UniPhi automatically calculates Earned Value (EV) metrics at all levels of the WBS, provided you have a Baseline Resource Plan and Progress data.
These metrics can be displayed in our PowerBi Embedded Dashboards.
Key Metrics Explained
BCWS (Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled): This is the value of the work you planned to do by today. It is derived entirely from your Baseline Resource Plan (Blue Line) .
ACWP (Actual Cost of Work Performed): This is what you actually spent. It is derived from Timesheets x Rates .
BCWP (Earned Value): This is the value of the work you actually accomplished. It is calculated as Budget x % Complete.
Performance Indices
UniPhi uses these metrics to give you "at a glance" performance scores on the dashboard:
SPI (Schedule Performance Index): Earned Value / Budget. If < 1, you are behind schedule.
CPI (Cost Performance Index): Earned Value / Actual Costs. If < 1, you are over budget.
