Earned value management software

Earned value, from the whole project to a single activity.

Every standard earned value metric, calculated from your schedule by cost or by units, so you can see the moment cost or schedule performance starts to slip.

Why teams choose it

Three reasons it earns its place.

01

Every metric, calculated for you.

PV, EV, AC, SPI, CPI, EAC, VAC and TCPI, worked out with the standard formulas, at every level of the project.

Standard EVM formulas
02

By cost or by units.

Measure performance in money or in resource and expense units, whichever fits how the work is managed.

Cost or units
03

Slippage spotted early.

SPI and CPI at the data date for every WBS, so underperforming packages stand out before the monthly report.

Every WBS, every update

Technical specification

Standard earned value, at every level.

The metrics

The standard formulas, nothing hidden.

Every figure traces back to planned value, earned value and actual cost, so your team and your client read the numbers the same way.

By WBS

See which packages are pulling performance down.

SPI and CPI at the data date sit beside units and physical progress for every WBS, so the weakest packages are obvious.

Daily view

Spot the days work went over budget.

Switch to units and the daily view shows, day by day, how much was used within budget, how much budget went unused and how much went over.
