Earned value analysis is an industry standard designed to help project managers quantify project performance through:
| • | Measuring project performance and progress |
| • | Analyzing schedule and budget variances |
| • | Forecasting schedule and cost overruns |
Available in Primavera Unifier’s standard projects and WBS-based shells, you can create any number of earned value sheets. Data collection sources are cost or schedule sheets, and each have different settings and prerequisites.
When the source is a cost sheet:
| • | Primavera Unifier uses budget information from a WBS cash flow curve to calculate a BCWS curve. |
When the source is the schedule manager:
| • | The detail-level selection display schedule sheet activity progress. |
| • | The summary-level selection compares rows from other earned value sheets. |
| • | Primavera Unifier users progress dates to calculate BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, and EAC. |
| • | Progress dates are calculated as of the current date. In a schedule imported from Primavera, Primavera Unifier honors the Current Data Date entry as the latest progress date. This date may be a future date that you might use in project modeling. Primavera Unifier will calculate curves up to the entered date. |
