Artifacts #
What this step produces.
Schedule Forecasts #
Projected finish dates for the remaining work, based on actual progress. They warn early if the deadline is at risk.
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) #
The ratio of work actually done to work planned so far. A value below 1 means the project is behind schedule.
Cost Forecasts #
Projected total spending based on costs so far and the work left. They show early whether the budget needs action.
Cost Performance Index (CPI) #
The ratio of value earned to money actually spent. A value below 1 means the project is spending more than the work is worth.
EVM Performance Indicators #
The set of earned value measures, such as variances and indices, that summarise schedule and cost health. They give one consistent picture for decisions.
Variance Alerts #
Automatic notifications that fire when a metric crosses its agreed limit. They bring problems to attention before they grow.
