Suresh,

A quick search of this database with the built in search feature using the keywords ’S curve’ will yield many conversation threads for viewing.



As you are wondering how many lines you would like on the graph, the 3 basic earned value lines [Based on Australian Standard AS4817-2006 Project performance measurement using Earned Value] will be,

PV (Planned Value - formerly BCWS Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled),

EV (Earned Value - formerly BCWP Budgeted Cost of Work Performed)

AC (Actual Cost - formerly ACWP Actual Cost of Work Performed),

the remaining work is represented by a 4th line attached to the back end of the AC, and represents the remaing effort.



As far as the last part of your post, if you were to have a version of your S Curve with an X axis scaled in days/weeks/months it will be evident as to you delay.
