Budget amount

Planned Value

Earned Value

Actual Value



There r three things:



Planned Value: Budgeted Cost of work Scheduled (BCWS)



Earned Value: Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP)



Actual Cost: Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP)



From these three values, u can hav SPI and CPI (Schedule Performance Index and Cost Performance Index)



SPI = EV / PV



CPI = EV / AC



For more details, apart from Paul Harris paper, u may also refer to PMBOK.



Cheers,
