Question:
1) On the 10/5/04 and 11/5/04. The actual work lower than BCWS but why is
the BCWP the same as BCWS? Likewise, 19/5/04 and 20/5/04 the actual work is
much higher than the baseline. So I assumed this would reflect the BCWP.
2) How do I interpret the EVA information in Task Usage View? Are there any
help online resource, or can anyone provide any tips / hints.
3) The help file states: "Microsoft Project calculates BCWP. The amount of
work complete is multiplied by the assignment's timephased baseline cost."
Can any explain how the calculation works - as it seems to always be the
same as BCWS, and there I do not see the significance of BCWP. The help
files also states: "percentage of the budget that should have been spent for
a given percentage of work performed on a task." But when the given
percentage of work performed is greater or less than the budgeted /
baseline - I see no difference?
Finally, thanks to everyone who has assisted me and taken time out to answer
my many questions.
Have a good day,
