How does Primavera P6 calculate Planned Value Cost for Activities without linear distribution (using Resource Curves or Manual plan) in Earned Value Management

When applying the Earned Value Management (EVM) technique in Primavera P6, one of the key metrics is Planned Value (PV), which is calculated as: Planned Value (PV) = Budget at Completion (BAC) × Schedule % Complete Earned Value (EV) = BAC × Performance % Complete (typically equal to Activity % Complete) Schedule Variance (SV) = EV – PV A positive SV indicates the project is ahead of schedule, making Planned Value a critical...

Let’s assume we have an activity with a duration of 100 days and 100 labor units.By default, the resource distribution follows a linear spread. This means that the resources are distributed evenly over time.For example: At 5% of the duration (Day 5), you will have used 5% of the total units (5 units). The resource... Continue Reading →
