|
|
|
CPI. |
|
|
|
SPI. |
|
|
|
SV. |
|
|
|

7 The cost variance for a project is calculated by
|
|
|
EV - PV. |
|
|
|
PV - EV. |
|
|
|
AC - SV. |
|
|
|
CV - EV. |
|
|
|
EV - AC. |
8 The earned value system starts with the time-phased costs that provide the project baseline, which is called the
|
|
|
Earned value of work scheduled. |
|
|
|
Planned budgeted value of work scheduled. |
|
|
|
Scheduled value of work completed. |
|
|
|
Scheduled value of work scheduled. |
|
|
|
Planned budgeted value of work completed. |
9 The first step in the project control process for measuring and evaluating project performance is to
|
|
|
Review the project priority matrix. |
|
|
|
Determine the project objectives. |
|
|
|
Analyze the project budget. |
|
|
|

10 The following are general tips for conducting performance reviews EXCEPT
|
|
|
Be fair and consistent in your treatment of all team members. |

|
|
Treat the review as only one point in an ongoing process. |

|
The project team performed. |
|
|
|
