(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Work Performance Management (WPM) is a methodology developed by Mosaic Project Services Pty Ltd to offer a simple, robust solution to the challenges of providing rigorous project controls information on projects that cannot (or are not) using CPM and/or EVM. It works by setting an expected rate of working using an appropriate metric, then measuring the actual work achieved to date. Based on this data, WPM can assess how far ahead or behind plan the work currently is, and using this information calculate the likely project completion date and VAC.
The basis of the calculations used in WPM are the same as is used in Earned Schedule (ES), however, WPM is much simpler to set up and use. The only two requirements to implement WPM are:
Our latest article, How WPM Works, explains in detail the processes and calculations used in WPM, and the outputs produced.
Understanding the current status and projected completion is invaluable management information for Agile and other projects where CPM schedules are not used, and even where a project has a good CPM schedule in place this additional information is useful. Then by plotting the trends for both the current variance (WV) and VAC management also knows how the project is tracking overall.
