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...

Does Resource Curve affect Remaining Late Unit
It is well known that applying a resource curve affects the Remaining Early Units. But what about the Remaining Late Units?The answer is: yes, they are affected as well. In the Resource Assignment window, both Remaining Early Units and Remaining Late Units are displayed. When a resource curve is applied, it does not only influence... Continue Reading →
How does “Resource curve” work?
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 →
How does “Actual units” spread when you use Resource curve
We have an activity which is applied "Back Loaded" resource curve. When we update the progress, the actual units are distributed in the same pattern as planned.This means that even during progress updates, the resource allocation follows the back-loaded shape, more resources are consumed toward the later part of the activity rather than at the...
