Frequently Asked Questions

What does a CPI of 0.8 mean?+
It means for every $1 spent, you are only getting $0.80 worth of work; you are currently over budget.
How is Earned Value (EV) determined?+
It is the value of the work actually completed to date, based on the original budget assigned to that work.
Why is EVM better than just tracking spend?+
Because it links progress to cost, telling you if you're actually getting what you paid for on schedule.
