure chinesewho needs interpreter).
     
    Anyway, I am a Planner by accident, because our planner suddenly took another job. And I filled the shoes. Nevertheless, I had always been in Project Management, Project Coordination and Control. Also taking up Master's degree in Management.
    EventhoughPrimavera is just a tool, its was hard to start . Started from scratch a year ago (with no formal training), and as of now ifeel imdoing progress. But I have no one to compare with.
    That's why I hope ican learn much from here.
     
    First:

    Cost Variance (CV); CV=EV-CV>0, spending less than planned

    Whereas; 

    Earned Value (EV)   = Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP)

      = Budget X Work Performed

     

    Actual Cost (AC)  = Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP)

      = Actual Cost to Date

      (Payment and Billing Status) 

     

    Schedule Variance (SV); SV=EV-PV>0, ahead of schedule

    Whereas; 

    Earned Value (EV)   = Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP)

      = Budget X Work Performed

     

    Planned Value (PV)  = Budgeted Cost of Work Schedule (BCWS)

      = Budget X Scheduled Work to Complete   

     

    Hope this helps

     I hope you guys would be helpful for issues i might raise.. more power to all.

    Hi Geoffrey, You may want to

    Hi Geoffrey, 

    You may want to try our software, Acumen Fuse, which can calculate EV, SV, CV etc. for the project as a whole, or for specific groupings of activities (such as WBS or Resource) or specific phases.  See the screenshot below or download a free trial at www.projectacumen.com/fuse.

    Geoffrey, In P6 first set

    Geoffrey,

     

    In P6 first set your Earned Value Calculations settings correctly on the EV calcs tab on the projects screen.  Depending on the WBS section you are selecting, will drive which option you choose.  For instance, LOE's require the use of the ETC=remaing cost option.  This is because LOEs should only earn a 1 for 1.  They should never be ahead or behind in performance.  Other WBS sections such as discrete engineering activities will need one of the others.  Unless, you can get remaining hours per role, per activity, from your PMs this is the typical way of setting it up. 

    Next make sure you've budgeted down to the activity level.  This provides a more accurate spread of costs over time.  I would recommend each discrete engineering type of activity to be set to physical % complete which is based upon some measurable methodology.  Ensure your planned start and finish for resources matches the start and finish for the activities.  Otherwise you'll have some strange looking S-curves later on and you'll be wondering why.

    Then once fully resource loaded you can baseline the schedule.  I like to make a copy of the schedule baseline and place it in a separate node for backup and baseline review purposes.  Also export the baseline out just for safe keeping.

    You can either collect actual costs at the activity level or at the WBS level.  If you choose the latter option, just keep in mind your Earned Value will only roll up the WBS level.  This is due to not having your actual costs at the same level as your budget. Collect and enter all schedule status and properly status the LOEs. Review your EV, ETC, EAC, VAR, SPI and CPI for quality. Doing this will reveal many mistakes in reporting.

    Create EV layouts using the earned value columns and fields and you're done!

    Thanks,

    Scott Chumley, PMP
