Earned schedule

The Earned Schedule Solution To resolve the drawbacks of EVM technique, Earned Schedule has been introduced to provide stronger performance measurement indicators that express performance of a project’s schedule in units of time. ES (Earned Schedule) is like a replacement for EV (Earned Value), PD refers to the planned duration of a project or an activity which can be a replacement of PV (Planned Value), while AT which stands for Actual Time of an activity may replaces AC (Actual Cost). Very similar

completed on 12/19/08. Four months later on 10/1/08 a performance analysis was completed and it was identified that the project is behind schedule and only 40% completed. The total months for the project was planned for eight months and the project should be at 50% completed. An Earned Value analysis reflected that the project is currently behind schedule. The schedule variance (SV) indicated a negative $565,226.34 and the scheduled

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS After setting the entire project to 40% complete on Oct 1, 2008 we can see that the project is behind schedule. The schedule variance of the entire project is $ (736,599) and Schedule performance index is at 0.68, which indicates that for every $1.00 spent in the project we are only getting $0.68 worth of work done. Since we do not have actual cost data, the MS Project calculates the budget is under budget by a negligible $80. Performance Analysis (Cost) Table 1 Task Name Cost

is used: finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish. Finish-to-Start: the most common causal relationship hence no explanation is necessary for its usage. Start-to-Finish: Rarely used but is useful when developing a schedule backwards from a fixed end date. Start-to-Start: this represents a true relationship between two activities and has nothing to do with their predecessors.  If I happen to have two tasks that start at the same time because of a predecessor, that

Q1. Solve problem 27, page 182 of Mantel. a. Find the expected time and variance for each task. b. Draw the network (either AOA or AON) and the critical path and time. You may use MS Project or draw it manually. In either case, highlight or name the critical path and state the duration. c. Find the probability that the critical path will be completed in 23 weeks d. What is the probability that the other main paths will be completed in 23 weeks? e. If the paths are independent, what is the

from the site on a weekly basis. On April 16, 2014, which represent the day no. 342 in the project duration an update for the project’s time schedule was performed. And thereafter, the updated time schedule was exported to the Navisworks in .CSV format to synchronize it with additional data acquired from Primavera. This data were the planned value, earned value, and the actual cost of work performed for the activities. As such, the Navisworks was

Yogi Berra believed that, “Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.” From my tenure as a college softball pitcher at Point Park University, I learned how imperative being mentally sound is to the game of softball. The legal field is a very demanding field. I know my experiences gained on the diamond will allow me to flourish in a field dependent upon mental toughness. Foremost, being a pitcher made me realize how important it is to have a short-term memory. When I was on the

Steroids: The Corruption of Baseball Steroids changed the game of baseball for an era by transforming the game from defensively oriented mindsets to who could offensively “out-slug” one another. Steroids have changed the game of baseball due to the fact that it makes you stronger and the players that use it can hit the ball a lot further than others. Steroids are performance enhancing drugs most commonly used by athletes or bodybuilders so that they can gain more muscle quickly and easily to have

to unearned beauty and earned beauty. These two sub-categorize help us better understand hierarchy of beautiful things as the beholder decides. When we hear the term unearned, we naturally have a negative connotation, but when coupled with the word beauty, you are slightly confused, is this a negative or positive idea. It certainly is still positive. We must take away our bias and preconceived notions of the word “unearned”. The difference between unearned beauty and earned beauty is the path that
