Start and End Percentage (value)

Percentage values are assigned when the activities start and conclude. In other words, when the activity is initiated, it is assumed that a particular percentage of the project has been completed.

  • Planned Value

    Budget amounts are released, based on these percentages during the scheduled start date and scheduled end date period, respectively (based on the last approved baseline).

  • Earned Value

    Earned values are assigned during the actual start date and actual finish date period (as defined in the Activities (tppss2100m000) session).

Example

  • Activity approved Baseline Scheduled Start Date: January 1, 2015
  • Activity approved Baseline Scheduled Start Date: March 21, 2015
  • Budgeted Amount: 10000 hours
  • The EVM is Start and End Percentage. So, the percentages must be specified in the Activities (tppss2100m000) session.
  • Start Percentage = 70%
  • End Percentage = 30%
  • Time Phase Budget in Period 1 (January 2015) = (10000 * 70)/100 = 7000 EUR
  • Time Phase Budget in Period 2 (February 2015) = (10000 * 0)/ 100 = 0 EUR
  • Time Phase Budget in Period 3(March 2015) = (10000 * 30)/ 100 = 3000 EUR

For Earned Value, actual start and periods are considered. If the activity starts in February and concludes in April:

  • Earned Value for January: 0
  • Earned Value for February: 7000 EUR
  • Earned Value for March: 0 EUR
  • Earned Value for April: 3000 EUR

If the actual hours incurred in January 2015 is 3300 EUR:

  • Hours Variance = 0 – 3300 = -3300 EUR
  • Schedule Variance = 0 – 3875 = -3875 EUR
