19 An EVM introduction The EV terminology A case study The research project Static drivers of forecast accuracy Dynamic drivers of forecast accuracy Time sensitivity and corrective actions Top-down or bottom-up project tracking The software

20 Research project General conclusions instead of often subjective case study statements! Research topic 1: Static forecast accuracy drivers Research topic 2: Dynamic forecast accuracy drivers Research topic 3: Guide the corrective action decision making process Study 1 Determinants of forecast accuracy Study 2 Project structure (topological indicators) Baseline schedule (activity criticality) Schedule adherence (p-factor) Review period (percentage completed) Concept Project definition Project scheduling Project execution Project control Project termination Forecast accuracy Study 3 Feedback loop (earned value performance management) Management s attention (activity or project based) Corrective action decision making

21 An EVM introduction The EV terminology A case study The research project Static drivers of forecast accuracy Dynamic drivers of forecast accuracy Time sensitivity and corrective actions Top-down or bottom-up project tracking The software

22 Methodology Network indicators (4) Project network Generate project networks with a pre-defined structure Project schedule Construct an earliest start schedule (ESS) using forward calculations Planned Value (PV) Simulation scenarios (9) Project execution Monte-Carlo simulation for each activity s duration and cost Actual Cost (AC) Earned Value (EV) Project monitoring Measure the forecasting accuracy at each review period

23 Project network Topological structure of a network Number of activities, precedence relations, Influence on risk of delay, computer speed, schedule quality, resource consumption, etc... Wide and diverse set of project networks Idea: span the full range of complexity Parameter: SP indicator to measure the degree between a serial/parallel network

24 Baseline schedule Construction of baseline schedule Critical path method: ESS Planned Value PV S-curve Point-of-reference: The real purpose of a project schedule is to act as a predictive model of a team of resources and the project work destined for that team

25 Simulation scenarios Critical activities Non-critical activities SPI(t) = Legend: SPI(t): average project early warning performance signal > 1: average positive signal (ahead of schedule) < 1: average negative signal (schedule delay) RD: Real project duration

36 Forecast accuracy Project schedule and real-life execution: Murphy strikes! Real project duration Forecast accuracy = quality of average EAC(t) prediction = difference between average EAC(t) and RD 35 PV AC EV SPI(t) per period EAC(t) per period Average EAC(t) over complete horizon

37 Results (1) The earned schedule method outperforms, on average, the more traditional method (planned value method and earned duration method) EAC(t) estimate is too low EAC(t) estimate is too high Scenario 1 Scenario 2 True scenarios (1, 2, 5, 8, 9) ES >> PV and ED Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Scenario 5 Scenario 6 Misleading scenarios (4, 6) ES < PV and ED Scenario 7 Scenario 8 Scenario 9 Planned Value Earned Duration Earned Schedule False scenarios (3, 7) ES << PV and ED -2.% -1.%.% 1.% 2.% 3.% 4.%

38 Results (2) The network structure has a clear influence on the forecast accuracy 2 16 Early project 7.5 Late project SP low (parallel networks) Low accuracy SP high (serial networks) High accuracy Planned Value Earned Duration Earned Schedule From a parallel to a serial network From a parallel to a serial network

39 Results (3) Accuracy along the completion stage (beginning, middle or late) All forecasting methods have a relatively low accuracy at the project start. So what? The earned schedule method outperforms the other methods from the beginning of the project All other methods make the quirky mistake from the 5% à 6% percentage completed Early project Late project Early stage Middle stage Late stage Early stage Middle stage Late stage Planned Value Earned Duration Earned Schedule
