The document provides an overview of project cost and schedule control techniques including earned value management and estimating project performance. It demonstrates these concepts through an example of a railway construction project, showing how to calculate earned value, planned value, and estimate completion costs based on the project's current performance. Key metrics discussed include percentage of work, budget, and schedule completed to monitor project status and identify if it is on track or experiencing delays or cost overruns.

4. Completed 1.5 km An example
How is the project doing?
Project:
Build 5 km railway End of month 2:
Time allowed: 5 months Cost?
Budget: ?100,000 Schedule?
Completion %?
5. Completed 1.5 km An example
How is the project doing?
End of month 2:
Time passed: 40% of duration
1.5 km of railway completed = 30% of requirement
Spend to date: ?38,000 = 38% of budget
How are we doing? 30/38/40% complete?
9. Traditional monitoring
Cost:
¨C What percentage of the budget has been spent?
¨C What is our estimate to complete?
¨C How much will it cost at completion?

Budget ?15k Budget ?33k Budget ?15k Budget ?22k Budget ?15k
Time 1 mth Time 1.5 mth Time 0.5 mth Time 1.5 mth Time 0.5 mth
Value of work planned to be completed:
In month 1 = ?15k
In month 2 = (1/1.5 x ?33k) = ?22k
Planned value = ?15k + ?22k = ?37k

Budget ?15k Budget ?33k Budget ?15k Budget ?22k Budget ?15k
Time 1 mth Time 1.5 mth Time 0.5 mth Time 1.5 mth Time 0.5 mth
Value of work completed:
Km1 = ?15k
Km2 = 50% of ?33k = ?16.5k
Earned value = ?15K + ?16.5k = ?31.5k (31.5% of total value)

Earned value = ?31.5k = 31.5%
Planned value = ?37k = 37%
Conclusion: Value of work done is 5.5% less than planned
