DI059598 Planned costs (PC)
Cumulated planned costs of the project up to the time of creation of the selected status report (PC means Planned costs). The value stems from the baseline status report (plan).The planned costs are defined at the beginning of a project and are distributed throughout the duration of the project. As a result, you receive a planned budget in the project at a particular point in time. This budget may then be used up by this point in time. If these costs are exceeded, the total budget may be exceeded by the end of the project (source: WikipediaNotes
- In PLANTA project, the term Planned costs is only used for the Earned Value Analysis. In project planning, planned costs are named Remaining/Planned Costs.
- I.e., in PLANTA project the initially planned remaining/planned costs of the project that were "frozen" in the baseline report serve as planned costs.

DI059584 Actual + remaining costs (AC)
Information- AC means Actual costs.
- Here, the aggregated actual costs of the project from the approved status report which was used for earned value analysis are displayed.
- Actual costs of completed work
- Actual costs are all costs of the project that have incurred by a particular date.
- Actual costs are also called ACWP (Actual Costs of Work Performed).
DI059532 Earned value (EV)
Calculated earned value (completion value) of the project (EV means Earned value). The achieved earned value arises within the project period and displays the actual value of the accomplished work. Calculation- Earned value (EV) = Planned costs (PC) up to the calculated end of the task * Work progress of the project
- Planned costs up to the project end are the Planned costs (PC) cumulated over the entire runtime of the project.
DI059533 Cost performance index (CPI)
Calculated cost performance index of the project (CPI means Cost Performance Index) Calculation- Cost Performance Index (CPI) =Earned value (EV) / Actual costs (AC)
- Values greater than 1 are good since the earned value exceeds the actual costs (e.g. CPI = 1.2). Such values indicate cost savings within the project.
- Values less than 1 are bad since the earned value is lower than the actual costs (e.g. CPI = 0.75). Such values show that the project will be more expensive than planned.
DI059534 Schedule performance index (SPI)
Calculated schedule performance index of the project (SPI means Schedule performance index). The schedule performance index is used to evaluate how far the project is away from the planned target in terms of time. Calculation- Schedule performance index (SPI) =Earned value (EV) / Planned costs (AC)
- Values > 1 mean that the project proceeds faster than initially planned.
- Values < 1 indicate a project delay.
DI059589 Cost variance (CV)
Calculated cost variance of the project (CV means Cost variance) Calculation- Cost variance CV = Earned value (EV) - Actual costs (AC)
DI059588 Schedule variance (SV)
Calculated variance of the schedule of the project (SV means Schedule variance). A negative schedule variance indicates that the schedule for the entire project cannot be met. Calculation- Schedule variance (SV) = Earned value (EV) - Planned costs (PC)
DI059585 Work progress
Calculated work progress of the project in percent Information- The work progress is the basis on which the earned value is calculated.
- Work progress = Actual costs * 100 / Total costs
- The corresponding field is hidden by default but can be displayed by the user if necessary.

Date on which the status report has been createdFrom DB 39.5.8
