Earned Value Columns of the Activity Table
Accounting Variance field
The difference between the planned value of work scheduled and the actual cost of work performed.
A negative value indicates that actual costs have exceeded the scheduled costs.
Calculated as Planned Value minus Actual Cost.
Accounting Variance - Labor Units field
The difference between the planned value of work scheduled and the actual work performed.
A negative value indicates that actual costs have exceeded the scheduled costs.
Calculated as Planned Value Labor Units minus Actual Units.
Budget At Completion field
The planned total cost through activity completion.
Calculated as Planned Labor Cost plus Planned Nonlabor Cost plus Planned Expense Cost and Planned Material Cost.
Budget At Completion - Labor Units field
The planned total cost for labor units through activity completion.
Cost Performance Index field
A measure of the value of work accomplished as a percentage of the actual costs of an activity or WBS.
Cost Performance Index (CPI) indicates whether you have spent money over the budget to date.
On the My Preferences page, you can set performance thresholds for CPI calculated values to determine whether you need to take corrective action.
Calculated as Earned Value Cost divided by Actual Cost. A value less than 1 indicates that the actual cost has exceeded the planned value.
Cost Performance Index - Labor Units field
A measure of work efficiency on a WBS or activity.
Calculated as Earned Value Labor Units divided by Actual Labor Units. A value less than 1 indicates that the actual units have exceeded the planned units.
Cost Variance field
A measure of cost performance on an activity or WBS.
A negative value indicates that the actual cost has exceeded the planned value.
Calculated as Earned Value minus Actual Cost.
Cost Variance - Labor Units field
The difference between the earned value labor units and the actual value labor units.
A negative value indicates that actual costs have exceeded the value of work performed.
Calculated as Earned Value Labor Units minus Actual Labor Units.
Cost Variance Index field
The ratio of the cost variance and the earned value of work performed on the WBS or activity.
Calculated as Cost Variance divided by Earned Value.
Cost Variance Index - Labor Units field
The ratio of the cost variance labor units and the earned value labor units for the activity or WBS.
Calculated as Cost Variance Labor Units divided by Earned Value Labor Units.
Earned Value Cost field
The portion of the baseline total cost of the activity that is actually completed as of the project data date.
Budget at completion is calculated from the baseline.
Calculated as Budget At Completion multiplied by Performance Percent Complete. The method for computing performance percent complete depends on the Earned Value technique selected for the activity's WBS.
Earned Value Labor Units field
The portion of baseline labor units that are complete as of the project data date.
Activity Level:
Calculated as BL Project Labor Units or BL1 Labor Units, depending on project settings, multiplied by Performance % Complete.
WBS Level:
Calculated as BL Project Labor Units multiplied by Performance % Complete.
Estimate At Completion - Labor Units field
The estimated labor units at completion of the activity.
Calculated as Actual Labor Units plus Estimate to Complete Labor Units. The Estimate to Complete Labor Units calculation is based off of the earned value setting for the WBS.
Estimate At Completion Cost field
The expected total cost of a schedule activity, a work breakdown structure component, or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed.
Calculated as Actual Cost plus Estimate to Complete Cost. The method for calculating estimate to complete depends on the earned value technique selected for the activity's WBS.
Estimate To Complete field
The estimated cost to complete the activity or WBS.
Calculated as either the Remaining Total Cost for the activity, or as Performance Factor multiplied by (Budget At Completion minus Earned Value), depending on the earned-value technique selected for the activity's WBS. Budget at completion is calculated from the project baseline.
Estimate To Complete Labor Units field
The estimated quantity to complete the activity or WBS.
Calculated as either the Remaining Total Units for the activity or as Performance Factor multiplied by (BL Labor Units minus Earned Value) depending on the earned-value technique selected for the activity's WBS.
Planned Value Cost field
The portion of the baseline total cost of the activity that is scheduled to be completed as of the project data date.
Also known as the work scheduled to be performed for the activity. The schedule percent complete specifies how much of the activity's project baseline duration has been completed so far. Budget at completion is calculated from the baseline.
Calculated as Budget At Completion multiplied by Schedule Percent Complete.
Planned Value Labor Units field
The product of the budget at completion and the schedule percent complete.
The schedule percent complete specifies how much of the activity's baseline duration has been completed so far. Budget at completion is calculated from the baseline.
Calculated as Budget At Completion multiplied by Schedule Percent Complete.
Schedule Performance Index field
A measure of the work accomplished as a percentage of the work scheduled.
Schedule Performance Index indicates whether you are meeting earned and planned values within your schedule. A value less than 1 indicates that less work was performed than was scheduled.
Calculated as Earned Value divided by Planned Value.
Schedule Performance Index - Labor Units field
The ratio of the earned value of labor units to the planned value of labor units.
Calculated as Earned Value Labor Units divided by Planned Value Labor Units.
Schedule Variance field
The measure of schedule performance on a project.
A negative value indicates that less work was actually performed than was scheduled.
Calculated as Earned Value minus Planned Value.
Schedule Variance - Labor Units field
The difference between the earned value of work performed and the work scheduled to be performed.
Calculated as Earned Value Labor Units minus Planned Value Labor Units.
Schedule Variance Index field
The ratio of the schedule variance and the work scheduled to be performed.
Calculated as Schedule Variance divided by Planned Value.
Schedule Variance Index - Labor Units field
The ratio of schedule variance labor units and the planned value labor units.
Calculated as Schedule Variance Labor Units divided by Planned Value Labor Units.
To Complete Performance Index field
The ratio of the remaining work to the remaining funds.
Calculated as (Budget at Completion minus Earned Value) divided by (Estimate at Completion minus Actual Units or Cost).
Variance At Completion field
The difference between the baseline total cost and the current estimate of total cost. A negative value indicates an estimated cost overrun.
Budget At Completion is calculated from the current baseline.
Calculated as Budget At Completion minus Estimate At Completion.
Variance At Completion - Labor Units field
The difference between the baseline planned total labor units and the estimate at completion labor units.
Calculated as Project Baseline Planned Total Labor Units minus Estimate At Completion Labor Units.
