Earned Value Analysis (PRM)

Additional Information

The Earned Value Analysis visualizer allows you to review actual posted project financials and budget information for the past 6 periods, and projected information for the next 6 periods for a project. The project is selected from the Project Scorecard at the top of the tab.

This visualizer is available on the Project and Resource Management Dashboard.

The chart is organized by potential revenue and posting period and displays the planned revenue, to date effort, and to date revenue.

Note: If a task does not have a Start Date and End Date defined, it is not included as part of the chart.

Chart Data

Area Description
Amount The left-side of the chart, or the y-axis, displays currency amounts.
Period

The area below the chart, or the x-axis, displays posting periods. By default, the periods displayed span the current month, 5 months prior, and 6 months after. The posting periods are based on the selected Posting Calendar for the project. However, depending on the length of the project, this may need to be displayed as quarters.

The chart's time span for the project is based on the Start Date and Finish Date of the project.
Chart

The chart includes the following information:

  • TD Revenue: Displays the cumulative project to date revenue.
  • TD Chargeable Effort: Displays the cumulative project to date effort.
  • Planned Revenue: Displays the planned revenue for the period. Planned Revenue is calculated as Budget / the number of Posting Periods (based on the Start Date and Finish Date of each Task).
  • Projected Chargeable Effort: Displays the chargeable effort projected for the period.

For the last posting period, the value should equal the Effort Budget for the project.
