The “How ya doin?”

Problem

Contractor: We’re a little behind, but it’s not a problem. We’ll make it up.

What do you say?

Route 93 Re-Paving Problem

We Have a Plan

From 128/I93 to I90-I93 is 7.7 miles.

Plan: 0.77 miles each monthSchedule:10 months. Cost: $1,470,000.

Month 1:

Contractor: We’re a little behind, but it’s not a problem. We’ll make it up.

You can always measure something!

Complete ½ mile:“Value” = $190,909 ÷ 2

Earned Value Management (EVM)

Christensen & Heise, 1992 DOD experience >400 programs since 1977 Without exception:

The cumulative CPI does not significantly improve during the period of 15% through 85% of the contract

Provides early warning of trouble EAC reliable ~ 20% into a project

In fact it tends to decline!

Page 32: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

“I did not use EVM because …”

“Not needed on small projects” “Hard to apply” (Kim, 2000)

“The implementation requirements, terminology, and the countless rules and interpretations, are perceived as overly restrictive” (Fleming & Koppelman, 2005)

It is difficult to find a balance between the utility of the EV technique . . . versus the effort it takes to implement (Quentin & Koppelman, 2005)

From Earned Value

toTCPI

Page 34: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

The to-complete performance index (TCPI) is the calculated projection of cost performance that must be achieved on the remaining work to meet a specified management goal, such as the BAC or the EAC.

PMBOK 4th Edition

Page 35: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

A simple formula to change the world!

“Once our customers start calculating TCPI, we will no

longer be able to fudge project cost!”

TCPI

Page 36: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

What is TCPI?

Page 37: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

TCPI: Month 4 Work Remaining:

BAC – EV(t) = $1,470,000 – $546,000 Funds Remaining:

BAC – AC(t) = $1,470,000 – $681,000

= 1.17

Page 38: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

You:You need a 17% improvement.

Contractor:No problem!

Trust me, we’ll make it up.

Everything will be OK.

Page 39: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

Really?!

Your current efficiency is 80%

Your TCPI is 117%

You need a 37% improvement!

Page 40: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

It’s Getting Worse!

You need a 37% improvement!

37%

Page 41: Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?

You Can’t Win!

TCPI → ∞!

You need to be here!

You are here!

Guidance EVM Works

2 Simple Formulae:

You already have the data! TCPI is a powerful addition to EVM

CPI is about the past TCPI is about the future

Graphs are powerful Weekly data is the key

SPI doesn’t really work

If it becomes obvious that the BAC is no longer viable, the EAC supersedes the BAC

PMBOK to the Rescue!

Required efficiency is just the CPI!
