Compare Schedule and Cost Indices

Easily track and review the performance of projects by comparing schedule and cost performance indices (CPI & SPI) with planned value (PV) costs, budget at completion (BAC) costs and estimate at completion (ETC) costs.

Earned Value Management FAQs

What is Earned Value Management?

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a methodology that allows you to compare where a project was supposed to be in terms of costs and schedule, and where it is at any moment in time, in a way that’s objective and universally accepted.

What are the benefits of using Cora’s EVM?

  • It gives you internationally recognized PMI performance metrics.
  • You can visualize performance metrics and take corrective action.
  • You can objectively measure performance using financial data based on the project Gannt/WBS (work breakdown structure).

What measurements can you track using Cora’s EVM?

You can review schedule and cost performance indices (CPI and SPI), Planned Value (PV) costs, budget at completion (BAC) and any actions, dependencies and changes on project registers.

What types of effort and EV techniques are supported?

Our module supports all effort types; discrete, apportioned and level of effort, and divides ‘discreet’ into 6 categories;

  • 0–100
  • 50–50
  • XX–YY (A custom version of 50–50)
  • Incremental milestone
  • Percent complete
  • Units complete

What kind of reports does Cora’s EVM support?

It’s designed to support IPMDAR data feeds and reporting requirements.
