If we talk about expended cost at a particular moment of time we have no idea whether we are ahead or behind the plan unless we measure the amount of work done and the time expended doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Earned Value allows us to make a measured judgment and may be defined as &#8220;The value of work performed expressed in terms of the the approved budget assigned to that work for a scheduled activity&#8221; &#8211; PMBOK<\/p>\n<p>Earned Value Technique integrates the time, cost and work done.<\/p>\n<p>EV = Earned Value &#8211; Estimated Value of the actual work completed.<\/p>\n<p>AC = Actual Cost &#8211; Actual cost charged for the work done so far.<\/p>\n<p>CV = Cost Variance &#8211; Difference of Earned Value minus Actual Cost.<\/p>\n<p>CV = EV &#8211; AC<\/p>\n<p>A positive value means UNDER budget.<\/p>\n<p>A negative value means OVER budget.<\/p>\n<p>Earned Value Technique is a useful tool for measuring progress against plan and for helping to control budget effectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:chris@projectsguru.co.uk\">chris@projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a
