DetailsThis section displays the Planned Value, the Actual Cost, the Earned Value as well as the team size on the current day.
This section compares the planned vs the projected end date and total cost. The 'Completion ratio at planned date' gives the estimated completion percentage at the planned end date based on the current trend (CPI). The 'Current Cost Performance Index (CPI)' gives the value of the CPI used to estimate the projected cost. Note that the Total Cost is the maximum value between the Estimated Cost (based on Cost Performance Index) and the total Future Known Cost.
