Scope baselineThe scope baseline is the approved project scope statement, WBS, and WBS dictionary. These collectively provide the deliverables, statements of work, constraints, and assumptions that are necessary for accurate cost estimating. Project scheduleThe project schedule specifies the planned start and finish date for each scheduled activity. Human resource planThe human resource plan contains details regarding the how the project will be staffed and the labor rates for estimating costs

Expert judgment, relies on historical experience to assess and adjust estimates. Analogous estimating uses the costs from similar projects or activities as the basis for the current project. Parametric estimating uses mathematical formulas to derive estimates.
Bottom-up estimating decomposes activities to the lowest level possible for cost estimating purposes, and then aggregates component costs back up to a summary activity level
Tools & Techniques

Three-point estimates (PERT analysis), help to remove the uncertainty from estimates by providing a weighted average using the pessimistic, optimistic, and most-likely values. The Formula:
(Optimistic Estimate + (4 x Most-Likely Estimate ) +
Pessimistic Estimate)6
Example: Optimistic Most Likely Pessimistic$75 $100 $150
Three-point estimate = ($75 + (4 x $100) + $150) / 6Three-point estimate = $104.17

Activity cost estimates , are a complete accounting of all component costs, such as labor, resources, services, fees, licenses, of a scheduled activity. Basis of estimates, is the supporting detail to the activity cost estimates including the references for cost estimate, considered assumptions, constraints, range of accuracy, and the confidence level in the estimate. Project document updates, the process of estimating costs can result in updates to several project documents, including the WBS, and the WBS dictionary.

Earned value management, measures the performance of the project. It also provides a way to forecast future performance based on what's happened so far with the project. Forecasting, involves predicting future performance based on historical work performance information and expert judgment. To-complete performance index (TCPI), is a formula that provides the level of performance that must be achieved to meet either the budget at completion (BAC) or the estimate at completion (EAC).
Tools & Techniques
Control Costs:
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 22
Performance reviews, are assessments that analyze the project’s historical cost performance. It includes earned value measurements, variance analysis, and trend analysis. Variance analysis, compares expected cost performance to what is actually occurring, and determines the causes of any variance uncovered.
Project management software, automated tools can help in monitoring, tracking, and reporting on earned value measurements.
Tools & Techniques
Control Costs:

Estimate Cost Data Flow Diagram:
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 26
Control Costs Formulas: Acronym Name Formula
AC Actual CostAC = actual cost of the
project up to the measurement period
BAC Budget at Completion BAC = total budgeted cost of the project
EV Earned Value EV = Actual % complete x BAC
PV Planned Value PV = Planned % complete x BAC
CV Cost Variance CV = EV - AC
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 27
Control Costs Formulas: Acronym Name Formula
SV Schedule Variance SV = EV - PV
CPI Cost Performance Index CPI = EV / AC
SPI Schedule Performance Index SPI = EV / PV
EAC Estimate at Completion EAC = BAC / CPI
ETC Estimate to Complete ETC = EAC - AC
VAR Variance at Completion VAR = BAC - EAC
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 28
Control Costs Formulas: Example:
•4-month project: Total budget $1,000,000 = Budget at completion (BAC) •Project cost at end of month three: $950,000 = Actual cost (AC) •Estimated work complete at end of month three: 80% •Actual work complete at end month three: 75%
4-month project (BAC) =1,000,000
M 1 M 2 M 3 M 4
Planned work complete = 80%Actual work complete = 75%
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 29
Control Costs Formulas: Planned value
PV = Planned % Complete x BAC PV = 80% x $1,000,000 = $800,000
Earned value
EV = Actual % Complete x BACEV = 75% x $1000,000 = $750,500
Cost variance
CV = EV – ACCV = $750,000 - $950,000 = -$200,000
Planned Value (PV) is how much work was
expected to be completed
Earned Value (EV) is how much work has
actually been completed
Cost Variance (CV) is how the cost of the
project is comparing to the value of work
completed
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 30
Control Costs Formulas: Cost performance index
CPI = EV / AC CPI = $750,500 / $950,000 = 0.79
For every $1 input (cost) , we are earning only $0.8 in work output
Cost Performance Index (CPI) shows how
much work is being completed for every unit
of cost spent (Output/Input)
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 31
Control Costs Formulas:
Schedule performance index
SPI = EV / PVSPI = $750,500 / $800,000 = 0.94
For every hour we planned , we are completing only 0.94 hours.
Schedule Performance Index
(SPI) shows how close the actual completed work compared to the
schedule
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 32
Control Costs Formulas: Estimate at completion
EAC = BAC / CPIEAC = $1000,000 / 0.94 = $1,063,829 Based on current performance, the project will be completed at cost = $1,063,829.
Estimate to complete
ETC = EAC - ACETC = $1,063,829 - 950,000 = $113,829
Based on current performance, the project requires $113,829 to get it finished
Estimate At Completion (EAC)
forecasts the total cost of the project based on
current project performance
Estimate To Complete (ETC) forecasts how
much more money will be required to finish the
project
30 Apr 2010Khalid & Riyad, KAU, EMBA, PMP Course 33
Control Costs Formulas: Variance at completion
VAR = BAC – EACVAR = $1,000,000 - $1,063,829 = -$63,829 Based on current performance, the project will run about $63,829 over budget
Variance At Completion (VAR) predicts difference
between the budgeted and actual project cost
at the end of the project
