When a task is first created, the BCWP is 0.00. As soon as a baseline is
saved and progress is reported for the task (as actual work, actual duration,
or percentage of work complete), Microsoft Office Project calculates BCWP.
This calculation is based on the percentage of work complete, as compared
with the task's baseline duration. Project then calculates the cumulative
baseline cost and provides the value of what the task's actual costs should
be, given the task's progress to that point in the task's baseline duration.
So, when multiple resources are assigned, the %Complete is allocated based
on the work distribution (hours) of the task. If a more expensive resource
is more heavily loaded to the front of a task, your BCWP would accumulate
more quickly.
