Project Performance Data Analysis

Fig: Pie chart representing the status of the project

Schedule Analysis by Schedule Performance Indicator (SPI):

SPI = EV/PV

= $ 29,912 / $ 28,440

= 1.05

Based on the table above, we can deduce that the project is ahead by 5%.
Reason - Majority part of the execution phase like recruitment activities work package was completed well advance in time.

SPI Values	Status of the project
<1	Behind the Schedule
=1	On track with the schedule
>1	Ahead of the schedule

Project Performance Data Analysis

Fig: Bar Graph representing the budget status of the project

Cost Analysis by Cost Performance Indicator (SPI):

CPI = EV/AC

= $ 29,912.10 / $ 28,440

= 1.05

Based on the table above, we can deduce that the project is under budget because BAC is higher than EAC, having a variation (VAC) of $7,969.40.
Reasons are - good stakeholder management relations, impediment removal well in advance and setting a realistic schedule.

CPI Values	Status of the project
<1	Over Budget
=1	On track with the budget
>1	Under Budget
