BUS1100 Measuring EVM Performance Month Three

In this video a Government Program Manager (PM) and the Contractor's Program Manager (PM) are discussing the performance of their program based on Earned Value Management (EVM) data from the third month of execution.  The contractor ran into supply problems in the second month that impacted the program, but believes he has them fixed.  The PMs compare the Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP) to the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS) and the Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) to determine how the effort is doing with regard to cost and schedule after the third month.  Comparing BCWP to BCWS indicates that the program is still ahead of schedule.  However, comparing BCWP to ACWP indicates that, while costs have flattened out, the program is likely to overrun the original Budget at Completion (BAC). The PMs have to determine what they believe will be their Estimate at Completion (EAC).
