Parametic estimating
Parametric estimating requires that you use this equation to calculate duration estimates for activities:
(Quantity of work × Productivity rate) ÷ Number of resources used
Three-point estimating
You use three-point estimating to get a duration estimate that reflects the risks and opportunities that may affect th
To calculate the three-point estimate using beta distribution, you
1. Add the weights assigned to each estimate. Typically the total is 6, since the most likely estimate gets a weight
2. Add each weighted duration for the total and divide the total weighted duration by the total weight.
The other formula commonly used for three-point estimating is the triangular distribution formula, where:
Duration = (tO+tM+tP) / 3

on formula, where:
ed in three-point estimating. One is the beta distribution formula, based on the traditional PERT technique.
Budget at completion (BAC) None
Planned value (PV) BAC × (time passed ÷ total schedule time)
Earned value (EV) BAC × (work completed ÷ total work required)
Schedule variance (SV) SV = EV – PV
Cost variance (CV) CV = EV – AC
Schedule performance index (SPI) SPI = EV ÷ PV
Cost performance index (CPI) CPI = EV ÷ AC
Course: Controlling Project Costs (PMBOK® Guide Fifth Edition)

Topic: Earned Value Management
The total authorized budget for the project.
The budgeted amounts assigned to work scheduled to BCWS
have been completed.
The value of completed work, expressed in terms of the BCWP
budget assigned to that work.
The difference between the budgeted value a project

has earned through completed work and the planned
value of this work. This value indicates whether project
work is proceeding as planned in the schedule.
actual cost (AC) = ACWP
The difference between earned value and actual costs,
which indicates cost performance.
The ratio between earned value and planned value,
which represents schedule performance. An SPI of 1
indicates the project is on schedule. A value greater
than 1 indicates it is ahead of schedule, and a value less
than 1 indicates it is behind schedule.
The ratio between earned value and actual costs, which

represents cost performance. A CPI value greater than 1
indicates better performance than expected, whereas a
value less than 1 indicates poor performance.
Formula
EAC = AC + bottom-up ETC
EAC = AC + BAC - EV
EAC = BAC ÷ cumulative CPI
EAC = AC + [(BAC – EV) ÷ (cumulative CPI × cumulative SPI)]

ETC = EAC - AC

When it is used
When you want to forecast EAC based on the project manager's bottom-up ETC.
When variances are not expected to occur for the remainder of the project, so the
costs of future work are estimated to be the same as the budgeted costs.
When you want to take the cost performance of a project into account and assume
its current cost performance level won't change for the remainder of the project.
When you want to take both the schedule and cost performance of the project into
account, and the project schedule is a factor likely to impact the ETC.

The ETC is calculated by subtracting the actual cost (AC) from the estimate at completion:
ETC = EAC - AC
You can easily calculate the AC by summing up the four monthly costs listed in the example. The result is $15,000 +
You must now calculate the EAC. To do this, use the following formula:
EAC = budgeted at completion (BAC) / cumulative cost performance index (CPI)
You know the BAC is $392,000. In order to calculate the cumulative CPI, you must divide the cumulative earned valu
Since you now know the EAC and the AC, you can finally calculate the ETC:
ETC = $421,505 - $192,250 = $229,255

ple. The result is $15,000 + $60,500 + $67,000 + $49,750 = $192,250.
the cumulative earned value (EV) by the cumulative AC. The cumulative CPI is $179,150 / $192,250 = 0.93. Therefore, the EAC i
= 0.93. Therefore, the EAC is $392,000 / 0.93 = $421,505.
Calculate Communication Channels
