Live Example of Developing a
Status Report Using Earned
Value (EV) Techniques where
we apply Earned Value
Management (EVM).
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Imagine a project to build a website for a client.

The project is scheduled to take 5 months with a total


budget of ₹ 100,000.

The project is divided into several work packages:

• Design Phase - Budget: ₹ 20,000


• Development Phase - Budget: ₹ 50,000
• Testing Phase - Budget: ₹ 30,000

The project is at the end of month 3, and we are preparing a


status report to assess where the project stands compared to
the original baseline.
Step 1: Establish the Baseline (Planned Value -
PV)
At the start, the project schedule and budget
are laid out in a baseline plan. This baseline
will be used to compare actual progress.
Work Package Planned Value Scheduled Month
(PV)
Design Phase ₹20,000 Months 1-2
Development ₹50,000 Months 3-4
Phase
Testing Phase ₹30,000 Month 5
Total PV ₹100,000 Month 5
By the end of Month 3, the project should
have spent:

₹20,000 for Design (completed by Month 2)

₹ 30,000 for Development (should be halfway


through by the end of Month 3)

So, the Planned Value (PV) at the end of Month 3


should be:

PV = ₹20,000 (Design) + ₹30,000 (Development) =


₹ 50,000
Step 2: Track Progress and Collect Actual Data (Actual Cost - AC &
Earned Value - EV)

Now we track what has actually been completed so far:

The Actual Cost (AC): The actual money spent so far in


Month 3.

The actual cost for work completed by the end of Month 3


is ₹ 60,000 (this includes ₹ 15,000 for design and ₹ 45,000
for development).

Earned Value (EV): This is the value of work actually


completed as of the report date.
Design Phase: 100% completed, so EV = ₹ 20,000
Development Phase: 50% completed, so EV = 50% of ₹ 50,000 = ₹
25,000
Total Earned Value (EV) at the end of Month 3 is:
Step 3: Calculate
Variances
Now we compare Earned Value (EV) with Planned Value (PV) and
Actual Cost (AC) to calculate Schedule Variance (SV) and Cost
Variance (CV).

1. Schedule Variance (SV) = EV – PV


•SV = ₹ 45,000 (EV) - ₹ 50,000 (PV) = - ₹ 5,000
•This means the project is behind schedule by ₹ 5,000 worth of
work.

2. Cost Variance (CV) = EV – AC


• CV = ₹ 45,000 (EV) - ₹ 60,000 (AC) = ₹15,000
• This means the project is over budget by ₹ 15,000.
Step 4: Interpret and Report
Using the above calculations, we can now interpret the
project status and prepare a report.

• Schedule Status: The project is behind schedule by ₹


5,000 worth of work.

• Cost Status: The project is over budget by ₹ 15,000.

• Next Steps: Investigate the reasons for the schedule


delay and cost overrun (e.g., possible delays in
development, resource issues, etc.).
STEP 5: FORECAST FUTURE
PERFORMANCE
To forecast how the project will perform at completion, we
need to estimate the Estimate at Completion (EAC) and
Variance at Completion (VAC).

• Estimate at Completion (EAC) = Actual Cost (AC) +


Remaining Work
• To calculate remaining work, we use the formula:
EAC = AC + (BAC - EV)
BAC (Budget at Completion) = ₹100,000 (total planned
budget)
• EAC = ₹ 60,000 + (₹ 100,000 - ₹ 45,000) = ₹ 115,000
STEP 5: FORECAST FUTURE PERFORMANCE

• Variance at Completion (VAC) = BAC –


EAC

• VAC = ₹100,000 (BAC) - ₹15,000 (EAC)


= ₹15,000

• This indicates that the project will


likely be over budget by ₹15,000 if
current trends continue.
Step 6: Visualizing the
Status
To summarize, we can create a Cost/Schedule Graph
that visualizes the current status of the project:

• PV (Planned Value): Shows where the project


should be at this point in time.

• EV (Earned Value): Shows where the project actually


is AC (Actual Cost):

• Shows how much has actually, been spent.


Step 6: Visualizing the Status
From this, it's clear that the project is behind schedule
(EV < PV) and over budget (AC > EV).
Time Period Planned Earned Value Actual Cost
Value (PV) (EV) (AC)
Month 3 ₹50,000 ₹45,000 ₹60,000

BEHIND
= EARNED VALUE < PLANNED VALUE
SCHEDULE

OVER BUDGET = ACTUAL COST > EARNED VALUE


Conclusion
This live example demonstrates how Earned Value Management
(EVM) works to:

1.Monitor Project Performance: Using PV, EV, and AC to assess


how the project is progressing.

2.Calculate Variances: Identifying schedule delays and cost


overruns (SV and CV).

3.Forecast Future Performance: Using EAC and VAC to predict


the final project cost and completion status.

Through this process, project managers can identify issues early


and take corrective action to keep the project on track.

(PCIB)

Formula:

PCIB = (EV/BAC) × 100

Interpretation:

• This index shows the percentage of the planned


budget that has been earned (completed work).
• PCIB = 100%: The project is on track with the
planned budget
• PCIB < 100%: Less work has been completed
compared to the budgeted plan.
D. PERCENT COMPLETE INDEX FOR COST
(PCIC)

Formula:

PCIC = (EV/AC) × 100

Interpretation:
• This index compares the earned value to

• PCIC < 100%: The project is over budget
• PCIC > 100%: The project is under budget.

Case Study Story: The Tale
of the Wandering Gantt

Introduction

Project: "Operation Office Oasis“

Objective: Transform a dull office


space into a vibrant, collaborative
haven within three months.

Team: A mix of an overzealous


project manager, a too-casual
designer, a scatterbrained
Phase 1: Planning (or Lack Thereof) The project manager
(PM) proudly unveiled a Gantt chart that could rival a
Picasso painting—full of colours, overlaps, and timelines.
Everyone nodded enthusiastically, except the contractor,
who quietly muttered, “We’ll see.”

Reality hit when the


designer missed the first
milestone, citing a week-
long brainstorming retreat,
while the intern accidentally
shredded the only hard
copy of the office layout.
Phase 2: Execution (a.k.a.
Chaos Unleashed)Week 1:
The contractor built a wall.
It wasn’t in the plan, but
he insisted it gave
"character." The PM cried.

Week 2: The designer


introduced a jungle theme.
Plants arrived, but the
contractor used them as
makeshift hammers.

Week 3: The intern started ffic

theme, repurposed the
misplaced wall into a
“collaborative corner,” and the
intern’s Instagram attracted a
sponsor who sent ergonomic
chairs as a promotional stunt.
OUTCOME
The office was transformed, though not exactly as envisioned.
The client loved the "quirky and organic process" and booked
the team for another project.

LESSONS
Monitoring tools are only as good as the people using them.
Overcommunication is better than assumptions.
Instagram fame can salvage even the most chaotic projects.

CONCLUSION
Project monitoring isn’t just about timelines and tools—it’s
about flexibility, humour, and embracing the unexpected.
