• Budget Estimate:
Done during Planning
Range:-10% to +25%
• Definitive Estimate:
Done when project progress and more info is available
Range: -5% to 10% from actual
Determine Budget
• Determine the amount of funding required for the project,
• Risk management to be applied to include reserves in
estimates ,
• Inputs include;
Activity Cost estimates, BoE, Scope
baseline, Project schedule, Resource
calendars, OPA, Contracts
• Cost baseline and Cost Budget
Determine Budget: Tools and Techniques
• Cost Aggregation
• Reserve analysis
• Expert judgment
• Historical relationships
• Funding limit reconciliation
-Check cashflow,
-Reconciliation with cost constraints in the project charter
Determine Budget: Output• Includes,
• Cost Baseline• Project Funding Requirements• Project Document updates
Control Costs
• Monitor the status of the project to update project costs,
• Manage changes to the cost baseline,
• Provides the means to recognize variance,
• Influence the root causes of changes to cost baseline,
• Timely processing of change requests,
• Monitor use of funds to physical work completed,
• Prevent unapproved changes from being included,
• Communicate the status of changes to stakeholders
• Bring expected cost overrun within acceptable ranges
Control Costs: Tools & Techniques
• Progress Reporting,
• Reserve Analysis,
• Earned Value Management
Earned Value Management
• Earned value used to measure project performance against
Performance measurement baseline (PMB),
• EV analysis indicates potential deviations from PMB,
• EV measurements
integrate cost time and scope,
used to forecast future performance,
Forecasted project completion date and costs

PV Planned Value
EV Earned Value
AC Actual Cost
BAC Budget At completion
EAC Estimate at Completion
ETC Estimate to Complete
VAC Variance at Completion
As of today, what is the estimated value of the work planned to be done?
As of today, what is the estimated value of the work actually accomplished?
what is the actual cost incurred for the workaccomplished?How much did we BUDGET for the TOTAL project effort?
What do we currently expect the TOTAL project to cost (a forecast)?
how much MORE do we expect it to costto finish the project (a forecast)?
As of today, how much over or under budget do we expect to be at the end of the project?

Neg is over budget and positive is under budget
Neg is behind schedule, Positive is ahead of schedule
We are getting $X worth of work for every $1 spent. Funds are or are not being used efficiently. Greater than 1 is good and <1 is bad
We are progressing at X% of the rate originally planned. >1 is good and <1 is badHow efficiently are we using time..

AC+ ETC
BAC/CPI
AC+(BAC-EV)
AC+[ (BAC-EV)/(CPI * SPI)]
TCPI (BAC-EV)/(BAC-AC)
Estimate to Complete(ETC)
ETC= EAC-AC
Actual cost of work plus the budgeted cost of remaining work, used original estimated was flawed
If no variance from BAC have occurred or the same burn rate is expected to continue
Used when current variances are thought to be typicalof future
Remaining budget modified by performance. Current variances typical, influenced by schedule constraint
How efficiently do we need to complete the remaining work, <1 is good and >1 is bad
How much more the project cost?Re-estimate
Exercise - 1
• You have a project to install 12 Telecom Tower in 12 Weeks.
The budget for the project is $10K
each a total of $120K
• We are in the 6th week,
• We have installed four Towers
• We have incurred a cost of $60K to
date
Exercise - EV calculations
Acronym Term Calculation
PV Planned Value
EV Earned Value
AC Actual Cost
BAC Budget At completion
ETC Estimate to Complete
EAC Estimate atCompletion
VAC Variance at Completion
As we are in the 6th week, the PV would be 6*$10K= $60K
We have installed four towers to date EV = 4* $10k= $40k
We have incurred in cost $60K
The total budget for the project is $120K
We still have to install eight more towers to install, ETC= 8*$10K= $80K
AC+ETC= $60k+$80k= $140k
BAC-EAC= $120k - $140k = -$20k , Trending to be over budget by $20K
Exercise EVM Calculations
Name Formula Calculation
Cost variance EV-AC
Schedule variance EV-PV
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
EV/AC
SchedulePerformance Index (SPI)
EV/PV
$40K-$60K = -$20K
$40K-$60K= -$20K
$40K/$60K = 0.66 - CPI is 0.66 meaning for each dollarspent we are earning only 66 cents,
$40K/$60K = 0.66 - SPI is 0.66 meaning We are progressing at 66% of the rate originally planned.
Exercise - 2
• On a project you have the CV= $10,000, your SV is -$3,000
PV is $100,000, What is the SPI?
• What is the AC in this case?
• In an earned value report for your project , you see the CPI
is 1.2 and SPI is 0.8, the PV is $ 600K, and the SV is -
$120K, you couldn’t find CV , How much is it?
