What is BAC - Budget at Completion (the budget)

The total BUDGET of the TOTAL project

 

Card : 11

What is PV - Planned Value -

The estimated value of work planned to be done as of today

 

Card : 12

What is EV - Earned Value 

The estimated value of work actually accomplished as of today

 

Card : 13

What is  AC - Actual Cost (total cost) -

What is  AC - Actual Cost (total cost) -

What is EAC - Estimate at Completion

A current forecast of total project cost

 

Card : 15

What is ETC - Estimate to Complete -

An estimate of additional cost required to finish the project (a forecast)

Card : 17

What is Cost variance (CV)

The amount of budget deficit or surplus at a given time, expressed as the difference between the earned value and actual cost

                      CV = EV – AC

 

Card : 18

Interpretation of Results

  • If SV is negative, the task is behind schedule.
  • If SV is zero, the task is on schedule
  • If SV is positive, the task is ahead of schedule.

 

Card : 21

What is variance at completion (VAC)

  The projection of budget deficit or surplus at the project completion,

  It is difference between the Budget at completion and the estimate of completion

 

Card : 22

What is Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS)

 The authorized, time-phased budget assigned to accomplish the scheduled work.

 

Card : 23

What is Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP):

  The measure of work performed at a specific point in time, expressed in terms of the approved budget authorized for that work.

 

Card : 24

What is Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP)

            ACWP is not rocket science.  It is simply the cost of the work to date.

 

Card : 25

What is Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP)

            ACWP is not rocket science.  It is simply the cost of the work to date.
