Baseline DataCorrect?

SDSI EVM Analysis Tools eliminate the need to key program data into MPM. All EVM Data is entered and managed in Microsoft, then imported into MPM, ensuring that Microsoft Project and MPM data match. This also provides for a single EVM Data entry point, reducing data entry errors.

Microsoft Project hours = 34,496.62 while the MPM Import file hours = 34,496.61, demonstrating the extreme accuracy of the estimates extraction process

By changing output choice, a time-phased estimates report (above) is generated instead of the MPM Import file at right. Also, the report output can appear as monthly data as shown, or weekly.

Reports allow management review of data and baseline error correction in Microsoft Project, allowing for a single import cycle into MPM once data is known to be correct.


2424

Microsoft Project hours = 34,496.62; MPM hours = 34,496.61. This extremely close data agreement is for all WBS legs and for each month of the project.

SDSI EVM Analysis Tools ensure your MPM file matches your Microsoft Project baseline data.


Import produces time-phased BCWS in MPM that matches Microsoft Project total.
