Project Management Formulas
Purpose |
Formula |
Net Present Value |
PV = FV/(1+r)n |
Internal Rate of Return |
Discount rate at which net present value = 0 |
Expected Monetary Value (EMV) |
Σ products of probabilities & corresponding values |
Incentive fee |
The target fee adjusted by the seller’s share ration as a percentage of the cost variance from the target cost. |
PERT |
Use Beta distribution formulas |
Triangular Distribution |
Mean = (a+m+b) / 3 |
Variance |
v = (a2+m2+b2-am-ab-mb) / 18 |
Standard Deviation |
σ = √variance |
Beta Distribution |
Mean = (a+4m+b) / 6 |
Variance |
v = [(b-a)/6]2 |
Standard Deviation |
σ = (b-a)/6 = √variance |
Total Triangular & Beta Mean Variance Standard Diviation |
Σ [Individual means] v = Σ [Individual variance] σ = √Total variance |
Communication paths |
n(n-1)/2 |
Earned value |
CV = EV – AC |
SV = EV - PV |
|
CPI = EV / AC |
|
SPI = EV / PV |
|
ETC = EAC – AC |
|
VAC = BAC – EAC |
|
TCPI = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC) |
|
EAC Do not extrapolate variances |
BAC + AC – EV |
EAC Ignore existing budget |
AC + ETC |
EAC Variances will continue |
BAC / CPI |
EAC Worst case |
BAC/(CPI * SPI) |
EAC PMBOK formula |
AC + (BAC - EV) /CPI |
Point of total assumption |
