Read the first 7 Progress Tracking flashcards as text

  1. A schedule performance index (SPI) of 0.85 on a project means:

    Answer: The project is progressing at 85% of the planned rate

    SPI = EV/PV, so 0.85 means the team is only accomplishing 85 cents of planned work for every dollar of scheduled work.

  2. Which technique involves team members estimating the percentage of work completed on each activity?

    Answer: Percent complete

    The percent complete technique relies on team members' subjective estimates of how much of each activity has been finished.

  3. When using the 0/100 rule for progress measurement, work is credited:

    Answer: Only upon full completion of the activity

    The 0/100 rule credits no earned value until the activity is fully complete, at which point 100% credit is given.

  4. A project's To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI) based on BAC is calculated as:

    Answer: (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC)

    TCPI(BAC) = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC), representing the cost efficiency needed to complete remaining work within the original budget.

  5. Which type of variance analysis compares the amount of work planned versus the amount of work completed?

    Answer: Schedule variance

    Schedule variance (SV = EV - PV) compares earned value (work completed) against planned value (work scheduled) to measure schedule performance.

  6. A project manager notices that the actual finish date of several activities matches the baseline finish date. This indicates:

    Answer: The project is on schedule for those activities

    When actual finish dates match baseline finish dates, those activities were completed as planned, indicating on-schedule performance.

  7. In the context of PMI-SP, what does 'float consumption' tracking help a scheduler identify?

    Answer: Which near-critical paths are at risk of becoming critical

    Tracking float consumption reveals paths that are losing buffer time and may soon become critical, requiring proactive management.
