Real World Example Vignette: eBay eBay understands the importance of analyzing project data to produce
performance indicators eBay’s mission is to provide a trading platform for people all over the world.
They do this by continually improving the user’s experience on the eBay site Decisions for change are based on measurable factors like the number of
visitors to the site, length of time customers spend on eBay, busiest day of the week for eBay transactions, etc.
Managers regularly collect data from the site to develop new marketing and merchandising techniques, continually improving the buy-sell process for eBay customers
Project managers should understand the valuable of measurable factors, and apply them to make responsible decisions about their projects
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it.”

Real World Example Vignette: London Traffic Ken Livingstone was London’s first directly elected mayor in 2000. He created
Transport for London to oversee the city’s road and transport services that were previously managed separately. Mission: to upgrade London’s transportation infrastructure with a toll system project to reduce crippling congestion
Trans. for London developed a plan to install a system (cameras) to identify & charge car owners entering defined congestion zones
Technological risks were identified, and the project was divided into 5 smaller components (to be managed separately, as opposed to purchasing one large system)
The project team worked together in one location on the five components to the system
The project was successfully implemented by February 2003. Transport for London reports that traffic in the congestion zone has decreased by 20%, with a 5% improvement in travel times

Project Cost Estimates Cost planning starts with the proposal. The cost section may include:
Labor Materials Subcontractors and consultants (if used) Equipment and facilities rental Travel

Project Budgeting: Two Steps
First, the project cost estimate is allocated to the various work packages in the project work breakdown structure.
Second, the budget for each work package is distributed over the duration of the work package.
![Page 7: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Allocating the Total Budgeted Cost Allocating total project costs for the
various elements to the appropriate work packages will establish a total budgeted cost (TBC) for each work package.
There are two approaches to establishing the TBC for each work package: top-down and bottom-up.
When all budgets are summed, they cannot exceed the TBC.
![Page 8: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Developing the Cumulative Budgeted Cost The second step is to distribute each TBC
over the duration of its work package. A cost is determined for each period. The cumulative budgeted cost (CBC) is
the amount that was budgeted to accomplish the work that was scheduled to be performed up to that point in time.
One uses the CBC as the standard against which actual cost is compared.

Determining Actual Cost Track actual cost by establishing a
system to collect data on funds actually expended.
Periodically assign a portion of the total committed cost to actual cost. Funds may be committed but not yet paid
Total actual and committed cost by work package for comparison to the CBC.
Cumulative actual cost (CAC) should be calculated.

Determining the Value of Work Performed Earned value is the value of the work
actually performed.
Determine earned value by collecting data on the percent complete for each work package.
Convert this percentage to a dollar amount by multiplying the TBC of the work package by the percent complete.

Cost Performance Analysis Four Measures TBC (total budgeted cost) CBC (cumulative budgeted cost) CAC (cumulative actual cost) CEV (cumulative earned value)
![Page 18: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
181
Cost Performance Index (CPI) A measure of the cost efficiency with
which the project is being performed.
CPI = Cumulative Earned Val -------------------------- Cumulative Actual Cost
![Page 19: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Cost Variance (CV) The difference between the cumulative
earned value of the work performed and the cumulative actual cost.
Cost variance = Cum earned value – Cum actual cost
![Page 20: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Cost Forecasting: Three Methods
Three methods for determining forecasted cost at completion (FCAC):
FCAC = TBC / CPI
• Project continues at same rate of efficiency
FCAC = CAC + (TBC - CEV)
• Remaining work performed at CPI = 1
FCAC = CAC + Re-estimate of remaining work
• New forecast for remaining work
![Page 21: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Cost Control The key is to analyze cost
performance on a regular and timely basis.
Identify cost variances and inefficiencies early.
![Page 22: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Cost Control (Cont.) Involves the following:
Analyzing cost performance to determine which work packages may require corrective action.
Deciding what corrective action should be taken
Revising the project plan.
![Page 23: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Ways to Reduce Costs of Activities
Substitute less expensive materials. Assign a person with greater
expertise to perform or help with the activity.
Reduce the scope or requirements. Increase productivity through
improved methods or technology.
![Page 24: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Managing Cash Flow Make sure that sufficient payments
are received from the customer in time for you to cover the costs of performing the project.
The key to managing cash flow is to ensure that cash comes in faster than it goes out.
![Page 25: Chapter 9 Cost Planning and Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814495550346895db13402/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Project Management Software
All costs associated resources can be stored. The software calculates the budget for each work package and for the entire project.
The software allows the user to define different rate structures for each resource and when charges for those resources will be accrued.
Cost tables and graphs are available to help analyze cost performance.
