MS project 2007 earned value bug

[alper gurbuz]

Hi, the project 2007 doesnt seem to calculate the earned value correctly. If you mark a task as complete before the estimated due date , the earned value is caluculated as the same value as the planned value. You can not have the earned value to be greater than the planned value at any given time. Unless I am doing something wrong, this seems to me like a bug . Any comments or help ?

Set Remaining Work and Remaining Duration to 0.
Set Actual Duration to the duration it actuallly took to do the task.

This will increase SPI and CPI above 1.0 and gets you an EAC<BAC and a
positive VAC (assuming they were good to begin with). SPI will degrade to 1.0
as the [status date] progressess past [Baseline Finish], CPI will remain

1.0.
