The Earned Value Analysis node (Earned Value Manager module > Earned Value Analysis node) in Unifier is based on the scheduling set of data (activities and rates) imported from P6 through integration. The Earned Value Analysis node allows you to:
- Perform earned value analysis corresponding to the activity sheet in a shell.
- Run the earned value analysis of cost loaded projects directly.
Note: For resource-loaded projects, you must calculate resource and role rates before analyzing earned value and other matrices.
Planned Value (PV), Actual Value (AC) and Earned Value (EV) are required to calculate variances, indexes, and at completion project values. Unifier performs all calculations in the Activity Sheet and rolls up the values to the Earned Value Analysis scenario. The values corresponding to each project, WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) or CBS (Cost Breakdown Structure) are used to plot different graphs, thus providing a visual way to determine the health of projects, and Forecast future outcomes based on the performance indexes.
Earned Value metrics can be categorized as under:
