About this Document

I created this document for use with my PocketPC. It summarizes the key topics from all the various other documents that I have created. I deploy it as a PDF on my web site because it is simple to upload, simple to access and easy to download. On my PocketPC, however, I find that it works best as an Excel file. If you would like the Excel version of this file or the original Word or Excel versions of my other notes, please send me an email.

CPM Quick Reference

Pick ONE Style and stay with it For Me, the easiest convention is:
Starting Point: Zero Addition: Early Finish = Early Start + Duration Increment: Early Start = Early Finish of LATEST predecessor

Forward Pass
Read the problem carefully Draw the diagram with your notation Add the values given by the Question Work left to right on tasks with 1 predecessor When tasks Join, Latest EF wins

Backward Pass
Convention going back matches forward Start with the End Node Work right to left Late Finish = Late Start of EARLIEST dependent Late Start = Late Finish - Duration

Critical Path
Project must have a single start and single end Calculate the Floats Float = Late Finish - Early Finish Critical Path is the set of Nodes with 0 Float Write down your answer

Answer the Question

Read the problem carefully -- again Compare your answer to the list of answers Then answer the question

WBSID Duration Early Start Late Start Crashing

Find the Critical Path Only crash nodes on the Critical Path Work from highest Benefit/Cost order Crash one node at a time Re-Evaluate the Critical Path after every change Stop when the desired schedule reduction is achieved Copyright Robert E. Perrine, PMP mailto:rperrine5@cox.net http://members.cox.net/rperrine5

EV Quick Reference
Earned Value Vocabulary
AC BAC CPI CV EAC ETC EV PV SPI SV VAC Actual Cost (to date) Budget At Completion (planned budget) Cost Performance Index (CPI = EV / AC) Cost Variance (CV = EV - AC) Estimate At Completion (Formulas are listed below) Estimate To Complete (ETC = EAC - AC) Earned Value (EV = PV * %Complete) Planned Value: BAC for this task or CAP Schedule Performance Index (SPI = EV / PV) Schedule Variance (SV = EV - PV) Variance At Completion (VAC = BAC - EAC)

Key Earned Value Formulas

Cost Performance Index Cost Variance Earned Value (for a task) Estimate To Complete Schedule Performance Index Schedule Variance Variance At Completion CPI = EV / AC CV = EV - AC EV = PV * %Complete ETC = EAC - AC SPI = EV / PV SV = EV - PV VAC = BAC - EAC

Estimate At Completion Equations

When the project is re-estimated When variances are not typical When variances should stay the same Projection based upon variances to date EAC = AC + ETC EAC = AC + (BAC - EV) EAC = AC + ((BAC - EV) / CPI) EAC = BAC / CPI

Other Useful Vocabulary

Estimated Time Remaining Estimated Time to Complete (total) Percent Complete Percent Spent ( Original Estimate Duration / SPI ) - Time Elapsed so far Original Estimate Duration / SPI Either the percent completion of a task or of a CAP or of the project (see below) %Spent = AC / BAC

Percent Completion
Project %Complete For a task This can be calculated using task durations or by using Earned Value. EV = PV * %Complete BAC = Sum of all the PV values Hence, %Complete for the Project = (Sum of the EV values) / BAC

Derivation of EAC equations

Derivation of EAC equations EAC = AC + (BAC - EV) = AC + ((BAC - EV) / CPI), when CPI = 1 EAC = AC + ((BAC - EV)/CPI) = AC + BAC/CPI - EV/CPI = BAC/CPI Hence, EAC = AC + ((BAC - EV) / CPI) is the basis for all of these special cases.

Vocabulary that is slowing being phased out

ACWP BCWP BCWS Copyright Robert E. Perrine, PMP mailto:rperrine5@cox.net http://members.cox.net/rperrine5 Actual Cost of Work Performed (replaced by AC) Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (replaced by EV) Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (replaced by PV)

Decision Tree Quick Reference

List the alternatives Assign probabilities Draw the tree Assign probable benefits and costs Calculate the expected value Net Revenue = (Benefit Cost) Expected Value = (Net Revenue) * (Probability) Expected Value at a junction is the sum of the branches Work every branch and junction from right to left Solve Either for the whole Or to identify the best branches

Components of the Project Plan

PMBOK Description from page 45 Project Charter A description of the project management approach or strategy (a summary of the individual management plans from the other knowledge areas). Name of the Output Project Charter Nameless documents Process that Creates this Output Scope Initiation Project Plan Development

Scope statement, which includes the project objectives and the project Scope Statement deliverables. WBS to the level at which control will be exercised, as a baseline scope Work Breakdown Structure document. Cost estimates, scheduled start and finish dates (schedule), and responsibility Cost Estimate assignments for each deliverable within the WBS to the level at which control will be exercised. Project Schedule Roles and Responsibility Assignments Performance measurement baselines for technical scope, schedule, and cost Cost Baseline i.e., the schedule baseline (project schedule) and the cost baseline (timephased project budget). Major milestones and target dates for each. Milestones ? Resource Requirements Key or required staff and their expected cost and/or effort. Risk management plan, including: key risks, including constraints and Risk Management Plan assumptions, and planned responses and contingencies (where appropriate) for each. Scope management plan Subsidiary management plans, namely: Schedule management plan Cost management plan Quality management plan Staffing management plan Communications management plan Risk response plan Procurement management plan Open issues and pending decisions. Project Reports ? Organization Chart Other project planning outputs should be included in the formal plan, based upon the needs of the individual project. For example, the project plan for a large project will generally include a project organization chart.
