Project Cost Management is primarily concerned with.....
|
the cost of the resourves needed to complete schedule activities.
|
|
Cost Estimating
|
developing an approximation of the costs of the resourves aneeded to complete project activities
|
|
Cost Budgeting
|
aggregating the estimated costs of individual activites or work packages to establish a cost baseline.
|
|
Cost Control
|
influencing the factors that create cost variances and controlling changes to the project budget
|
|
Earned Value Rules
|
1. earned value management computation formulas or determining the estimate to complete are defined.
2. Earned value credit criteria are established 3. define the WBS level at which earned value technique analysis will be performed |
|
Cost Estimating: Inputs
|
1.Enterprise Environmental Factors
2.Organizational Process Assets -Cost estimating policies -cost estimating templates -historical information -project files -project team knowledge -lessons learned 3. Project Scope Statement 4. WBS 5. WBS Dictionary 6. Project Management Plan -schedule management plan -staffing management plan -risk register |
|
Cost Estimating: Tools and Techniques
|
1. Analogous Estimating
2. Determine Resource Cost Rates 3. Bottom-Up Estimating 4. Parametric Estimating 5. Project Management Software 6. Vendor Bid Analysis 7. Reserve Analysis 8. Cost of Quality |
|
Analogous Estimating
|
using the actual cost of previous, similar projects as a basis for estimating the current one
|
|
Bottom-Up Estimating
|
Start by estimating the work packages with the lowest level of detail and work your way up
|
|
Parametric Estimating
|
uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables to calculate a cost estimate.
|
|
Cost Estimating: Outputs
|
1. Activity Cost Estimates
2. Activity Cost Supporting Detail 3. Requested Changes 4. Cost Management Plan(Updates) |
|
Cost Budgeting: Inputs
|
1. Prject Scope Statement
2. WBS 3. WBS Dictionary 4. Activity Costs Estimates 5. Activity Costs Estimates Supporting Detail 6. Project Schedule 7. Resource Calendars 8. Contract 9.Cost Management Plan |
|
Cost Budgeting: Tools and Techniques
|
1. Cost Aggregation
2. Reserve Analysis 3. Parametric Estimating 4. Funding Limit Reconcilitation |
|
Cost Aggregation
|
Start by aggregating work package costs at bottom and work up until entire project cost is determined
|
|
Reserve Analysis
|
establishes contingency reserves which may inflate the estimated cost of a project
|
|
Cost Budgeting: Outputs
|
1. Cost Baseline
2. Project Funding requirements 3. Cost Management Plan(Updates) 4. Requested Changes |
|
Cost Baseline
|
time-phasedbudget that is used as a basis against which to measure, monitor, and control overall cost performance on the project.
|
|
Funding Requirements
|
appears as a step function inbetween the cost baseling and expected cash flow. The difference between the maximum funding and the end of the cost baseling is the management reserve
|
|
Cost Control: Inputs
|
1. Cost Baseline
2. Project Funding Requirements 3. Performance Reports 4. Work Performance Information 5. Approved Chang Requests 6. Project management Plan |
|
Work Performance Information
|
Information collected regarding the status and cost of project activities being performed.
|
|
Cost Control: Tools and techniques
|
1. Cost Change Control System
2. Performance Measurement Analysis -Earned Value -Planned Value -Actual Cost -Estimate to complete -estimate at completion -cost variance -schedule variance -cost performance index -schedule performance index 3. forecasting 4. Project Performance Reviews -Variance Analysis -Trend Analysis -Earned Value Technique 5. Project Managemtn Software 6. Variance management |
|
Planned Value (PV)
|
budgeted cost for the work scheduled to be completed on an activity
|
|
Earned Value (EV)
|
budgeted amount for the work actually completed on an activity
|
|
Actual Cost (AC)
|
total cost incurred in accomplishing work on the sheduled activity
|
|
Estimate to Complete (ETC)
|
based on atypical variances
ETC=(BAC-EV) based on typical variances ETC=(BAC-EV)/CPI |
|
Estimate at Completion (EAC)
|
using a new estimate
EAC=AC+ETC using remaining budget EAC=AC+BAC-EV using CPI EAC=AC+((BAC-EV)/CPI) |
|
Cost Variance (CV)
|
CV=EV-AC
|
|
Scheduled Variance (SV)
|
SV=EV-PV
|
|
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
|
CPI=EV/AC
|
|
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
|
SPI=EV/PV
|
|
Budget At Completion (BAC)
|
BAC=total PV at completion
|
|
Variance Analysis
|
compaing actual project performance to planned or expected performance
|
|
Trend Analysis
|
examining project performance over time to determine if performance is improving or deteriorating
|
|
Earned Value Technique
|
compares planned performance to actual
|
|
Cost Control: Outputs
|
1. Cost Estimates (Updates)
2. Cost Baseline (Updates) 3. Performance Measures 4. Forecasted Completion 5. Requested Changes 6. Recommended Corrective Action 7. Organizational Process Assets (Updates) 8. Project Management Plan (Updates) |
