IS4532: Project Management & Outsourcing

Games for Kids Project


Cost Management
During planning, your project sponsor has asked you and your team to refine the existing
cost estimate for the project so that there is a solid cost baseline for evaluating project
performance. Initial estimates suggested that about half of the $500K budgeted for this
project would go to hardware costs and the outsourced software and consulting services.
And you found out from the schedule that you actually planned for 10.5 months to
complete the project so 1.5 months can be used as buffer
1. Assume you have completed six months of the project. The BAC was $500K for this
12-month project. Also assume the following:
2. EV= percent completed work x BAC
PV= percent of value of total work x BAC
The amount of work that should have been done = $300K PV
The actual cost incurred so far = $250K AC
The amount of work that has actually been done = $280K EV
Using this information, find out the
cost variance (CV)
schedule variance (SV)
cost performance index (CPI)
schedule performance index (SPI)
estimate at completion (EAC
How is the project doing? Is it ahead of schedule or behind schedule? Is it under budget
or over budget? Should you alert your senior management and ask for assistance?
Should you talk to your sponsor before the meeting to discuss this data?
