Earned Value by Project Report
You can use the new Earned Value by Project report to analyze the cost and schedule of projects in progress.
For example, this report can help you do the following:
-
Determine the accomplishment of planned work.
-
Determine if resources are performing behind or ahead of schedule.
-
Analyze cost performance within a budget.
With regular analysis, earned value assessment can help you head off performance problems. For example, if you see that costs are beginning to go over budget, you can make adjustments before costs are excessively overrun.
The Earned Value by Project report leverages Working with the Project Schedule for a cost-loaded schedule. Each task is scheduled over time and each task has labor resources associated with it. You can forecast expected cost outlay for the labor over time. By examining this total over time and looking at costs to-date while project is in process, you can calculate the costs and schedule variance.
This report is available only if you use Project Management.
