EVMS 32 Criteria
• Industry Standard EIA 748, paragraph 2.4.f“Develop revised estimates of cost at completion based
on performance to date, commitment values for material, and estimates of future conditions. Compare this information with the performance measurement baseline to identify variances at completion important to company management and any applicable customer reporting requirements including statements of funding requirements.”

Performance Analysis Process• Objective analysis from the data:
– Status performance to time now– Look for performance trends– Compare tends with a baseline plan– Project performance trends into the future– Relate projected trends to some meaningful objective
• Subjective analysis from information:– Investigate root causes of variances– Identify future influencing factors and risk– Adjust projected trends– Assess resource requirements– Compare with contract parameters

Traditional Performance Analysis
The Line GraphX-Axis: Passage of time
Years, quarters, months, weeks, days, etc.
Y-Axis: Measure of ResourcesDollars, items, lengths, volumes, etc.

The Line Graph

Line Graph Charts
The presentation is limiting . . .
– Depicts absolute values versus a time scale
– That focus on performance history
– Difficult to identify trends
– Difficult to compare trends to a baseline plan
– Difficult to develop credible cost projections to completion

Estimate At Completion FormulaEAC = Actuals + PF X Remaining Planned Value
– Assumes Performance Factor will be a constant
– And 1 unit of Planned Value will convert to 1+/- unit of Actual
The Estimate At Completion Formula
– Provides a point estimate
– Is a limited predictive metric
– That inherently underestimates overruns
– And inherently underestimates underruns

A Different Look At Performance
Relationship-Objective Analysis
X-Axis: Value of work completed
Y-Axis: Progress toward an (Objective)
Percent Complete = Work Completed Baseline Total Value X 100
Percent Of (Objective) = Resources Value Value Of (Objective) X 100
![Page 13: RELATIONSHIP-OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/568150eb550346895dbf0469/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

An (Objective) May Be• Baseline Total Value • Estimate At Completion• Contract At Cost• Contract At Price• Contract Liability
• Or any general (Objective) that is a specific resource value
![Page 15: RELATIONSHIP-OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/568150eb550346895dbf0469/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Variance As Percent Line Graph

Variances As % Of Baseline Plan
• Deviation from baseline time plan
• Deviation from baseline resource plan
Reduces volatility of variance trends in early periods of the project.
Time Variance = Completed Value - Planned Value Baseline Total Value X 100
Resource Variance = Completed Value - Resources Used Baseline Total Value X 100

Performance Efficiency Since Start
• Value of work completed with resources used
• History of past performance efficiency
• Efficient > 100%• Inefficient < 100%
Resource Use Efficiency Index Since Start = Completed ValueResources Used X 100
Time Value Efficiency Index Since Start = Completed ValuePlanned Value X 100

Performance Efficiency To Finish
• Ability to accomplish work within (Objective)
• Future performance required
Efficiency Index To Meet (Objective) = Remaining Planned Value(Objective) Resources Remaining X 100
Efficiency Index To Meet (Objective) = Baseline Total Value - Completed Value(Objective) - Resources Used X 100

Rate Of Using Resources
• History of a “resource burn rate”
Resource Use as % Of (Objective) = Resources Used (Objective) X 100
Planned Value as % Of (Objective) = Planned Value (Objective) X 100
Completed Value as % Of (Objective) = Completed Value (Objective) X 100

Performance FactorsShould be related to performance
Running Average ~ Resource Use Efficiency Index (Period of Time)
Product ~ Resource Use Efficiency Index X Time Value Efficiency Index
Weighted ~ 0.8 Resource Use Efficiency Index + 0.2 Time Value Efficiency Index
Time Value Kicker ~ Resource Use Efficiency Index + 0.2 Time Value Efficiency Index
Cumulative ~ Resource Use Efficiency Index

Trend Line Projection Analysis
• Identify performance trend
• Select set of data to project trend
• Determine “best fit” line– Y-Axis intercept– Slope of “best fit” line
• Extrapolate to 100% complete
Projects performance trend to end of effort

Thoughts While Showering . . .
• Focus on the BIG picture first, then dig deeper
• Volatility indicates poor baseline plan, poor discipline, or both
• Watch for front loading due to optimistic planning
• Significant change in scope creates a new baseline
• Don’t be fooled by the early “resource variance hump”
• Time variances are associated with Work-In-Progress
• Time variances disappear when work is completed
• Resource variances accumulate when work is completed
• Time variances lead resource variances
• Look for long term trends and assess impacts
![Page 32: RELATIONSHIP-OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/568150eb550346895dbf0469/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Thoughts While Shaving . . .
• An Index produces a ratio• EAC formula produces a point estimate• EAC as percent of an (Objective) produces a rate of
change• Trends usually appear before 20% Complete
• Relationship-Objective Analysis extrapolates rate of change trend to completion . . .
. . . And gives you Full Value from Earned Value
![Page 33: RELATIONSHIP-OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/568150eb550346895dbf0469/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Thoughts While Sitting . . .
• The Performance Factor is not constant as the Estimate At Completion formula assumes
• The trend of the Performance factor is the key determining parameter for the most realistic Estimate At Completion
• Understand which Performance factor should be the best predictor and why

Agathe Christie Says . . .
“Getting Full Value from Earned Value with Relationship-Objective Analysis is like a good
detective story.
The main characters are introduced, the plot is established, and the clues to Who Dunit
emerge in the first 20% of the story.”
