PROJECT MANAGEMENT

METRICS

ALGEM CRIS B. CRUSIS

“If you don’t measure
something, you can’t change
it.The process of leadership
is one of painting a vision,
then saying how you’re
going to get there, and then
measuring whether you’re
actually getting there.
Otherwise, you risk only
talking about great things
but not accomplishing

them. ”
Mitt Romney

Managers to:

 Assess status of ongoing project in terms of

schedule, cost and profitability.
 Foresee any potential risks.
 Nail down the problems much before they
become severe.
 Keep a check on project profitability.
 Assess productivity of team.
 Assess quality of work products to be
delivered.

PRIMARY
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
METRICS
 Planned Value (PV)

 Actual Cost (AC)

 Earned Value (EV)

 The planned value is the
PLANNED estimated cost for your project
VALUE activities planned/scheduled as
of reporting date.

For example, if you have a one-year project with a total

planned budget of 10 000 USD, the Planned Value after 9
months (if you’re on schedule, you’ve completed 75% of
the project activities and you’ve got 25% to go) is 25%
of 10 000 USD which makes 2500 USD. Meaning that
the project planned value at this point of the project is
2500 USD
 ACTUAL
COST

It indicates how much money you have spent on a

project as to date. There’s no formula for calculating the
project’s actual cost, you just have to add up all the
project-related expenses you’ve used to date.
 EARNED
VALUE

Shows the approved budget for all the performed

project activities by a specified date. It shows how much
planned work you have actually accomplished and
what’s the budget for these accomplishments.
