Indices Report

The Indice report presents the VariancesIndices report shows the evolution of a portfolio's EVM metrics over time. EVM metrics are grouped in three (3) categories: the Variance, Performance and Estimate At Completion graphs that will help you analyse your project performance.And as you can expect, you can get a printable version of it using the report's action menu or by hitting "p" while consulting it indices. Their evolution over time is represented in charts, one for each of the three indices categories. The report can be produced for printing and its data can be exported to Excel spreadsheet.

Variance Indices

This chart demonstrates the performance trends. A clear way to visualize if the project performance has been improvingshows the trend of variance-related indices. The variance indices indicate how well the actual data compares to what was planned. Please refer to the Portfolio Overview documentation to learn more about EVM indices.

CV	Cost Variance	This index (CV) determines if the project is under or over the budget. It is computed by subtracting the Actual Cost (AC) from the Earned Value(EV). A negative value indicates that the project is over budget. Ex: at the end of the fourth week the AC is 11,000.00$ and the EV is 8,000.00$ then the CV will be 3,000.00$ at the end of this period
SV	Schedule Variance	This index (SV) determines whether the project is ahead of or behind schedule. It is computed by subtracting the Planned Value(PV) to date from the Earned Value(EV) to date. A negative value indicates that the project is behind schedule. Ex: at the end of the fourth week the PV is 10,000.00$ and the EV is 8,000.00$ then the SV will be 2,000.00$ at the end of this period
VAC	Variance At Completion	This index (VAC) determines whether the project will finish under or over budget. The Amount shown is the difference between the total budgeted cost and the Estimate at Completion It is computed by subtracting the Estimate at Completion (EAC)from the Budget at Completion(BAC). A negative value indicates how much more resources will need to be injected to achieve the project goal. Ex: at the end of the fourth week the EAC is 250,000.00$ and the BAC is 200,000.00$ then the VAC will be 50,000.00$
TOL	Tolerance	The tolerance you have selected in your portfolio configuration

Performance
Performance
Performance Indices

This chart demonstrates the variance performance trends. It displays the cumulative project cost, schedule, and at complete variances.

CPI	Cost Performance Index	This index (CPI) determines how efficiently the team is using its resources. It is computed by dividing the Earned Value by the Actual Cost. A value lower than one indicates a loss of efficiency.
SPI	Schedule Performance Index	This index (SPI) determines how efficiently the project team is using its time. It is computed by dividing the Earned Value by the Planned Value to date. A value lower than one indicates a loss of efficiency.
TCPI	To-Complete Performance Index	This index (TCPI) determines the efficiency that must be achieved on the remaining work for a project to meet the Budget at Completion. It is computed by dividing the work remaining (BAC - EV to date) by the budget remaining (BAC - AC to date). A value greater than one indicates that the performance must improve.
TOL	Tolerance	The tolerance you have selected in your portfolio configuration

EAC
EAC
Estimate At Completion

This chart demonstrates the risk level trends. It displays the EAC (Estimate At Completion) based on three different approaches as describe below.

EAC	Estimate At Completion	This method assumes what the project has experienced to date can be expected to continue in the future.
EAC [budget]	Estimate At Completion Based on budget	This method accepts the actual project performance to date and predicts that all future ETC(Estimate to Complete) work will be accomplished at the budgeted rate.
EAC [CPIxSPI]	Estimate At Completion Based on cpi and spi indices	This method assumes that the ETC work will be performed at an efficiency rate that considers both the cost and schedule performance indices.
BAC	Budget at Completion
TOL	Tolerance	The tolerance you have selected in your portfolio configuration

The Indices report can be exported to Excel format to give you all the latitude to generate your own graph. Do it by selecting the "Export to Excel" item in the report's action menu found at the top right of the report's parameters panel.

The parameters that were used to generate the report can be found on the second tab of the generated spreadsheet. On the parameter sheet you get all acronym definitions and the formula used to calculate indices
