Using the core EVM concepts based on past trends, <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/learn\/project-management\/what-project-managers-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project managers<\/a> can predict the project\u2019s future and make informed decisions and course corrections when necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">An earned value management system (EVMS) is the framework that comprises the processes, tools, and people involved in the implementation of EVM within an organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The method used to collect the objective performance data for EVM is called earned value analysis (EVA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-dark plaky-gradient-landing-3\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <h2 class=\"translation-block text-2xl !mb-4\">User-friendly project management tool<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"translation-block !text-sm\">Nothing better than having all your work in one place.

The total <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/blog\/project-management-budgeting-methods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project budget<\/a> is called the Budget at completion (BAC). BAC always has to equal the project&#8217;s total PV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Let\u2019s illustrate these 2 concepts with an example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left translation-block\">This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left translation-block\">Suppose you have 4 days to paint your living room. You can allocate $20 per wall, so assuming the room has 4 walls, your total budget (BAC) is $80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">PV for day 1 is $20,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">PV for the first 2 days is $40,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">PV for the first 3 days is $60,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">PV for all 4 days is $80 (total PV = BAC).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The painter also agrees to paint 1 wall a day, completing 25% of the work each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"actual-cost-ac\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Actual cost (AC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Actual cost (AC) refers to the amount of money that was really spent up to a certain point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">It is also known as the actual cost of work performed (ACWP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">There\u2019s no formula for calculating AC, as it\u2019s a sum of all project expenses, such as equipment and supplies, travel, employee compensation, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Projects often have many hidden costs that project managers forget to include when calculating AC, which can then distort the analysis\u2019s results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For this reason, you should double-check your total expenditures before performing an earned value analysis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">We can take the same example as before to show what some possible hidden costs could look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For instance, let\u2019s say that day 1 of your project was supposed to cost $20. But you didn\u2019t have enough plastic sheets to cover all the furniture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">So, after spending an additional $15 on plastic sheets, the actual cost for day 1 was $35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"earned-value-ev\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Earned value (EV)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Earned value (EV) represents the monetary value of the work performed up to a certain moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">It is also known as the budgeted cost for work performed measure (BCWP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A commonly used formula for calculating EV is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background translation-block\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\">EV = % of work completed x BAC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Ideally, EV and PV should be equal. However, they\u2019re likely to differ due to the projects\u2019 nature of often diverging from their original plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If we take a look at our example, we could say that the painter finished the first wall and half of the second one at the end of day 1. This would mean that 37.5% of work has been completed at the end of the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Let\u2019s apply the formula to calculate EV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center translation-block\">EV = 37.5% x $80<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center translation-block\">EV = $30<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Another way to calculate EV is to count the number of completed units. In this case, the units would be the number of walls finished on day 1.The painter finished painting 1 + 0.5 walls, meaning that the value they\u2019ve earned with their work (EV) on the first day is $20 + $20\/2 = $30.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"701\"

= $30<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This means the painter has finished more work than originally planned, but you\u2019ve also spent more money than planned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">So, your project is ahead of schedule and over budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"cost-variance-cv\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Cost variance (CV)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Cost variance (CV) determines how much the project is over or under budget by measuring the difference (variance) between the earned value and the actual cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The formula for calculating cost variance is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background translation-block\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\">CV = EV \u2013 AC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If the value you get from the formula is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

of day 1 was $30, while the actual cost amounted to $35 due to the cost of plastic sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">We can now apply the <a
